Long-time Uber user in Manhattan cancels Uber One membership due to poor customer service, including deceptive AI chatbot practices (disguising bots with human names) and a $50 cancellation fee on a delayed order. Author views company practices as unsustainable and recommends shorting the stock.

Uber is trading 30% below its 52-week high due to robotaxi fears, but the company is positioning itself as the dominant distribution platform for autonomous vehicles through $7.5B in robo taxi commitments and $2.5B in VC investments across 15+ AV companies. Key risks include execution risk on AV integration, competition from Tesla's direct app approach, and regulatory uncertainty around autonomous vehicle deployment.

Author is bullish on $UBER, citing its profitability, global market dominance, and strategic Delivery Hero acquisition expanding into 99 countries and emerging markets, while dismissing recent robotaxi-related sell-off as unwarranted. Key risks include execution on international expansion, competitive pressures in delivery, and potential regulatory challenges in emerging markets.

Uber's COO made a significant $5M insider share purchase at $75.50, suggesting confidence in the company despite a recent 10% workforce reduction. The post expresses bullish sentiment on UBER based on insider buying signal, though layoffs present execution and profitability concerns.

Uber's Q1 earnings reveal a major red flag: despite 25% higher gross bookings and 20% more trips in mobility, revenue was flat year-over-year (0% growth in constant currency), indicating the company is forced to lower prices to compete in a price-sensitive market. This suggests consumer weakness and margin compression in the core mobility business, with growth only coming from the higher-margin delivery segment.

Uber's impressive Q4 2023 earnings beat ($0.66 EPS vs $0.17 expected) was largely driven by $1 billion in unrealized mark-to-market gains on equity holdings (Aurora, Didi, Grab) rather than core business operations ($652M), meaning two-thirds of reported profit came from paper gains. Author argues this unsustainable profit source will cause Uber to significantly miss future earnings when these holdings decline or stabilize in value.

GME is undervalued compared to other overvalued tech companies like Uber and Snap that have massive losses; GME generated $6.5bn revenue in 2020 with near-breakeven losses while trading at only $3.4bn market cap, making it a better fundamental buy than heavily-hyped digital-only companies with bleeding losses.
