CEO Dara Khosrowshahi commented:

2019 was a transformational year for Uber and I’m gratified by our progress, steadily delivering against the commitments we’ve made to our shareholders on our path to profitability. We recognize that the era of growth at all costs is over. In a world where investors increasingly demand not just growth, but profitable growth, we are well-positioned to win through continuous innovation, excellent execution, and the unrivaled scale of our global platform.

Shares of Uber closed Thursday at $37.16, in a post-IPO range of $25.58 to $47.08. The consensus price target is $45.08. Following the announcement, the stock is initially up less than 1% at $37.50 in the after-hours session.
