Pershing Square Holdings stated the following regarding Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:UBER) in its second quarter 2025 investor letter:
"Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:UBER) is the world’s leading mobility and delivery platform, operating a capital-light, highly-scalable, and rapidly-growing business. We initiated our investment earlier this year because we believed Uber’s stock price significantly undervalued the company’s earnings power and growth prospects. We believe the stock was mispriced due to misplaced concerns regarding perceived long-term threats from autonomous vehicles (“AVs”).
In recent months Uber has announced a number of partnerships with various technology players, each advancing their own AV technologies. Recent mobility announcements include new and expanded partnerships with Avride, Baidu, Lucid, May Mobility, Momenta, Nuro, Pony.ai, Wayve, WeRide and others. Taken together, Uber is strategically advancing dozens of geographically focused commercial pilots, with a line-of-sight to tens of thousands of autonomous vehicles covering major metropolitan cities operating on Uber’s network within the coming years. In Austin and Atlanta, Uber exclusively launched Waymo’s commercial operations with its strong preliminary utilization data reinforcing Uber’s strong value proposition. Over time, we believe that additional data will further demonstrate that partnering with Uber allows AV players to scale faster than they could on their own while maximizing the unit economics of their vehicles. Furthermore, Uber’s value proposition is even more compelling for the many small potential entrants who lack the resources, capabilities and network density to attempt a standalone rideshare service..."
