<p>UK shares have performed well recently. However, investors shouldn’t overlook international shares – in markets such as the US and Europe there are some really attractive opportunities today.</p>



<p>One international stock that I believe is worth a look is <strong>Uber</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.co.uk/tickers/nyse-uber/">NYSE: UBER</a>), which is listed in the US. Here are three reasons I’m bullish on this name.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-top-and-bottom-line-growth">Top- and bottom-line growth</h2>



<p>Thanks to its powerful brand and massive global user base (200m users worldwide), Uber has grown at an impressive rate recently. Over the last three years, its revenue has climbed from $31.9bn to $52bn (annualised growth of 18%).</p>



<p>This isn’t just a top-line growth story, however. Today, Uber is very profitable and generating a ton of cash flow.</p>



<p>Note that with this cash flow, the company is <a href="https://www.fool.co.uk/investing-basics/understanding-the-market/share-buybacks/">buying back</a> a lot of shares. This should turbo-charge its earnings per share growth going forward.</p>


<div class="tmf-chart-singleseries" data-title="Uber Technologies Price" data-ticker="NYSE:UBER" data-range="5y" data-start-date="" data-end-date="" data-comparison-value=""></div>




<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-a-major-player-in-the-robotaxi-space">A major player in the robotaxi space</h2>



<p>Looking ahead, the growth runway here has plenty of room to run. One key growth driver could be robotaxis.</p>



<p>Earlier this week, <strong>Nvidia</strong> – which has a partnership with the rideshare company – announced that Uber will launch a global fleet of Nvidia-powered autonomous vehicles, starting in Los Angeles and San Francisco in the first half of 2027 and scaling across 28 cities globally by 2028. This will be supported by the growing roster of Nvidia’s automotive partners (which includes the likes of Nissan, Hyundai, and Mercedes-Benz).</p>



<p>This partnership is a big deal. It could help the company become the ‘operating system’ for the global robotaxi industry and beat competitors such as Waymo and <strong>Tesla</strong>.</p>



<p>It’s worth noting that Uber has robotaxi partnerships with many other companies. Earlier this month, it announced a strategic partnership with <strong>Amazon</strong>-owned robotaxi company Zoox.</p>



<p>Via this partnership, Zoox taxis will be available on the Uber app, starting in Las Vegas this summer. Other companies it has partnered with include <strong>Lucid</strong>, Waymo, and UK-based Wayve.</p>



<p>I’ll point out that we don’t know exactly how robotaxis will affect Uber’s financials. But with no human drivers, there’s potential for dramatically lower costs (and higher profits).</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-attractive-valuation">Attractive valuation</h2>



<p>In terms of the valuation, it’s very reasonable today. After a significant pullback in the share price recently, the stock is now trading on a forward-looking <a href="https://www.fool.co.uk/investing-basics/how-to-value-shares/pe-ratio/">price-to-earnings</a> (P/E) ratio of 23, falling to 18 using next year’s earnings forecast.</p>



<p>These are not high multiples. Considering the long-term growth potential here, the stock looks cheap, in my view.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-worth-a-look-near-75">Worth a look near $75</h2>



<p>Of course, while there are many reasons to be bullish here, there are also risks. Competition from the likes of Tesla and Waymo is one to think about.</p>



<p>A drop in consumer spending is another. This could come about if AI leads to mass job losses.</p>



<p>All things considered though, I see a lot of appeal in the stock at current levels (near $75). In my view, it’s worth considering for an ISA or SIPP.</p>

<p>In recent weeks, some of my favourite stocks including <strong>Amazon</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.co.uk/tickers/nasdaq-amzn/">NASDAQ: AMZN</a>) and <strong>Uber</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.co.uk/tickers/nyse-uber/">NYSE: UBER</a>) have taken big hits. Currently, these two names are trading between 10% and 25% below their recent highs.</p>



<p>Should I capitalise on the share price weakness and buy more stock for my portfolio? Let’s discuss.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-amazon-has-many-ways-to-win">Amazon has many ways to win</h2>



<p>Amazon had a relatively strong run into its Q4 earnings. However, it then got hit after the company announced in its earnings that it plans to spend a whopping $200bn on AI and data centres this year.</p>



<p>That’s a huge amount of money. And it has clearly spooked a lot of investors.</p>


<div class="tmf-chart-singleseries" data-title="Amazon Price" data-ticker="NASDAQ:AMZN" data-range="5y" data-start-date="" data-end-date="" data-comparison-value=""></div>




<p>Now obviously, this kind of capital outlay adds risk to the investment case because return on investment is unclear at this stage. However, I’m inclined to see the share price dip as a buying opportunity.</p>



