On April 18th, 2023 we made a stock alert on Uber Technologies, Inc. (UBER) at $32.08 a share and added it to our Short & Long Term Portfolio. The stock has reached $45.24 a share as of June 28, 2023. We made this alert, because Uber in our opinion is now the clear leader in the ride-sharing business. Uber is basically in a duopoly along with Lyft, Inc., but Lyft is continually losing share to Uber. "Uber" is now the verb when it comes to ride sharing. Additionally, we love how Uber is branching out to Uber Freight and Uber Rentals.
On Uber's last quarterly report the Company beat on the top and bottom lines and swung to a positive earnings of $0.29 a share compared to an expected loss of $0.21 a share. Revenue grew 49% year over year. At the stock's price back in April, we believed UBER was undervalued and should trend higher and of course it has. Barring any unforeseen dramatic changes in their business, world politics, and/or economy, we continue to like the stock on pullbacks and expect pullbacks to be short-lived. At the time of our alert, we gave the stock a Short Term Price Target of $37, which it has breached. We are now raising that target to $49 a share... expecting that target to be breached within 1-3 months.
SHORT-TERM PRICE TARGET
$49 (Raised from $37 target hit)
CATALYST
