Warn: Primary pillar under pressure — Increase Adjusted EBITDA to at least $2.48 billion: Q2 EBITDA $2.08B vs target $2.48B.
Uber grows gross bookings 25% yearly to $53.7 billion. Profit measured by Adjusted EBITDA rose 33% to $2.5 billion. Free cash flow is positive at $2.3 billion, showing operational strength. Partnerships in autonomous driving and delivery boost future growth.
Legal and regulatory issues in key markets could slow growth. Pausing expansion in Europe may hurt gross bookings. Leadership changes risk disrupting strategy and operations.
The price is about 28% below our fair value near $104, reflecting a cautious view. Analysts expect 16% revenue growth, which aligns with management's recent performance but leaves limited room for disappointment.
Breaks if: Adjusted EBITDA falls below $1.87 billion (2025-Q1 level)
Focus on increasing Adjusted EBITDA as a key financial metric.
This is not a price target or investment advice.
A long-form read on the 1–3 year hold thesis. It updates when the weekly evidence changes.
This investment represents a durable compounder with a focus on profitable growth and market expansion. The current thesis state is intact, supported by strong recent earnings and a commitment to increasing Adjusted EBITDA and EPS.
The market currently prices UBER as cheap compared to its peers, with a slight expectations gap. This suggests that while the stock is seen as undervalued, there is still a cautious outlook due to potential sector challenges.
Fundamentals are likely to remain strong, as management has consistently prioritized profitable growth and has delivered solid results in recent quarters. However, there is an elevated risk of missing earnings expectations, given the company's recent erratic performance.
The thesis hinges on UBER's ability to maintain its growth trajectory and manage sector dynamics. Key factors include guidance from sector bellwethers and the successful integration of recent acquisitions, particularly in Turkey.
The most important moves since the prior daily snapshot.
Mixed, the news cuts both ways. Uber announced a significant restructuring, cutting about 10% of its workforce. This move aims to reduce operational complexity and is expected to save up to $2 billion annually. However, the company missed earnings expectations in its latest report, which raises concerns about its financial performance. Investors may view Uber's focus on operational efficiency and autonomous driving as a distinct competitive strategy compared to peers.
