Uber's stock trades under the ticker symbol UBER on the New York Stock Exchange

Uber Technologies Inc. trades publicly under the single ticker UBER. You will see this four-letter symbol on every financial website, brokerage platform, and stock tracking app. The stock began trading on May 10, 2019, when Uber held its initial public offering on the NYSE.

If you are looking to buy Uber stock, check the price, or monitor the company's performance, you will search for or enter UBER into whatever platform you use. This is the only ticker symbol Uber uses — there are no alternative symbols or different share classes to track.

Key Takeaways

  • Uber's ticker symbol is UBER, and it trades on the New York Stock Exchange, not the NASDAQ or any other exchange.
  • You can find Uber's stock price on financial websites like Yahoo Finance, Google Finance, or your brokerage platform by searching for UBER.
  • Uber has one class of common stock, so UBER is the only symbol you need to watch if you own or are considering owning Uber shares.
  • Real-time stock prices require a brokerage account or a financial data service; free websites typically show a 15- to 20-minute delay.

Where to look up UBER stock price and performance

Financial websites that do not require an account will show you Uber's current price, daily change, and historical performance. Yahoo Finance, Google Finance, and MarketWatch all display UBER data for free. Type UBER into the search box on any of these sites and you will see the latest available price, a chart, and basic company information.

If you have a brokerage account — whether with Fidelity, Charles Schwab, E-Trade, or another firm — you can search for UBER directly in your account dashboard. Brokerage platforms show real-time prices if you have an active account, whereas free financial websites typically show prices delayed by 15 to 20 minutes.

Financial news outlets like CNBC, Bloomberg, and Reuters also publish Uber stock data and analysis. These sites are useful if you want reporting on what is moving the stock price on a given day, not just the number itself.

How to buy Uber stock using the UBER ticker

To purchase Uber shares, you need a brokerage account. Open an account with a broker that offers stock trading — most major brokers do — and fund the account with cash. Once your account is active and funded, search for UBER in the trading section of your broker's platform.

Enter the number of shares you want to buy and place your order. You can place a market order, which executes at the current price, or a limit order, which only executes if the stock reaches a price you set. After your order fills, the shares appear in your account and you own a piece of Uber Technologies Inc.

Different brokers charge different commissions and fees, and some offer commission-free stock trading. Compare brokers before opening an account if cost matters to your decision.

Understanding what moves the UBER stock price

Uber's stock price changes based on company earnings reports, changes in ridership or delivery demand, regulatory decisions, competition, and broader market conditions. When Uber reports quarterly results, the stock often moves sharply depending on whether the company beat or missed analyst expectations.

Regulatory news — such as decisions about driver classification, pricing rules, or expansion into new markets — can also swing the stock. Fuel prices, inflation, and economic slowdowns affect how much people spend on rides and food delivery, which in turn affects Uber's revenue and profit.

You can track these events by following financial news or by setting up price alerts on your brokerage platform. Many brokers let you receive notifications when UBER hits a price you specify or when major news breaks about the company.

Tracking Uber stock in a portfolio or watchlist

Most brokerage platforms and financial websites let you create a watchlist — a personal list of stocks you are monitoring. Add UBER to your watchlist and you can see its price and performance alongside other stocks without having to search for it each time.

If you own Uber shares, your brokerage account automatically tracks your position, showing how many shares you own, what you paid for them, and what they are worth today. Your account will also show your gain or loss in dollars and as a percentage.

Free financial apps like Robinhood, Fidelity's mobile app, and others let you create watchlists and track UBER without owning shares. This is useful if you are researching the stock before deciding whether to buy.

Dividends and stock splits involving UBER

Uber has not paid a dividend to shareholders since it began trading. The company reinvests its profits into growth rather than returning cash to shareholders. This means you earn money on Uber stock only if the share price rises and you sell, not through regular dividend payments.

Uber has not split its stock since going public. A stock split would divide each existing share into multiple shares at a lower price per share, but this has not happened. If Uber announces a split in the future, your brokerage will handle the adjustment automatically and your UBER ticker symbol will remain the same.

How UBER compares to other rideshare and delivery company tickers

If you want to compare Uber to other companies in the same space, you will need their ticker symbols. Lyft, Uber's main rideshare competitor in the United States, trades under the ticker LYFT on the NASDAQ. DoorDash, a food delivery competitor, trades under DASH, also on the NASDAQ.

You can pull up all three tickers side by side on most financial websites to compare their stock prices, performance, and trends. This is useful if you are deciding which company's stock to own or if you want to understand how Uber is performing relative to its peers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is UBER the same on all stock exchanges?

Uber trades only on the New York Stock Exchange under UBER. It does not trade on the NASDAQ, London Stock Exchange, or any other exchange. If you see UBER quoted anywhere, it is the same stock and the same company.

Can I buy fractional shares of Uber stock?

Many brokers now offer fractional share trading, which lets you buy a portion of one share of UBER instead of having to buy a whole share. This means you can invest a smaller amount of money. Check your broker's platform to see if fractional shares are available.

What time of day does UBER stock trade?

The New York Stock Exchange is open Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. UBER trades during these hours. Some brokers offer extended-hours trading before and after the regular market close, but volume and price accuracy are lower during these times.

How do I set up alerts for UBER stock price changes?

Most brokerage platforms and financial apps have an alerts feature. Search for UBER, click the alert or notification option, and set the price or percentage change that will trigger a notification. You will receive an email or app notification when UBER hits that level.

Does Uber pay taxes on my stock gains?

When you sell UBER shares for a profit, you owe capital gains tax on the difference between what you paid and what you sold it for. Short-term gains (shares held less than one year) are taxed as ordinary income. Long-term gains (shares held more than one year) usually have a lower tax rate. Consult a tax professional about your specific situation.
