Another interesting Uber article, but not directly related to their share price, not for now at least.

https://jalopnik.com/the-legal-argument ... 1838255672

Basically to win the 'surge pricing' anti trust case in New York, Uber are going to have to show the court they aren't just an app.

However to win the case in California, and a few other places to boot, they are going to have to show the court they are just an app. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D



they always seem to win through though

Oh and the share price hasn't collapsed :wink:

It was down a further 5% yesterday.

But I suppose a 25-30% drop since IPO isn't a collapse, although if the stock market dropped that much in 5 months there would be people jumping out of windows.

However when one considers this time last year we were being fed values of $120 Billion, yet today the value is about 72% lower than that, then IMO that is a collapse.

the market has produced a more realistic valuation

I'm not sure the market has the foggiest idea of the actual value of Uber.

I suspect many have sold, and not many have bought shares since the IPO.

It will never make money.

Some more interesting Uber stats, well at least for me. :D

Basically despite an increase in Uber taxi/PH revenue in the last 5 quarters ($10.2 - $12.2 billion), the actual net amount Uber received remains much the same.

https://dashboards.trefis.com/no-login- ... efis190926

Reason for this is the actual take Uber receive from each job has declined from 22% to 19%.

Forbes Magazine suggest the reason is due to competition for drivers, and for punters.

Well long may that continue, well for drivers at least. :D

The drivers pay 25%, although it's a bit lower for WAV requests.

But we have to bear in mind the price the punter pays often bears little resemblance to the price the driver receives.

So the driver pays 25% on one amount, but that amount is not the price the punters pays. Hence the reason why Uber lose money on most jobs.

Closed this week at $30.29, having slightly recovered today from an all time low of $30.13.

Down 32.69% since IPO.

Or in plain cash terms, down a cent or two over $25 Billion. Image

Interesting that that was from two years ago, and since then Uber has lost, approx, another $12 billion or so.

Closed last night at $29.15, an all time low closing. Slightly up on the $28.65 it fell to during the day. :D

Down 35.22% since IPO.

Or in real cash terms just under $27 billion. :D
