What this means. The weighted row is the average value after giving more importance to the cases considered more likely, not a separate prediction that is certain to happen.

What has to go right, and what could go wrong for Uber?

The bear case requires operating pressure to persist and capital allocation to weaken. By October 2027, local competition and supply gaps raise incentives while insurance and labor costs rise. By October 2028, Delivery Hero and AV spending consume cash before returns are proven. By October 2029, weaker margins and dilution push the multiple to 10x.

The bull case requires Uber to monetize growth with limited incremental cost. Local matching improves, advertising and Uber One cross-use add profitable activity, and AV partners carry most fleet costs. Buybacks then reduce shares while investors lift the multiple to 24x.

How much cash does Uber really make?

Cash from operations rose from negative $445 million in 2021 to $10,099 million in 2025. After $336 million of capital spending, reported free cash flow was $9,763 million. This is a major change for a platform whose ordinary rides require relatively little capital equipment.

What this means. Stock pay uses shares instead of cash, but it still reduces shareholders’ ownership, so we subtract it from free cash flow.
