L1 Capital International Fund stated the following regarding Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:UBER) in its fourth quarter 2025 investor letter:

“Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:UBER) is a ‘battleground’ company. Uber is clearly the leader in ridesharing and meal delivery networks in the U.S. and many markets globally today. Autonomous vehicles continue to gain traction, with Waymo (Alphabet), Telsa and Zoox (Amazon.com) at the forefront, and many other companies developing their own autonomous vehicle strategies. Uber is working with many of these companies and is well placed to maintain its central network role in a hybrid world of human-driven and autonomous vehicles. That said, we recognise the inherent uncertainties and view Uber as a higher-risk, higher-return investment opportunity. Accordingly, Uber remains a smaller position in the Portfolio and is not a top 10 holding.”