<p>Ultimately, this company continues to have many different ways to win. Not only is it a global leader in cloud computing and e-commerce, but it’s also doing amazing things in digital advertising, chips, robotics, and low earth orbit satellites.</p>



<p>Note that looking beyond the $200bn capex shock, performance in Q4 was actually very strong. Sales were up 14% year on year with cloud <a href="https://www.fool.co.uk/investing-basics/investment-glossary/what-is-revenue/">revenues</a> growing 24%.</p>



<p>Notably, revenue from its AI chips grew by a triple-digit percentage year on year. Annualised revenue here is now over $10bn.</p>



<p>Given this momentum, I’ll be looking to buy some more shares in the weeks ahead, assuming the share price stays around $200 to $210. Taking a <a href="https://www.fool.co.uk/investing-basics/getting-started-in-investing/foolish-investing-taking-the-long-term-approach/">long-term view</a>, I think that move should pay off.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-uber-still-has-tons-of-potential">Uber still has tons of potential</h2>



<p>Turning to Uber, it has fallen from around $100 to $75 recently (a decline of 25%). One reason for this is that companies like <strong>Tesla</strong> and <strong>Alphabet </strong>have been making a lot of self-driving taxi announcements.</p>


<div class="tmf-chart-singleseries" data-title="Uber Technologies Price" data-ticker="NYSE:UBER" data-range="5y" data-start-date="" data-end-date="" data-comparison-value=""></div>




<p>Personally, I don’t see the share price weakness as justified. Because Uber has partnerships with a ton of different autonomous vehicle (AV) companies.</p>



<p>In the long run, I expect it to be the dominant platform for mobility. With so many different partnerships, it should be able to offer consumers the best service.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p><em>“We enter 2026 with a rapidly growing topline, significant cash flow, and a clear path to becoming the largest facilitator of AV trips in the world.”</em><br>Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi</p>
</blockquote>



<p>Looking at Uber’s Q4 earnings, business performance is strong right now. For the period, revenue was up 20% to $14.4bn thanks to a 22% increase in the number of trips on its platform (3.8bn).</p>



<p>Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.9bn. Meanwhile, free cash flow was $2.8bn.</p>



<p>Of course, there’s no guarantee that this strong performance will continue. A drop in consumer spending could hurt Uber’s growth.</p>



<p>With the stock now trading on a forward-looking price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of only 22, however, I see a lot of appeal. I’ll be looking to buy more shares in the weeks ahead.</p>

<p><strong>Uber Technologies</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.co.uk/tickers/nyse-uber/">NYSE:UBER</a>) stock has generated solid returns since joining the <strong>S&amp;P 500</strong> in December 2023. It has jumped around 50%, edging ahead of the index’s already strong performance. </p>



<p>However, Uber was flying even higher until recently, with its share price nudging above $100. Now it&#8217;s back down at $85, I think it&#8217;s worth considering as a buying opportunity. Here&#8217;s why.</p>


<div class="tmf-chart-singleseries" data-title="Uber Technologies Price" data-ticker="NYSE:UBER" data-range="5y" data-start-date="2021-01-07" data-end-date="2026-01-07" data-comparison-value=""></div>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-still-growing-strongly">Still growing strongly </h2>



<p>A global leader in rideshare and delivery, Uber likely needs no introduction. It essentially facilitates the movement of people, food, parcels, and freight from point A to B.</p>



<p>Its strong brand powers a potent network effect (more riders attract more drivers, and vice versa). </p>



<p>Of course, Uber is hardly a new kid on the block nowadays, so investors may be wondering just how much growth is left in the tank here.</p>



<p>Well, the firm ended Q3 with 189m monthly active users on its platform, which was 17% more than the year before. And it carried out a mind-boggling 3.5bn trips globally over that 13-week period (up 4%). </p>



<p>Meanwhile, revenue growth clocked in at 20% ($13.5bn), while adjusted <a href="https://www.fool.co.uk/investing-basics/how-to-value-shares/what-is-ebitda/">EBITDA</a> grew 33% to $2.3bn. Free <a href="https://www.fool.co.uk/investing-basics/understanding-company-accounts/the-cash-flow-statement/">cash flow</a> was a healthy $2.2bn. </p>



<p>For Q4, which Uber will report in early February, management anticipates gross bookings growth of 17%-21%, as well as adjusted EBITDA growth of 31%-36%. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-low-penetration-rates">Low penetration rates</h2>



<p>These numbers tell us that Uber&#8217;s growth engine is humming along nicely. And management sees that continuing for the next couple of years (at least), with annualised bookings growth in the mid-to-high teens percentage range, along with 35%-40% adjusted EBITDA growth. </p>



<p>Another thing worth noting is that the number of adults using Uber in its top 10 countries is around 15%, according to management. In the other 60+ countries, the penetration rate is still often much lower.&nbsp;</p>



