Waymo's 10% Market Share in SF

Ross Gerber of Gerber Kawasaki claims Uber is 'cooked' amid Waymo's expansion in San Francisco, where Waymo has achieved 10% market share using its own app. This suggests growing competitive threat from fully autonomous services, which could erode Uber’s core ride-hailing business if autonomous technology gains traction faster than expected.

70% Bearish Options Sentiment

Waymo's National Expansion

Waymo is expanding into Baltimore, Pittsburgh, and St. Louis with manual test drives, signaling broader U.S. rollout. With Waymo’s focus on scalable, high-margin autonomous rides and growing infrastructure, Uber faces increasing pressure in the robotaxi race, especially as Tesla and Amazon’s Zoox also enter the space.

Price Clustering at $91.50

The options analysis suggests a likely clustering point at $91.50, implying that the market sees $91.50 as a key support level. If the stock fails to hold this level, it could trigger further downside momentum, especially given the bearish options flow and lack of immediate catalysts to justify the current $125 analyst target.
