<p><strong>Uber</strong> (<a data-yga=NYSE:UBER) runs the largest global ride-hailing and food-delivery marketplace, layered with a fast-scaling advertising business, a 50-million-member Uber One subscription, and a growing role as the connective tissue for third-party robotaxi fleets. Wall Street has spent the last two years treating it as the default winner in mobility. The problem is that the stock has not cooperated.

Since peaking near $101.99 over the past year, shares have slid steadily. The dislocation has grown wide enough that at least one senior analyst says the stock could roughly double from here.

A 30% Slide From the Highs Despite Record Cash Flow

Uber is down more than 30% from its 52-week high, and the damage has accelerated recently. Shares fell 7% in the past week alone and 25.51% over the past year, an unusually violent move for a company generating record free cash flow.

The catalyst is a string of top-line disappointments. Q2 FY2026 revenue of $14.19 billion missed consensus by 0.5%, and EPS of $0.81 came in below the $0.83 estimate. That followed a Q1 miss and a Q4 miss driven by a $1.6 billion equity revaluation headwind. Mobility revenue grew just 1% year over year in Q2, a sharp deceleration that spooked investors even though management attributed most of the pressure to a U.K. business-model change worth roughly 400 basis points of margin optics.
