Moat

27 /100

Weak moat

How hard Uber's competitive advantage looks for rivals to wear away, judged from 8 years of its own filings: returns on capital, pricing power, profit durability, cash conversion and discipline.

  • Returns on capital 0 / 20

    Net income has been a median -2.0% of total assets over 8 years.

  • Durability 10 / 20

    Operating margin has been a median -5.4%; its worst year was -73.5%.

  • Cash conversion 8 / 20

    Free cash flow was positive in 5 of 8 years, at a median 3.8% of revenue.

  • Discipline 8 / 20

    The diluted share count rose 13.4% over five years; stock-based pay has been a median 5.6% of revenue.

AI disruption exposure: Medium. In this industry, AI could change how the product is made or sold, without replacing the core asset. The score above includes a 5-point deduction for that exposure (32 before it).
