Uber Technologies Inc. has experienced a significant stock price increase, rising by 17% in a single trading session, which was the largest daily gain since its IPO in May 2019. This surge was triggered by the company reporting its first-ever operating profit, with an operating income of $326 million in the first quarter, compared to a loss in the same period the previous year. Additionally, Uber's revenue grew by 15% year-over-year to $10.13 billion, surpassing Wall Street expectations. The company also announced a $7 billion share buyback program, signaling strong confidence in its future profitability. Despite these positive developments, Uber's stock remains 30% below its IPO price, suggesting potential for further growth. The company's focus on cost-cutting, including layoffs and exiting unprofitable markets, has contributed to its improved financial health. However, challenges remain, such as regulatory issues and competition in the ride-hailing and delivery sectors.
