$Uber Technologies(UBER.US)$ released its latest quarterly results a few days ago.
I think it slowly become a stable growth rather than a hypergrowth, and soon be a profitable company.
Here are some important points for you to take note of
1. Stabilizing revenue growth

Although revenue grew 49% YoY, it is only just 3.2% against the preceding quarter.
2. Profitability in the latest quarter is due to valuation gained from investments

Although Uber broke into profitability in its latest quarter, operationally it's still at a loss. The overall profitability is lifted by its equity investments, in the likes of $Aurora Technology Acquisition Corp.(ATAKU.US)$, $DiDi Global Inc(DIDIY.US)$ $Grab Holdings(GRAB.US)$.

After many quarters of negative cash flow, Uber is finally posting positive cash from operations. Free cash flow is also up to 1.22%.
However, subsequent quarters will play an important role in whether this trend can persist or not!
Do you think Uber is now an attractive company to invest in? Let me know!

  • TRIUMPHANT RETURNS : I just waiting to short all these ride hailing platform since they will b the first to fall once self driving becomes a reality... If the biggest can't make money on transport but rely on investment on the sidelines.

  • Hammer Man : Very helpful, thank you!

  • 71568693 : The assumption (once autonomous driving becomes a reality) is that “a long, long time” will be possible or impossible to achieve. This “wrong” assumption induces retail investors to go short. Uber has previously divested its autonomous driving division, and it wouldn't do that if it had the money.
