Uber Technologies (UBER) began as a convenient, app-based ride-hailing service, and is now slowly growing into a global tech giant. Its operations now include food delivery, freight transportation, and even autonomous driving technologies. Initially, Uber's stock struggled to gain traction, reflecting investor concerns about the company's ability to achieve profitability.
However, Uber has now solved the problem. In fact, reporting profits for four consecutive quarters helped to earn the company a place in the S&P 500 Index ($SPX).
