Uber is finally profitable. So why is the stock still going nowhere?

There is something strange about Uber.

By almost any operational measure, the company looks like it has finally figured out the business it spent a decade trying to build. The platform now serves more than 200 million monthly users globally, processes billions of trips every quarter, and generates nearly $10 billion in annual free cash flow.

Revenue crossed $52 billion in 2025. Adjusted EBITDA reached $8.7 billion. The company that once symbolised Silicon Valley’s most aggressive “growth at any cost” experiment has essentially become one of the most cash-generative consumer platforms in the world.
