• Positive Sentiment: Strong Q4 growth and record engagement: Uber reported revenue up ~20% and record metrics (gross bookings +22% to ~$54B, ~200M monthly users, trips at ~40M/day) and highlighted record free cash flow, which supports buyback capacity and longer‑term value. Uber Announces Results for Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025
• Positive Sentiment: Analyst buy-side support: Multiple firms reaffirmed buys/upgrades (RBC, BTIG, Needham, JPMorgan retained overweight) or upgraded ratings after Q4, providing institutional cover that can cushion downside and prompt dip buying. Analyst coverage mentions (Benzinga aggregate)
• Positive Sentiment: Long-term AV/robotaxi narrative remains intact: Management and the new CFO (Balaji Krishnamurthy) are publicly bullish on robotaxis as a multitrillion‑dollar opportunity, which keeps growth investors engaged despite near‑term noise. Uber appoints new CFO as its AV plans accelerate
• Neutral Sentiment: Market technicals/buy‑zone narrative: Some outlets argue the pullback puts UBER in a “buy zone,” citing institutional accumulation and supportive cash flow trends — a tactical signal rather than a fundamental change.

• Neutral Sentiment: Mixed analyst reactions: Several firms trimmed price targets (Wells, Cantor, Mizuho, Wedbush) but many maintained positive ratings — that narrows near‑term upside expectations while leaving consensus skewed to modest upside. Analyst price target updates (Benzinga aggregate)
• Negative Sentiment: EPS and guidance miss: Q4 adjusted EPS missed estimates (reported $0.71 vs. ~$0.79 consensus) and Q1 EPS guidance ( $0.65–0.72 ) came in below Street expectations — the primary near‑term reason shares have been under pressure. Uber stock down on outlook miss; CEO sees robotaxi rollout as ‘multitrillion-dollar’ opportunity
• Negative Sentiment: Margin headwinds from cheaper rides and taxes: Management said pushing lower fares to grow trips, plus higher taxes/charges, will compress near‑term margins — a structural concern for profit‑focused investors. Uber forecasts profit below estimates as cheaper rides boost trips but hurt margins
• Negative Sentiment: Short‑term stock pressure likely: The EPS/guidance miss triggered near‑term selling and some analysts kept neutral stances (e.g., Wedbush, Benchmark), meaning momentum could stay choppy until guidance or margin trends improve.
