Financially, Uber's fourth-quarter revenue grew 20% year over year to $11.96 billion, exceeding the expected $11.77 billion. However, its adjusted EPS of $0.23 fell below analysts' estimates of $0.50. The company reported a net income of $6.9 billion, or $3.21 per share, up from $1.4 billion, or $0.66 per share, in the previous year. This figure was significantly impacted by a $6.4 billion tax valuation benefit and a $556 million gain from equity investment revaluations. Gross bookings reached $44.2 billion, surpassing expectations, while adjusted EBITDA climbed 44% year over year to $1.84 billion. Looking ahead, Uber Technologies, Inc.
