What Uber does

Global ride-hailing and delivery platform connecting riders/eaters with drivers and couriers, plus freight brokerage.

Earns by taking a commission or fee from each ride or delivery rather than owning cars or employing drivers, who are independent contractors, a status regulators keep contesting. Mobility and delivery carry the business, with advertising and Uber One memberships newer. It holds stakes in rivals such as Grab and Didi from earlier exits.

What could go right

Is Uber expensive compared with its peers?
On forward p/e it trades at 16.8× against a peer median of 16.7×, 11th cheapest of 21 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about 14% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +36%, so the hurdle is -22 pp: the price already allows for a slowdown.
How has Uber stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned -9.1% against +6.2% for the median peer; over one year -26.1%.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
