Uber posted strong Q3 results, beating both top- and bottom-line estimates, with significant growth in adjusted EBITDA and free cash flows. Despite a slight miss in Q4 gross bookings guidance, Uber's consistent track record of exceeding its own guidance suggests an overreaction in the market. Competitive threats from Lyft-DoorDash partnership and potential Tesla Cybercab release are emerging, and investors need to be wary.
Uber Technologies, Inc. has shown impressive gains since August 5th, 2024, driven by strong quarterly earnings and revenue growth. The company reported earnings of $1.20 per share in Q3, surpassing consensus estimates by 192.68%, and revenue of $11.19 billion, indicating 20% annualized growth. Uber's forward PE ratio is 25.2x, higher than Lyft but lower than DoorDash and Tesla, making it relatively attractive based on price-book value.

Massachusetts voters on Tuesday approved a ballot measure that would allow ride-share drivers to unionize, becoming the first U.S. state to allow drivers for app-based companies like Uber and Lyft to do so.
Uber's stock plunged ~9% after earnings, and I think the stock is even attractive at current levels for mid-to-long-term investors. Uber's focus on geographic expansion, affordability, and capital allocation in less densely populated markets positions it well for future growth and share gains. While it's too soon to tell, I'm watching Uber's strides in the AV market for the long term.
