Why confidence moved

“Uber’s platform advantage continues to compound: record consumers and engagement, and profitable growth across our business”
“We’re investing from a position of strength, as we accelerate our cross-platform strategy at a global scale and build the world’s largest platform for autonomous vehicles.”
“Gross Bookings grew 22%, Non-GAAP EPS grew 35%, and trailing twelve-month free cash flow exceeded $10 billion for the first time in Uber’s history—giving us the flexibility to both invest for the future and pursue strategic opportunities, while continuing to reduce our share count.”
