Uber’s Stock Journey: A Five-Year Retrospective
Uber (UBER -0.48%) has become a household name, but its stock performance has been a rollercoaster since its IPO six years ago. The shares plummeted 18% in 2021 and another 41% in 2022, but recent years have painted a brighter picture. A $10,000 investment five years ago WOULD now be worth $27,400, reflecting a 174% surge despite the stock trading 7% below its July peak.
The pandemic initially decimated Uber's mobility business, but delivery operations filled the gap. Gross bookings hit $46.8 billion in Q2 2025, up 359% from five years prior. User growth and operational efficiency have driven revenue and income to record highs, rewarding patient investors.
