Uber Stock Down: What's the Deal with the Price?

Alright, let's get this straight. Uber's stock tanks 8% on a single day? November 20th, 2025, goes down in history as a day Uber investors felt the need to reach for the antacids. And the trading volume? Over two billion dollars changing hands. That's not just a dip; that's a freakin' freefall.

The Good News (Maybe?)

So, the company reported EPS of $3.11 when everyone expected a measly $0.67. Revenue up over 20% year-over-year. Analysts are tripping over themselves to slap "buy" ratings on the stock. Twenty "buy" ratings, zero "sells." It's like a goddamn echo chamber of optimism.

And then reality hits.

The stock still plummeted.

What gives? Are investors just allergic to good news now? Or is there something else lurking under the hood?

Wall Street Zen upgraded Uber to a "buy" on November 8th. Okay, great. MarketBeat.com says "Moderate Buy" with a target of $108.26. Consensus, consensus...it all sounds nice, but I'm not buying it. Not yet.

The Insider Shuffle

Here's where my spidey-sense starts tingling. Insiders have been trading $UBER like it's going out of style. Sixteen sales in the last six months. SIXTEEN. CEO Dara Khosrowshahi alone dumped 450,000 shares for a cool $43 million. Tony West cashed out over $11 million. Jill Hazelbaker, Nikki Krishnamurthy...the list goes on.

Now, I know what the PR spin is gonna be: "Diversification! Estate planning!" Give me a break. They're selling like they know something we don't.

And CFO Prashanth Mahendra-Rajah? He bought five shares for $465. Five! To offset selling 11,000 shares. That's not confidence; that's a pathetic attempt at optics. It's like trying to put out a forest fire with a water pistol.

Offcourse, maybe I'm just being paranoid. Maybe they all just needed new yachts. But the timing stinks. It absolutely stinks.

Speaking of stinking, anyone else notice how airline peanuts have gone downhill? I swear they used to be better. Now they're all stale and tiny. What's up with that? Oh, right, Uber...

Back to the matter at hand: even institutional investors are making moves. Kingstone Capital Partners Texas, LLC dumped all their Uber shares. Wellington Management Group cut their stake by over 60%. Meanwhile, UBS AM loaded up. It's a mixed bag, sure, but the big boys are clearly re-evaluating their positions.

I mean, what do these guys know that we don't?

Congress Cashes In?

Oh, and let's not forget our esteemed members of Congress. They've been playing the $UBER game too. Gil Cisneros bought up to $15,000 worth of shares. Val Hoyle bought and sold. Cleo Fields made multiple purchases. Angus King got in on the action.

It's almost enough to make you think they're profiting from inside information, isn't it? Then again, maybe I'm just too cynical. Nah.

The question is: are they actually informed investors, or are they just following the herd? Or worse, leading it off a cliff?

Something Smells Fishy Here...

Look, Uber's got a solid market cap, a decent PE ratio, and its revenue is growing. But this insider selling frenzy, coupled with a sudden stock drop despite good earnings, doesn't pass the smell test. It's like watching a magician pull a rabbit out of a hat, but you can see the trapdoor. I'm not saying Uber's going to zero, but I am saying I wouldn't touch this stock with a ten-foot pole right now. Something ain't right.
