The entire model is based on efficiency, and self-driving vehicles would eliminate the huge costs of drivers. It has relationships with Waymo and other self-driving companies and has a big investment in this space. There is lots of opportunity. It has Uber Eats, freight and advertising and hasn't yet maximized on this. There are 185 million subscribers that use the app. They are growing into their multiple and trading at market value in spite of growth at a much higher level. Headwinds could be competition but this can be good for business.

It has a great core business. Its rideshare and food didtribution businesses are humming along with growing cash flow. It is getting more sign-ups every year with its Uber1 memberships. Investors have been worried about Waymo and Tesla in the autonomous vehicle space and they do have better quality than Uber. However Uber has been developing partnerships with about a dozen start-up Autonomous Vehicle companies which are super impressive. We should see Uber roll out a lot of these launches over the next 12 months.     Buy 53  Hold 7  Sell 1

Reported a good quarter, trades at 25x PE, and has fine growth.

Another great long-term hold. Trades relatively cheaply. Earns a lot of cash. Good job acquiring and rolling up. Autonomous cars will be a game-changer. Dominates all markets it's in.

Challenge will be competition from TSLA and Weymo. Once it reaches saturation, what can it do for its next trick? The law of diminishing returns might catch up with it. With partnerships, it can maintain its hold on pricing power. Fundamentals are good. 

His one knock against the company is an ethical one -- wishes it would treat its drivers better. It should follow the model of COST.

It's been sideways. He sold some shares. A quality company and shares have momentum. It needs a catalyst.

Prefers it to Lyft. Uber is very cheap now.

They have millions of entrenched customers, plus Uber Eats. They have global presence and are capital-lite. Their platform can spawn other businesses like ads, which would be huge. Also, they have a great balance sheet.

She's traded it a few times. Moved from a high-growth story to one of profitability & efficiency, and that's changed how the market sees it. She sees autonomous driving as the big opportunity, as it's the network to monetize the demand.

Stock got a lift from Rivian partnership. Q4 was a beat, ride-hailing is up 19%, delivery up 30% YOY. Good story, likes it. Sober valuations. 

But this is a tough market. Other names are more attractive. Buy now? No. Hold? Absolutely, and add at lower levels.

Got hit on fears that AI was going to destroy everyone's business. Totally autonomous is a ways away. Has the customer base. Drop is considerable, great buying opportunity.

Has had a rough ride. It's a stock for the future. Long-term, will participate in food delivery and self-driving cars. Is trading cheaply. A good time to buy.

They used it for a trade and have moved on. People are worried about impact of autonomous driving -- doesn't think the system will change all that rapidly. Autonomous cars are very expensive. Uber's model is great in that drivers bear the costs.

Reasonable valuation. Management's done a good job. If you're a long-term investor, should be a good player and survive.

Drawdown related to AI pressures on software. Looks relatively compelling, but think twice about what you're trying to get from the stock. A growthy stock, tends to be volatile. Great business, outlook looks fairly reasonable.

Can use AI to leverage benefits of its business.
