UBER Shares Down 12% In A Month, But Rising Key Metrics Signal Potential Buying Opportunity

Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE:UBER) has emerged as a significant value play this week, as its Benzinga Edge’s value score skyrocketed from 21.72 to 53.90.

Uber's Price-Value Gap Widens

This dramatic week-on-week percentile leap occurs despite a 9.23% year-to-date decline in share price, suggesting a widening gap between the company's market valuation and its fundamental performance.

The shift follows a record-breaking fiscal fourth quarter characterized by massive gross bookings and robust free cash flow.

While the stock’s momentum score remains low at 20.50 due to recent price corrections, the value score surge highlights a potential underpriced signal for investors.

This valuation metric—which compares market price to earnings and operating performance—is bolstered by Uber's massive cash generation. In 2025, the company generated $9.8 billion in free cash flow, a 42% increase from the previous year, and reached investment-grade status.

UBER maintains a stronger price trend over the short, medium, and long terms, as per Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings.

Gross Bookings Outpace Expectations

The core driver behind Uber’s fundamental strength is its accelerating top line. The company reported Gross Bookings of $54.14 billion, representing a 22% year-over-year increase.

This growth was fueled by a monthly active consumer base that surpassed 200 million users for the first time, completing over 40 million trips daily. This operational scaling resulted in a Benzinga Edge growth ranking of 88.51, placing Uber in the top tier of expansion-oriented stocks.

Strategic Outlook And Leadership Transition

Looking ahead to 2026, CEO Dara Khosrowshahi pointed to a “clear path to becoming the largest facilitator of AV [autonomous vehicle] trips in the world.”

The company is navigating this shift under a leadership transition, with Balaji Krishnamurthy stepping in as new CFO effective Feb. 16.

UBER Underperforms In 2026
