A Pullback Disconnected From Fundamentals

Uber’s stock peaked near $97.83 in September 2025 before falling sharply through year-end, hitting $70.53 in February 2026. The year-to-date decline of 11.6% contrasts with a business that delivered $52.01 billion in full-year 2025 revenue, up 18.3% year-over-year.

Q4 2025 results showed $14.366 billion in revenue, up 20.1% year-over-year and a record $2.80 billion in free cash flow, up 65% year-over-year. The headline EPS miss of 8.83% was distorted by a $1.6 billion equity investment revaluation headwind, a non-cash item. Operating income expanded 130.39% year-over-year in Q4. The business is accelerating while the stock has lagged.

The Case for $137 and Beyond

The bull case rests on AV monetization, delivery margin expansion, and aggressive buybacks. CEO Dara Khosrowshahi stated on the fourth quarter earnings call that “AVs will unlock a multitrillion-dollar opportunity for Uber,” and the company expects to be in 15 cities by year-end 2026.

The Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) partnership, involving a $1.25 billion investment for 50,000 robotaxis, adds tangible scale. Delivery Adjusted EBITDA grew 40% year-over-year in Q4 2025, and management raised its advertising penetration ceiling above the prior 2% estimate.

With 47 buy or strong-buy ratings against just 1 sell, analyst consensus firmly supports the bull case. The bull scenario targets $137.03; the five-year bull case reaches $314.78.

What Could Go Wrong

The bear case centers on competitive disruption and balance sheet creep. Long-term debt rose from $8.34 billion to $10.52 billion year-over-year, and insurance reserves climbed from $2.75 billion to $3.38 billion. The Freight segment posted zero growth in quarter.

The bear scenario produces a price of $103.76. The debt increase coincides with AV infrastructure commitments and the $20 billion share repurchase authorization announced in Q2 2025. The company generated $9.76 billion in free cash flow in 2025, providing ample coverage, and earnings volatility reflects non-cash equity revaluations rather than operational deterioration.

The Margin of Safety at Current Prices

The 24/7 Wall St. price target of $123.73 reflects a business growing revenue at 20% annually, generating nearly $10 billion in free cash flow, and positioned as the dominant distribution layer for autonomous vehicles. At 15x trailing earnings, the stock is priced for far less.

The valuation gap narrows if AV deployments in new cities proceed on schedule and Q1 2026 gross bookings land within the $52 billion to $53.5 billion guidance range. The key risks to monitor: worker classification legislation that materially raises driver costs, or AV partnership terms that shift economics against Uber’s take rate.

Year 24/7 Wall St. Price Target
2026 $123.73
2027 $155.00
2028 $192.00
2029 $245.00
2030 $312.38

These projections assume Uber continues expanding its AV partner network and delivery margins improve toward management’s long-term targets. Faster-than-expected AV commercialization represents the primary upside catalyst; regulatory action on worker classification or weakening global rideshare demand are the key downside risks.
