Brasada Capital Management stated the following regarding Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:UBER) in its second quarter 2025 investor letter:

“The best way to demonstrate this is with examples. We want to highlight two recent purchases where we think great businesses were undeservingly sold off by the market due to short-term fears. The first is West Pharmaceutical Services (Ticker: WST), which we purchased through our Friedberg Focused Equity and GCI Select Equity strategies. The second is Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:UBER), which we purchased through our Brasada Equity and GCI Select Equity strategies.

Uber is a technology provider that connects riders with drivers, and customers with restaurants and food couriers, operating its on-demand platform in over 70 countries with more than 170 million monthly users. Less known, Uber also facilitates connections between shippers and carriers in its freight segment, as well as maintaining a burgeoning AI data labeling business. In short, Uber doesn’t really need much introduction since Uber has basically already become a verb in our vocabulary.

As far as quality is concerned, Uber operates one of the best business models around, a network-based marketplace. Uber aggregates both the supply and demand of transportation services at a scale large enough to give it both a cost and service advantage over any would be competitors.…” (Click here to read the full text)
