Hardman Johnston Global Advisors, an investment management company, stated the following regarding Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:UBER) in its “Hardman Johnston Global Equity” Q4 2024 investor letter:

“During the quarter, we initiated three new positions in Lennar Corporation, Bank of America Corp., and Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:UBER). Uber is a leading platform company that facilitates ride-hailing, food delivery, and freight booking services, which each represent large and underpenetrated markets. Uber is active in more than 10,000 cities and approximately 70 countries globally, and Uber is a market leader with more than 65% market share in nearly all ride-sharing regions in which it operates. Uber should continue to benefit from secular tailwinds, product innovation, expansion, and network effects. The cross-selling of the Uber One membership program should drive both loyalty and engagement. International markets represent half the business and continue to be an important growth driver. Overall, we see sustained healthy topline growth for the company over the next three years with some insulation to global economic trends.”