<p>In other words, Uber still has a long runway of potential growth left across most of its markets, including mature ones. I can easily imagine a future where it captures 20%, say, or even higher. </p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p><em>We see profitability growing faster than our top line for years to come.</em> <br>Uber CFO Prashanth Mahendra-Rajah</p>
</blockquote>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-robotaxi-risk-or-opportunity">Robotaxi risk or opportunity?</h2>



<p>The main long-term threat hanging over Uber is robotaxis from <strong>Tesla</strong> and Google&#8217;s Waymo. This could result in consumers booking autonomous vehicle (AV) rides directly on these firms&#8217; apps rather than Uber&#8217;s. This risk shouldn&#8217;t be ignored.</p>



<p>However, Tesla and Waymo aren&#8217;t the only AV firms around. Far from it. The UK&#8217;s Wayve has a similar AI-based approach to Tesla, while <strong>WeRide</strong> has already launched robotaxis with Uber in Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, and Dubai.</p>



<p>By the end of 2026, there will be at least 10 cities where robotaxis can be booked on Uber, and it’s working with 20+ AV partners. These include China&#8217;s <strong>Baidu</strong> and <strong>Pony.ai</strong>, as well as Waymo in three US cities. </p>



<p>My view is that most robotaxi rides will eventually be booked on Uber, where massive customer demand already exists. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-not-overvalued">Not overvalued </h2>



<p>I already have a chunky Uber position that I built up last year. So I&#8217;m not looking to buy more shares (at least not yet). </p>



<p>But at $85, the stock&#8217;s forward&nbsp;price-to-earnings multiple for 2027 is around 19. At this price, I see plenty of value, and reckon it deserves a place on investors&#8217; radar.</p>

<p>I have lots of stocks in my ISA and Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) that I consider to be ‘no-brainers’. From online shopping giant <strong>Amazon</strong> to payments powerhouse <strong>Visa</strong>, there are plenty of world-class companies with significant long-term growth potential in my portfolio.</p>



<p>As for the biggest no-brainer, I reckon it’s rideshare and food delivery champion <strong>Uber</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.co.uk/tickers/nyse-uber/">NYSE: UBER</a>). Here’s why.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-compelling-investment-case-for-uber">The compelling investment case for Uber</h2>



<p>One reason I categorise Uber thus is that the company’s name&#8217;s a verb. That’s a powerful competitive advantage.</p>



<p>Because it means the company&#8217;s always at the forefront of consumers’ minds. When I arrive at an international airport and need a ride to my accommodation, for example, I always look to ‘Uber’ it.</p>



<p>Another is that the company has a near-monopoly in many major markets. In London, for instance, there are no other rideshare companies that come close to Uber in terms of market share (I can’t remember the last time I used Bolt!).</p>



<p>Another key part to the investment thesis here is that Uber&#8217;s very scalable. It’s continually expanding into new cities, getting bigger and bigger all the time.</p>



<p>It’s also continually offering new services. Some examples here include Uber Courier in London, Uber Shuttle (local shuttle services) in several US cities, and Uber Caregiver (this lets caregivers book rides for care recipients).</p>



<p>Of course, it’s also partnering with a ton of autonomous driving companies to offer self-driving taxis. Recently, I used the Uber app to grab a ride in one of Google’s self-driving Waymo taxis in the US.</p>



<p>Finally, its financials look great. Revenue&#8217;s growing by around 15%-20% a year while profits are expanding at a healthy rate too.</p>



<p>The company&#8217;s also buying back a ton of its own shares (it announced a $20bn <a href="https://www.fool.co.uk/investing-basics/understanding-the-market/share-buybacks/">buyback</a> in August). This is boosting earnings per share (EPS).</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-attractive-valuation">Attractive valuation</h2>



<p>Now, with so much going for it, you’d expect Uber to have a sky-high valuation. But right now, it doesn’t. For the current year, analysts expect the company to generate EPS of $5.24. That puts the stock on a <a href="https://www.fool.co.uk/investing-basics/how-to-value-shares/pe-ratio/">price-to-earnings</a> (P/E) ratio of just 17.4.</p>



<p>At that earnings multiple, I see a lot of value. I’ll point out however, that earnings this year have been boosted by a $4.9bn tax valuation release. So earnings next year are likely to be lower.</p>


<div class="tmf-chart-singleseries" data-title="Uber Technologies Price" data-ticker="NYSE:UBER" data-range="5y" data-start-date="" data-end-date="" data-comparison-value=""></div>




<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-worth-a-look-below-100">Worth a look below $100 </h2>



<p>Of course, there are risks to consider with this stock. One is competition from <strong>Tesla</strong>’s robotaxis. Personally, I don’t see this as a major threat given Uber’s self-driving partnerships, but some investors do.</p>



