Uber's current business model is viewed positively by many analysts, highlighting significant efficiency and profitability improvements over the years. The company's ventures into autonomous vehicles and partnerships with various AV firms provide ample growth opportunities, side by side its well-established services like Uber Eats and freight. The app boasts a vast user base, which contributes to its market control and pricing power, mitigating competition concerns. However, the looming risks from competitors like Tesla and Waymo, along with a complex regulatory landscape, could hinder progress. Nonetheless, analysts remain optimistic, suggesting that Uber's strategic developments, combined with expanding cash flow, position it well for the future.
Let's look at the chart, as the first thing you do is check the technical structure. Stock's not only come down, but also fallen below the 200-day MA. The 200-day MA, itself, is starting to go sideways and downwards. Weakening. Guided lower on earnings.
Expected earnings growth rate is very strong double digits, and the PE isn't bad at 27x. However, the chart's telling you something different. Chart for much of 2023 and 2024 had been sideways. Potential for regulation to come along and hurt profits.
It sank 7.56% after reporting. Headwinds: robotaxi competition, Trump's close relationship with Musk/Tesla, and Uber's rideshare bookings missed in Q3-2024. Other numbers were solid: gross booking rose 18% YOY, revenue, cash flow growth and total trips all beat expectations. Their guidance for the quarter was in-line with expectations. But their Q4 GAAP operating income of $770 million badly missed the $1.19 billion estimate, but was hit by a $462 million hit from a one-time expense for legal, tax and regulatory changes. He feels that the robotaxi competition isn't that much of a threat. He won't give up on Uber.
Underpriced, misunderstood. Falls every time TSLA makes a statement about robotaxis, though there's no direct relationship. Will have a piece of a much bigger pie. Coordinating with Waymo. Advertising is untapped. Very well managed.
Now part of the S&P 500, so it's part of the passive buying of index funds and ETFs. Lots of promise at this price.
In his momentum mandate. Today's price is a good price to get in. Price target: $higher, for a long time to come. Developing a recurring revenue model. Expanding geographically. Fledgling meaningful profit growth will continue. Very bullish from a secular standpoint. Light years ahead of biggest rival, LYFT.
Always volatile. They lead this space, which needs consolidation. Also, what will Waymo do in taxi rides? He's always been nervous about this business--there's always demand for drivers and associated costs, and government regulations will likely going away under Trump. But what is Uber's real pricing power? It's never been a cheap stock. That said, they built a great mousetrap, but a great service is not always a great stock.
One of the most mispriced stocks around. Idea of win/loss in the space is simplistic. Good quality companies will get their piece of the pie. Well-respected brand, good app penetration. Growing at 25% annual clip on topline and earnings. Advertising is the fourth leg of the stool, and this is just getting started.
He just returned to this. Shares rose when Bill Ackman moved in. He targets $100.
