Uber Makes The Cut
Portfolio Pulse from Thrash Capital
Uber (NYSE:UBER) has been confirmed to join the S&P 500 on December 18, 2023. The company, which IPO'd at $42/share, faced challenges but became profitable in Q2 2023 after job cuts, increased delivery business profitability, and cost structure improvements. The inclusion in the S&P 500 is seen as a positive development, but the stock remains risky due to ongoing legal battles over driver classification and the lack of dividend payments. Investors are advised to consider these risks and the possibility of a dip post-induction.
