Why Trade UBER Options Right Now

Trading options on Uber may be compelling right now due to several interrelated factors—ranging from its strong fundamentals and strategic developments to favorable options market dynamics and tactical opportunities.

1. Strong Earnings and Buyback Tailwind

• Uber just reported strong Q2 2025 results:
  

  • Monthly active users: 180 million (+15%)

  • Trips: 3.3 billion (+18%)

  • Gross bookings: $46.8 billion (+17%)

  • Revenue: $12.65 billion (+18%)

  • Net profit: $1.36 billion (up from $1.02B YoY) 
    

• The company also announced a massive $23 billion buyback program (~12% of its market cap), signaling strong cash flow and shareholder-friendly strategy

These fundamentals support upward price momentum, making bullish options (like calls or spreads) potentially attractive.

2. Institutional Backing

• Bill Ackman’s Pershing Square acquired 30.3 million shares (~$2.2 billion) in Q1 2025, reinforcing confidence in Uber’s management and outlook. Citi maintained a Buy rating with a $102 target 

This tailwinds positive sentiment and may drive implied volatility upward.

3. Options Volatility and Positioning Dynamics

• Recent implied volatility (IV) is elevated above its 52-week median, implying the market anticipates larger price moves—potentially driven by earnings or strategic activity

• Put-call skew has flattened, suggesting a slightly bullish tilt among options traders 

• Unusual Options Activity:
  

  • In the past 3 weeks, traders executed 49 unusual options trades on Uber—33 calls ($1.76M) vs. 16 puts ($954K)—with strike targets spanning $55 to $105 

  • A call sweep at the $95 strike on August 15 indicated bullish pressure at that level

These directional signals may indicate that “smart money” is positioning for upside, but of course time will tell so let’s watch it closely.

What’s on your radar for the day today?

Personally, I am looking for markets to rebound after a nasty day yesterday and head into the end of the week on a strong push, maybe even seeing SPY test $650.
