Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:UBER) is one of the best long term growth stocks to buy according to hedge funds. On January 9, Mizuho Securities reaffirmed a Buy rating on Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:UBER) with a price target of $130. However, Cantor Fitzgerald cut the price target on the stock to $99 from $108 on January 8 and maintained an Overweight rating on the shares, telling investors that the outlook for the Global Internet stocks into 2026 is increasingly positive despite lingering macro concerns.
This, according to the firm, is supported by AI entering a “Synergy” phase expected to drive improved value capture, accelerating revenue growth, and clearer long-term returns on capex. Cantor added that the group is well positioned to outperform in 2026 in a backdrop featuring improving sentiment and positive estimate revisions, with valuations still around 20% below medium-term ranges despite 2025 outperformance.
In another development, Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:UBER) received rating updates from Jefferies and BofA on January 6. Both maintained a Buy rating on the stock, with Jefferies maintaining a $120 price target and BofA reiterating a price target of $119.

These rating updates came the same day Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:UBER), along with Lucid Group, Inc. and Nuro, Inc., revealed on January 5 the production intent vehicles to be used in their global robotaxi service. They introduced for the first time the Uber-designed in-cabin rider experience at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2026, and also announced that autonomous on-road testing began last month. This marked a notable milestone in the development and validation of the robotaxi service ahead of its anticipated launch in the San Francisco Bay Area later this year.
