Uber Technologies Price Target Raised on Strong Gross Bookings Growth Confidence, UBS Says

Uber Technologies’ (UBER) price target has been raised to $94 from $87 due to confidence in the ride-hailing firm’s sustained growth of gross bookings, especially in mobility and delivery, UBS said in a note Thursday. “We increase our [gross bookings] estimate by 2% for 2024 & 2025, while also raising our Adj.
