All the financial metrics are improving.. pardon my quick n dirty / regard math and analysis but seems Dara K. has Uber’s operational turnaround completely dialed in.

Own it already. Thinking of adding more.

Uber’s TTM show a powerful upward trend, with revenue growing 16.7% to $55.23B and operating income surging 48.6% to $6.70B compared to last year. TTM fcf at $10.1B

Uber's stock has been range bound for a long time and 1Yr down 31%
Expecting an imminent operational breakout.

Shifted from structural cash losses to consistent positive net margins via high-margin advertising layering.

Surpassed a historic milestone of $10B in annual Free Cash Flow.

Bill Ackman is in (not a fan of his investment thesis): Bets that AV operators will rely on Uber's network rather than competing directly.

Targeted workforce cuts and internal developer AI tooling drastically accelerated operating leverage.

Solid liquidity profile boasting a conservative 1.33x leverage ratio and investment-grade coverage.

Waymo is a Threat!
