Uber Stock Is Racing Higher Monday: What's Driving The Action?
Portfolio Pulse from Adam Eckert
Uber Technologies Inc (NYSE:UBER) stock is experiencing an increase after being added to the S&P 500 Index, replacing Sealed Air Corp. This inclusion often leads to a rise in stock price as index-tracking funds must purchase shares. Uber's recent financial performance, with $221 million in net income and earnings of 10 cents per share for the last quarter, and over $1 billion in profits over the past four quarters, met the criteria for S&P 500 inclusion. Analysts are favorable towards Uber, with 26 Buy and eight Overweight ratings and an average price target of $57.74. Uber's stock has risen over 145% since the beginning of the year and was trading up 5.58% at $60.56.
