#6 - Uber Technologies (NYSE:UBER)
Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE: UBER) is one of the hottest stocks in the last 12 months, posting a stock price gain of over 70%. However, even if you had the foresight to envision what the company would be today when it went public in 2019, the gain in the last 12 months would nearly be identical the stock’s total return in that time.
What started out as a ride-sharing platform has blossomed into a company that offers delivery services. And significantly, the company is generating advertising revenue. That’s a key reason that analysts are forecasting EPS growth of over 119% in the next 12 months.
The company’s business model is unquestionably tied to a demographic that is increasingly comfortable with both the ride sharing and delivery models. A key test of the company’s long-term growth prospects will come when, and if, it becomes a key market for autonomous vehicles. This could be essential to a business model that is under pressure by recent laws that are providing more protection for gig workers.
