Uber's 12.1% operating margin tops rivals, but investors pay less for it than for JB Hunt

Uber Technologies keeps a larger share of sales as operating profit than four rivals in ride-hailing, delivery and freight. Its operating margin reached 12.1% over the past twelve months, up from a loss equal to 1.6% of sales three years ago. Free cash flow topped $10 billion for the first time. Yet investors pay less per dollar of Uber's earnings than for three peers. Uber trades at 15.2 times earnings, against 32.0 for JB Hunt and 99.7 for DoorDash. Uber stock fell 23.6% over twelve months, while JB Hunt rose 68.4%. Revenue growth slowed to 12.2% in the second quarter of 2026, while gross bookings grew 22%. Management blamed part of the gap on a UK business model change. Uber plans to invest $10 billion in autonomous vehicles. It has not yet sized the effect on profit.

Uber invests in Croatian robotaxi provider Verne, deepens Zagreb partnership

Uber has invested in Croatian robotaxi provider Verne, CEO Dara Khosrowshahi confirmed following a visit to Zagreb where he completed a fully driverless ride. The investment deepens the partnership between the companies, which launched a commercial robotaxi service in Zagreb in April covering approximately 90 square kilometres. Since August, Verne's autonomous vehicles have been bookable through the Uber app. The service currently uses Arcfox Alpha T5 vehicles equipped with Pony.ai's Gen-7 autonomous driving system. Verne is developing its own purpose-built robotaxi—an electric two-seater without steering wheel or pedals, based on Mobileye Drive technology. By end-2025, the company had completed 60 verification prototypes. Verne co-founder Mate Rimac indicated further joint expansion plans beyond Croatia, with negotiations underway for deployments in additional European cities, the UK, and the Middle East.
