Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 43% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published March 23, 2026
Uber has clearer ways to grow now, but recent ups-and-downs in how the company reports results mean some caution is warranted. New partnerships to roll out self-driving cars in more cities help the medium-term story and can lift short-term sentiment. Profitability is much improved versus earlier years, though quarterly swings remain possible.
Primary drivers
- New self-driving partnerships widen future growth opportunities
- Large ride and delivery scale supports steady economics
- Price near support makes short-term buying more attractive
- Improved profitability cushions against past swings
How it played out
UBER: the 18% thesis missed
Lyra published UBER at $75.06 with an expected 18% rise to $88.57. The thesis pointed to new self-driving partnerships, the scale of its ride and delivery businesses, a price near support, and improved profitability. It also noted that quarterly results could remain uneven.
Inside the window, UBER peaked at $80.82 on May 7, a 7.7% gain. That stayed below the $88.57 target, so the target was never reached. The shares ended the window at $71.64, below the publication price. The price moved partway toward the target, but the thesis missed.
What happened during the window
On May 6, Uber reported that first-quarter trips grew 20% year over year and gross bookings grew 21% on a constant-currency basis. It also reported $1.9 billion in operating income.
Prices are shown split- and dividend-adjusted, matching what public charts show today.
