- Since the release of Q3 earnings on November 7, Uber is up 15%.
- Year-to-date, the stock is up 113%
- November has seen a growth of 25%.
From soaring to new heights to plummeting to new lows, the stock has proven just how unpredictable the market can be.
But through it all, Uber is beginning to show resilience and potential for bouncing back.
In February 2021, Uber's stock soared to $64. Unfortunately, this upward trend was short-lived, and by March 2020, the stock had tumbled to a mere $13, a striking deviation from its previous peak.
Numerous factors, such as market conditions and internal obstacles, contributed to this significant decline.
The stock then faced significant challenges from February 2021 to June 2022, experiencing a sharp decline of 68%.
However, amidst this difficult period, the stock found stability at $20, serving as a pivotal psychological support level.
This support prevented further declines and marked the starting point of the stock's subsequent recovery.
In January 2023, the stock surpassed a significant level, the crucial daily 200 simple moving average at $27, a widely respected indicator used by investors to assess a stock's long-term trend.
Overcoming this resistance signaled a potential shift in investor sentiment and overall market perception.
The stock's upward momentum persisted, passing beyond the $40 level in June 2023, 18 months after dropping below this round number.
Nevertheless, in July 2023, the stock faced a formidable obstacle at the psychological $50 level, ultimately retreating to seek support at $40 in October 2023
$40 not only provided support but also propelled the stock towards $50. The stock successfully surpassed $50 on the second attempt, with the Q3 earnings report on November 7th playing a role in this achievement.
Despite earnings slightly falling short of estimates, $0.10 actual earnings vs. $0.11 estimate, the stock ended the day with a nearly 4% gain.
Uber's stock has surged by 15% following the earnings report, indicating a growing optimism among investors.
Year to date, the stock has experienced an impressive 113% increase, with a notable 25% rise in November alone.
With the stock nearing its all-time high of $64, there is great anticipation and speculation regarding its potential to break through this level and establish new records.
If successful, this achievement could signify a long-term bullish trend. However, considering the stock's turbulent history since its public debut, there is still a level of uncertainty
Investors are eagerly awaiting to see if Uber can overcome its past volatility and enter a new era of sustained growth.
After the closing bell on Friday, November 17, the stock closed at $54.44, trading up by 0.04%.