<p>Another is regulatory interference. This could potentially lead to fines that hit profits.</p>



<p>It’s also worth pointing out that recently the stock has struggled to break clear of the $100 mark. Right now, this area&#8217;s acting as ‘resistance’ for the share price.</p>



<p>I think it’s only a matter of time until it hurdles this barrier (and keeps rising). So I think it’s worth considering today.</p>



<p>It’s not the only stock I like at the moment though.</p>

<p>The <strong>S&amp;P 500</strong> is full of world-class companies that have been brilliant long-term investments. In this index, it’s not hard to find companies that have returned 20% or more per year for investors over the last decade.</p>



<p>Here, I’m going to highlight two high-quality S&amp;P 500 companies I’ve been building positions in recently and plan to hold for the long term. These stocks have been excellent investments lately and I’m backing them to boost my retirement portfolio significantly over the next decade.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-a-global-transportation-powerhouse">A global transportation powerhouse</h2>



<p>First up, we have <strong>Uber</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.co.uk/tickers/nyse-uber/">NYSE: UBER</a>). It’s the world’s largest rideshare and food delivery company.</p>



<p>I see a lot of growth potential here as this is a very scalable business. Over the next decade, I expect Uber to get much bigger as it launches in new cities and offers new services (today it offers all kinds of services including courier services and plane/train/boat bookings).</p>



<p>Note that year-on-year revenue growth for the third quarter of 2025 was 20%. So, the company is growing at a rapid clip today.</p>



<p>One thing that excites me here is the potential for self-driving taxis. Currently, Uber has partnerships with over 10 autonomous driving companies and last month, it launched a partnership with <strong>Nvidia</strong> to accelerate the development of autonomous taxis.</p>



<div class="tmf-chart-singleseries" data-title="Uber Technologies Price" data-ticker="NYSE:UBER" data-range="5y" data-start-date="" data-end-date="" data-comparison-value=""></div>




<p>Now, some people believe that <strong>Tesla</strong>, and its self-driving tech, is a risk here. I’m not convinced it is though as I reckon there’s room for lots of companies in this space.</p>



<p>I think a bigger threat is AI-related job losses and the impact on consumer spending. If a ton of people lose their jobs in the years ahead, the travel industry is likely to be impacted so this is an issue I’ll be monitoring.</p>



<p>Right now, however, the outlook is attractive in my view. Trading on a forward-looking <a href="https://www.fool.co.uk/investing-basics/how-to-value-shares/pe-ratio/">price-to-earnings</a> (P/E) of around 25, I think this stock is worth a closer look.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-a-top-player-in-cybersecurity">A top player in cybersecurity</h2>



<p>The other stock I want to highlight is <strong>CrowdStrike</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.co.uk/tickers/nasdaq-crwd/">NASDAQ: CRWD</a>). It’s generally regarded as the industry leader in the cybersecurity space.</p>



<p>Over the next decade, I expect the cybersecurity industry to grow dramatically. Today, no business can afford to take this area of technology lightly – the risks are simply too high (like going out of business).</p>



<p>I see CrowdStrike as well positioned to benefit from the industry growth. It offers a comprehensive, cloud-native platform known as Falcon, which is designed to provide powerful protection to businesses.</p>



<p>It’s worth noting that like Uber, CrowdStrike just launched a partnership with Nvidia. Together the companies will be working to develop always-on AI agents for cybersecurity that can protect data centres.</p>



<div class="tmf-chart-singleseries" data-title="CrowdStrike Price" data-ticker="NASDAQ:CRWD" data-range="5y" data-start-date="" data-end-date="" data-comparison-value=""></div>




<p>This stock has always been expensive (its P/E ratio is about 150 today). But that hasn’t stopped it delivering brilliant returns over the <a href="https://www.fool.co.uk/investing-basics/getting-started-in-investing/foolish-investing-taking-the-long-term-approach/">long term</a>.</p>



<p>Over the last year, it’s up about 80%. Over the last five, it’s up about 285% (with lots of volatility along the way).</p>



<p>The thing is, the company is still pretty small today (relative to other US tech companies). Currently, its market cap is only around $140bn.</p>



<p>I think it can get much bigger and is worth considering as a long-term investment. Competition from rivals and operational setbacks are risks, but over the next five-to-10 years, I think this stock will do well.</p>

                                                                                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>My investment strategy within my Stocks and Shares ISA is mainly centred on capturing some of the major structural trends shaping the global economy. One massive shift I’m bullish on over the next two decades is the rise of autonomous vehicles and robotaxis. </p>



<p>Today, most people in the UK still think the idea of cars driving themselves sounds more like sci-fi than reality. But this technology is already well-established in a handful of large US cities, where more than 10m robotaxi rides have now taken place.   </p>



