10 Hottest Mega-Cap Stocks of 2025

4. Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:UBER)

Uber Technologies, Inc. has had a great start to the year so far. First, it was Goldman Sachs that added the company to its U.S. Conviction List. This is a list of stocks that the bank believes have the highest potential of outperforming the index. Goldman Sachs believes the stock can gain over 50% this year, with a price target of $96.

One of the basis for this conviction is the company’s ability to leverage autonomous vehicles. It signed 5 partnerships last year, including with Google’s Waymo and Avride, the Dutch AI infrastructure player that focuses on AI technologies.

The company has also announced a $1.5 billion accelerated share repurchase agreement, part of a $7 billion share repurchase program. The transaction is expected to be completed in the first quarter, which means the stock has potential for a short term rally. In fact, it is already up 12% so far this year.
