UBER
Uber just got the Cramer stamp of approval
Jim Cramer hopped on CNBC and basically said the quiet part out loud: he likes Uber, and he’s not backing away from it. In his world, that’s the kind of headline that can keep a name like UBER floating around investor chats for a while — especially when the stock market still loves a good growth story with a side of robotics.
Why this matters
Uber isn’t just trying to be the app you tap when you’ve had one too many tacos. It’s pushing deeper into the future-of-mobility playbook:
- A partnership with Zipline to expand autonomous food delivery through Uber Eats
- A robotaxi push that includes Japan later this year
- An operational partnership in Tokyo with Hinomaru Kotsu to help run the autonomous fleet
- A plan to deploy more than 2,000 Pony AI robotaxis across multiple European markets
That’s a lot of moving parts for one company, which is either exciting or a little chaotic, depending on your caffeine intake.
What investors are watching
The market’s main question is pretty simple: can Uber turn all this sci-fi-adjacent ambition into actual, durable profits? The company is trying to evolve from “request a ride” into “own the logistics layer of your life.” If it works, that’s a much bigger pie. If it doesn’t, well, you get a lot of flashy announcements and not much margin expansion.
Big picture: this wasn’t a formal analyst upgrade, but a public bullish call from a high-profile market personality can still keep Uber on the radar — and sometimes that’s half the battle.