<p>Earlier this week, it was announced that Waymo will be bringing its fully autonomous taxi service to London’s roads in 2026. According to the firm’s data, human drivers are 12 times more likely to be involved in injury-causing accidents with pedestrians than its own robotaxis (which don’t get distracted by phones, passengers, tiredness, etc). </p>



<p>Here are two <strong><a href="https://www.fool.co.uk/investing-basics/how-to-invest-in-shares/how-to-invest-in-sp-500-uk/">S&amp;P 500</a></strong> shares that offer a chance to invest in this space. I think both are worth considering.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-alphabet">Alphabet </h2>



<p>Waymo is part of <strong>Alphabet</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.co.uk/tickers/nasdaq-goog/">NASDAQ:GOOG</a>), the tech conglomerate that also owns Google and YouTube. Therefore, investors would only be getting indirect exposure here because Waymo today is still only a small part of the overall holding company.</p>



<p>However, it&#8217;s a growing part, because Waymo has now driven over 100m fully autonomous miles on public roads in five US cities (Phoenix, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Austin, and Atlanta). It&#8217;s expanding to Washington and Miami in 2026.</p>



<p>As such, Waymo already calls itself the &#8220;<em>world&#8217;s most experienced driver</em>&#8220;. And it&#8217;s still very early days.</p>


<div class="tmf-chart-singleseries" data-title="Alphabet Price" data-ticker="NASDAQ:GOOG" data-range="5y" data-start-date="2020-10-19" data-end-date="2025-10-19" data-comparison-value=""></div>



<p>Now, because Waymo is not a standalone public company, its figures aren&#8217;t reported independently. They’re bundled into Alphabet’s ‘Other Bets’ segment. In Q2, this generated $373m in revenue, up slightly year on year, but the <a href="https://www.fool.co.uk/investing-basics/understanding-company-accounts/the-profit-and-loss-account/">operating loss</a> was a hefty $1.25bn. </p>



<p>Safe to say, Waymo is burning through a lot of cash and isn’t going to be profitable for many years. But Alphabet generates mountains of cash, even though Google search is facing potential challenges from the rise of ChatGPT.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-emerging-av-platform">Emerging AV platform  </h2>



<p>The next stock is <strong>Uber</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.co.uk/tickers/nyse-uber/">NYSE:UBER</a>). At first glance, the rise of AVs might seem a direct threat. After all, if consumers can just book a robotaxi from Waymo, Uber&#8217;s platform could slowly become less relevant.</p>



<p>However, the company has partnered with over a dozen AV firms, including Wayve in the UK, <strong>WeRide</strong>, Momenta and <strong>Baidu</strong>’s Apollo Go in Asia, and May Mobility, <strong>Lucid</strong>, and Nuro in the US. Waymos are also booked through Uber in Atlanta and Austin.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The aim appears to be to make AVs almost commoditised, while keeping its platform as the place where people go to book taxis (robo or otherwise). If driverless taxis prove cheaper, this could eventually drive more bookings/activity on Uber&#8217;s app.</p>


<div class="tmf-chart-singleseries" data-title="Uber Technologies Price" data-ticker="NYSE:UBER" data-range="5y" data-start-date="2020-10-19" data-end-date="2025-10-19" data-comparison-value=""></div>



<p>The elephant in the room here &#8212; for both Waymo and Uber &#8212; is <strong>Tesla</strong>. It&#8217;s piloting a different AI-based self-driving technology, which if successful could be far more scalable. Tesla&#8217;s robotaxis could outcompete Waymo on pricing, while ignoring Uber as a partner altogether. </p>



<p>The reason I haven&#8217;t included Tesla in this two-stock selection is due to valuation. Right now, the shares are trading at a sky-high 172 times forward earnings. </p>



<p>For Uber and Alphabet, this figure is in the mid-20s, thereby offering growth at a much more reasonable price. </p>

<p>One thing I do every quarter as part of my investment research is dive into the 13F filings of top British fund managers. These reveal the US stocks that the managers bought and sold in the previous quarter. Last week, I spent some time looking at the filings of Terry Smith, Nick Train, and Stephen Yiu to see where these highly-regarded managers deployed their capital in Q2. Here’s a look at three <strong>S&amp;P 500</strong> stocks the managers snapped up.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-terry-smith">Terry Smith</h2>



<p>Terry Smith – the manager of <strong>Fundsmith Equity</strong> – didn’t do a lot of trading in Q2. However, he did buy stock in accounting and tax software company <strong>Intuit</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.co.uk/tickers/nasdaq-intu/">NASDAQ: INTU</a>).</p>



