Key Uber Technologies News

Here are the key news stories impacting Uber Technologies this week:

• Positive Sentiment: Q4 revenue, bookings and user growth were strong — revenue rose ~20% and gross bookings topped estimates, with active users and trips reaching record levels, and the company generated materially higher free cash flow. These results support the growth story and buyback/capital-allocation optionality. Company press release
• Positive Sentiment: Autonomous-vehicle (robotaxi) progress and partnerships: management highlighted AV ambition and expansion of robotaxi programs (markets named include Hong Kong, Madrid, Houston, Zurich), which investors view as a multitrillion‑dollar long‑term opportunity that could transform margins over time. Seeking Alpha
• Positive Sentiment: Analyst and institutional support — several firms reaffirmed or raised targets (including upgrades and $100+ targets from Citizens JMP, BTIG and Needham), signaling conviction among some buy‑side and sell‑side investors about upside from growth and cash flow.
• Neutral Sentiment: Management change: Uber promoted Balaji Krishnamurthy to CFO — he’s a vocal robotaxi backer. That underscores continued AV prioritization but raises questions about near‑term margin focus vs. long‑term investment. TechCrunch
• Neutral Sentiment: Mixed analyst tone — some firms reiterated Neutral/Market‑perform ratings citing competitive and AV‑related uncertainty even as others remain constructive; expect divergent analyst calls to keep volatility elevated. Proactive Investors
• Negative Sentiment: Profitability and guidance miss: adjusted EPS for Q4 missed estimates and Uber guided Q1 EPS below consensus (company gave 0.65–0.72 vs. higher Street estimate), citing cheaper ride options and higher taxes that boosted trips but compressed margins — the principal driver of the stock decline. Reuters
• Negative Sentiment: One‑time charges and EPS volatility: investors are focused on an equity‑investment charge and the gap between GAAP and adjusted metrics, which amplified the profit miss and increased short‑term uncertainty. Zacks
• Negative Sentiment: Market reaction: heavy trading and a sizable share sell‑off followed the results and guidance, reflecting investor preference for near‑term profitability over growth/AV optionality right now. Barron’s
