Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Strong Buy Rating On Shares Of Uber Technologies, Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We raise our target by $8 to $108, based on 24x our 2027 EPS estimate, below UBER's three-year average of ~30x given regulatory risks and AV competition. We raise our 2026 EPS by $0.10 to $3.41 and 2027's by $0.31 to $4.49. Q1 results came in near expectations, an encouraging result given Q4's EPS underperformance. We like the record segment margins for both Delivery (3.7%) and Mobility (7.7%) along with continued 20%+ gross bookings results for both groups, with Uber One memberships (+50% to 50M) now contributing roughly half of total company bookings and likely to keep growing, supporting sustained momentum. We are also encouraged by management's continued commitment to a capital-light AV strategy and intention to loop in more third-party financing partners over time (highlighted by yesterday's EUR1 billion agreement with Santander in Europe), which we think provides compelling upside (higher margins and uptime) with limited risk. Uber's AV Mobility trips rose by more than 10x Y/Y, which we find impressive.

Lucid Shares to Remain Under Pressure Until New CEO Reviews Outlook, Morgan Stanley Says

Lucid (LCID) shares are expected to remain under pressure until incoming Chief Executive Officer Silvio Napoli has had time to evaluate the business and its outlook, Morgan Stanley said in a note Wednesday.The company suspended its delivery and capex guidance for the year after a "challenging" Q1, with management reporting $781 million adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization loss, according to the note.Morgan Stanley said it expects the losses to remain elevated until the planned 2027 launch of a midsize vehicle. To fund its losses, Lucid has announced a total of $1.05 billion capital raise from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, Uber (UBER), and a registered public offering, among others, the investment firm said.Morgan Stanley lowered its 2026 EBITDA estimate by 15%, reflecting lower gross margins given recent underperformance as well as higher operating expenses on account of recent workforce reduction charges. The firm also said it continues to expect 26,000 deliveries versus consensus of 25,000 for the year.Morgan Stanley cut its price target on the stock to $5 from $10, while maintaining its underweight rating.Price: $5.90, Change: $-0.35, Percent Change: -5.65%

The FactSet-polled consensus indicates $0.79.The company's first-quarter adjusted EPS rose to $0.72 from $0.50 a year earlier, compared with the Street's $0.69 estimate.

Research Alert: Uber: Q1 Results Near Consensus; Uber One Growth Provides Continued Upside

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Uber posted Q1 revenue of $13.20B (+14% Y/Y), just below consensus $13.26B, while non-GAAP EPS of $0.72 was also near expectations ($0.71), representing an improvement from the prior quarter's 12% EPS miss. We view these near-consensus results positively given record operating margins achieved for both Mobility (7.7%) and Delivery (3.7%), demonstrating impressive operational leverage despite bookings growth headwinds of 60-80 bps associated with severe weather and the Middle East conflict. Gross Bookings grew 25% (21% ex-FX), exceeding 21% for the third consecutive quarter as core business momentum remains strong. For Q2, management expects Gross Bookings growth of ~20% ex-FX with an EPS midpoint of $0.80 (vs. consensus $0.81). Platform engagement metrics show slight deceleration, with MAPCs at 199M (+17% vs. +22%) and Uber One membership reaching 50M (+50% Y/Y vs. +55%). Uber AV trips are now available in eight cities, with 15 cities still planned by end-2026. AV Mobility trips were up over 10x Y/Y in Q1.