<p>He’s owned this stock in the past but sold it a few years ago because of its valuation. The fact that he bought it back in Q2 suggests that he saw the valuation as more attractive.</p>



<p>Now, this stock had a volatile Q2. So, Smith may have paid a much lower price than the current share price of $660.</p>



<p>I still believe it’s worth considering at current levels, however. Recent Q4 earnings were good (revenue was up 20%) and the valuation (the <a href="https://www.fool.co.uk/investing-basics/how-to-value-shares/pe-ratio/">price-to-earnings</a> (P/E) ratio is about 29) isn’t excessive for a software company with a wide moat, recurring revenues, and a high level of profitability.</p>



<p>It’s worth pointing out that some investors see AI as a threat to Intuit. It’s hard to know how the AI story will play out though, and I think this company is likely to roll out plenty of AI features itself.</p>


<div class="tmf-chart-singleseries" data-title="Intuit Price" data-ticker="NASDAQ:INTU" data-range="5y" data-start-date="" data-end-date="" data-comparison-value=""></div>




<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-stephen-yiu">Stephen Yiu</h2>



<p>Turning to Stephen Yiu, who runs the <strong>Blue Whale Growth</strong> fund, he was a little more active in Q2. Over the period, he added several new holdings, and topped up quite a few existing positions.</p>



<p>One new holding for the money manager was <strong>Uber</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.co.uk/tickers/nyse-uber/">NYSE: UBER</a>). It’s the world’s largest rideshare company.</p>



<p>Over the period, Yiu picked up 848,119 shares in the company. At the end of the quarter, the holding was 5.2% of his portfolio.</p>


<div class="tmf-chart-singleseries" data-title="Uber Technologies Price" data-ticker="NYSE:UBER" data-range="5y" data-start-date="" data-end-date="" data-comparison-value=""></div>




<p>This stock has had a strong run in recent months. But I remain bullish on it (it’s one of my largest holdings) and believe it’s worth thinking about.</p>



<p>Profits and cash flows are rising rapidly and the valuation looks very reasonable. At today’s share price, the forward-looking P/E ratio is only 26.</p>



<p>Is competition from <strong>Tesla</strong>’s autonomous cars a risk? Potentially.</p>



<p>I think Uber will benefit from self-driving technology, however. Today, it has partnerships with around 15 autonomous vehicle companies.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-nick-train">Nick Train</h2>



<p>Finally, turning to Nick Train, he bought shares in <strong>Alphabet</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.co.uk/tickers/nasdaq-goog/">NASDAQ: GOOG</a>) during Q2. It’s the owner of Google and YouTube.</p>



<p>Train and his team are a little late to the party here. This company has been having success for many years now and <a href="https://www.fool.co.uk/investing-basics/getting-started-in-investing/foolish-investing-taking-the-long-term-approach/">long-term</a> investors (like myself) have been rewarded with big gains.</p>


<div class="tmf-chart-singleseries" data-title="Alphabet Price" data-ticker="NASDAQ:GOOG" data-range="5y" data-start-date="" data-end-date="" data-comparison-value=""></div>




<p>That said, I still like the stock today and believe it’s one to look at. In my view, it has the potential to deliver attractive returns from here.</p>



<p>Of course, generative AI is a threat to Google search. But this company is so much more than this now.</p>



<p>Today, YouTube and cloud computing are major growth drivers. Meanwhile, self-driving cars could be a growth driver in the future.</p>



<p>As for the valuation, it looks attractive. At today’s share price, the forward-looking P/E ratio is only 20.</p>

<p>One stock in particular stands out to me at the moment. With an asset-light business model, a strong competitive position, and impressive growth prospects, I think investors should take note.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-robotaxis">Robotaxis</h2>



<p><strong>Uber Technologies </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.co.uk/tickers/nyse-uber/">NYSE:UBER</a>) is in the transportation business. Its mobility division moves people to where things are and its delivery unit moves food to where people are.</p>


<div class="tmf-chart-singleseries" data-title="Uber Technologies Price" data-ticker="NYSE:UBER" data-range="5y" data-start-date="2020-08-08" data-end-date="2025-08-08" data-comparison-value=""></div>



<p>The obvious threat at the moment is <strong>Tesla</strong>. There’s a question mark over what effects Elon Musk’s company launching its robotaxi business in the near future would mean for Uber’s services.</p>



<p>It’s an important risk, but Uber isn’t standing still. The firm doesn’t make its own vehicles, but it’s in the process of partnering with the likes of Waymo and Baidu to get ahead of the competition.</p>



<p>There’s a lot to like about this business model from an investment perspective. And it’s starting to show up in the firm’s financial reports, which makes the stock particularly exciting right now.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-key-strengths">Key strengths</h2>



