$20 Billion Share Repurchase

Uber announced a new $20 billion share buyback program with second-quarter results. This move reinforces the company's strong free cash flow and investor-friendly capital strategy. CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said in a statement “Uber has great potential to better serve families at every stage of life” stated.

This buyback is interpreted as an indication that the company still has strong growth potential in its core mobility and delivery businesses. Also, share buybacks could support Uber's stock valuation and create an attractive signal for long-term investors.

This feature offers accessibility improvements, such as large fonts, an easy interface, and the ability for family organizers to plan trips on behalf of others. In addition, preferential “woman-woman match” tests have begun for female passengers or drivers in the US.