<p>Uber’s big competitive advantage is the size of its user base. With 180m monthly active users, the firm&#8217;s around eight times the size of <strong>Lyft</strong>.&nbsp;That makes it an attractive partner for the likes of Waymo. If <strong>Alphabet</strong>’s autonomous vehicle unit wants to be where the customers are, it’s going to have to join with Uber.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Acting as a platform – rather than owning its vehicles outright – also has another key benefit. It means the firm doesn’t have maintenance costs, which frees up cash for other purposes.</p>



<p>In this spirit, Uber&#8217;s announced a $20bn <a href="https://www.fool.co.uk/investing-basics/understanding-the-market/share-buybacks/">share buyback programme</a>. Around 10% of this might be offset by stock-based compensation, but that still leaves $18bn – 10% of the firm’s market value.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-growth-prospects">Growth prospects</h2>



<p>Ultimately, the key to Uber’s long-term success is the size of its membership base. And the 60% user growth generated by Uber One – the firm’s premium platform – is encouraging on this front.&nbsp;</p>



<p>I think this is particularly exciting. The ability to generate subscription revenue has been a key part of how <strong>Amazon </strong>has established itself as the leading e-commerce platform. In its most recent report, Uber reported a 17% increase in gross bookings. And the company’s guidance was for at least this again in Q3 2025.</p>



<p>The business is clearly an impressive operation with a strong competitive position. But the big question for investors is what does the valuation look like?&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-valuation">Valuation</h2>



<p>Adjusting for stock-based compensation, Uber’s free cash flows account for around 3.25% of the firm’s <a href="https://www.fool.co.uk/investing-basics/getting-started-in-investing/what-is-market-cap/">market value</a>. Considering the firm’s growth prospects, I don’t think that’s bad at all.&nbsp;</p>



<p>As revenues grow, margins should continue to widen, leading to net income growing faster than revenues. And the ongoing buyback should give earnings per share a further boost.</p>



<p>Given this, I don’t think a 3.25% implied yield is a bad return at all. With years of potential growth ahead, Uber&#8217;s a stock I think investors should be paying attention to.</p>

<p>Star hedge fund manager Bill Ackman clearly isn&#8217;t a big fan of diversification. We can see that in his <strong>FTSE 100</strong>-listed investment vehicle, <strong>Pershing Square Holdings</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.co.uk/tickers/lse-psh/">LSE: PSH</a>). Last we heard, it only held 12 stocks!</p>



<p>However, this concentrated strategy has served Pershing Square shareholders very well. The stock has returned around 120% over the past five years, excluding dividends. </p>


<div class="tmf-chart-singleseries" data-title="Pershing Square Price" data-ticker="LSE:PSH" data-range="5y" data-start-date="2020-07-24" data-end-date="2025-07-24" data-comparison-value=""></div>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-big-bold-move">Big bold move </h2>



<p>Regulatory filings showed that Ackman initiated a brand new position in the first quarter. The stock he bought was <strong>Uber Technologies</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.co.uk/tickers/nyse-uber/">NYSE: UBER</a>), the ridesharing and food delivery giant. </p>



<p>Pershing Square snapped up 30.3m shares in the period, making Uber its top holding, worth over $2.2bn. </p>



<p>However, the stock has jumped roughly 23% since the end of March. Assuming Pershing hasn&#8217;t sold some shares, which I doubt given the recent purchase and Ackman&#8217;s <a href="https://www.fool.co.uk/investing-basics/getting-started-in-investing/foolish-investing-taking-the-long-term-approach/">long-term investing philosophy</a>, then Uber would now be worth over 20% of invested assets.  </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-why-is-ackman-so-bullish">Why is Ackman so bullish?</h2>



<p>I think there are number of reasons why Uber looks like an attractive investment over the long run. The first relates to the company&#8217;s markedly improved <a href="https://www.fool.co.uk/investing-basics/understanding-company-accounts/the-profit-and-loss-account/">profitability</a> and management under CEO Dara Khosrowshahi.</p>



<p>As Ackman pointed out earlier this year: &#8220;<em>Since he joined the company in 2017, Dara Khosrowshahi has done a superb job in transforming the company into a highly profitable and cash-generative growth machine</em>.&#8221;</p>



<p>Uber has indeed come a long way since its cash-incinerating years. It has moved from a loss in 2022 to forecast earnings per share of $2.93 this year. Wall Street expects that figure to double by 2030. </p>



<p>Another thing that&#8217;s likely to have attracted Ackman is Uber&#8217;s push into adjacent markets. These include train and plane ticket bookings, advertisements, and a subscription service. Uber Ads has already surpassed a $1.5bn annual run rate, while Uber One has reached over 30m paying subscribers.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p><em>Membership drives multiple long-term benefits to Uber. They spend more and they are more likely to try new services that we introduce. It’s our highest long-term ROI</em> [return on investment] <em>lever by far</em>.&nbsp; </p>



<p>Dara Khosrowshahi</p>
</blockquote>



<p>I should disclose that I&#8217;m an Uber shareholder. And as an Uber One member too, I can&#8217;t remember the last time I used a rival taxi or food delivery firm (<strong>Just Eat</strong>, <strong>Deliveroo</strong>, etc). Many moons ago.</p>



<p>The elephant in the room here, though, is the rise of robotaxis, particularly those being trialled by <strong>Tesla</strong>. If these work safely, then the EV giant could steal market share from Uber. This is a key risk worth monitoring.</p>



<p>However, Ackman and Uber believe that autonomous vehicles (AVs) will not be a winner-takes-all market. And that AV makers will choose to partner with Uber to tap into its massive base of 170m monthly active users.</p>



<p>I think Uber stock is worth considering today.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-pershing-itself">Pershing itself </h2>



<p>What about Pershing Square? Is that also worth looking at? I believe it is (I&#8217;m a shareholder here too).</p>



<p>Beyond Uber, it holds high-quality stocks like <strong>Hilton Worldwide</strong>, <strong>Amazon</strong>, and investment firm <strong>Brookfield</strong>. Of course, the highly concentrated portfolio adds risk because a couple of underperformers can seriously drag on returns.</p>



<p>Looking ahead, it seems likely that tariff uncertainty will weigh on global trade and growth, potentially sparking market volatility. However, it&#8217;s in such situations that Ackman often makes his best investments. </p>

<p>In June 2023, I started buying shares in rideshare powerhouse <strong>Uber</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.co.uk/tickers/nyse-uber/">NYSE: UBER</a>). At the time, the US-listed growth stock was trading for around $45.</p>



<p>Fast forward to today and Uber’s share price is sitting at $96, so I’ve more than doubled my initial investment. I still see enormous potential, however, so I won’t be selling my shares any time soon.</p>


<div class="tmf-chart-singleseries" data-title="Uber Technologies Price" data-ticker="NYSE:UBER" data-range="5y" data-start-date="" data-end-date="" data-comparison-value=""></div>




<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-more-than-a-rideshare-platform">More than a rideshare platform</h2>



<p>Uber’s <a href="https://www.fool.co.uk/investing-basics/getting-started-in-investing/what-is-market-cap/">market cap</a> has risen to around $200bn lately, meaning that it’s a relatively large company these days. That valuation is nearly on par with the largest company in the <strong>FTSE 100</strong> index, <strong>AstraZeneca</strong>, which currently has a market cap of about $220bn.</p>



<p>I believe Uber has the potential to get much bigger in the years ahead, however. Because this company is extremely innovative. </p>



<p>Just look at how the company is getting involved in the robotaxi scene. Today, Uber has partnerships with more than 10 different self-driving car companies including Waymo, May Mobility, and Wayve (which is planning to launch in the UK soon). This means that it’s well placed to capitalise on the robotaxi revolution no matter who dominates it. I’ll point out that I recently jumped in a Waymo self-driving taxi via the Uber app in the US and it was a very smooth experience.</p>



<p>Alternatively, look at the level of innovation in the company’s food delivery segment (Uber Eats). Here, the company has teamed up with robotics companies like Avride and Serve Robotics to deliver food to US customers via small robotic devices. Using robots to deliver food can offer multiple benefits. These include lower labour costs, less pollution, and enhanced safety and hygiene.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-potential-for-growth">Potential for growth</h2>



<p>When you consider that Uber is a well-known brand (with near monopolies in many of the markets it operates in), that it now generates revenues from digital advertising, and that it also has a subscription service (with more than 30m members), the investment case looks pretty exciting. In my view, it’s highly likely that revenue and earnings will continue rising.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-a-reasonable-valuation">A reasonable valuation</h2>



<p>Now, after its rise over the last two years, the stock is not as cheap as it was. However, I don’t see today’s valuation as a deal breaker. Currently, the forward-looking <a href="https://www.fool.co.uk/investing-basics/how-to-value-shares/pe-ratio/">price-to-earnings</a> (P/E) ratio is about 33, falling to 27 using next year’s earnings forecast. That latter multiple isn’t high for a high-quality technology company.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-worth-a-look">Worth a look?</h2>



<p>Of course, there are plenty of risks to consider with this stock. Competition from <strong>Tesla</strong> in the robotaxi space is one. New regulations that negatively impact the business are another. I’ll point out here that the stock can be quite volatile at times and bad news can send it down sharply.</p>



<p>Taking a three-to-five year view, however, I see significant investment potential. I think the growth stock is worth considering today.</p>
