BofA Securities analyst Justin Post maintained a Buy rating on Uber Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UBER/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $96</a> after the ride-hailing giant announced a partnership with NVDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) to collaborate on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/42839556/uber-and-nvidia-partner-on-ai-technology-for-autonomous-cars" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">autonomous vehicle enablement</a>.

The price target reflects a 20 times 2026E FCF multiple, which Post deems reasonable versus the FANG average of 28 times, given Uber&#8217;s strong 2026E EBITDA growth outlook of 28% versus the FANG average of 17%.
The collaboration is focusing on supporting the development of AI-powered autonomous driving (AVs), pairing Uber&#8217;s dataset of millions of daily trips with Nvidia&#8217;s new Cosmos platform (first announced at CES) and Nvidia DGX Cloud.
Cosmos is Nvidia&#8217;s new generative AI platform. It focuses on &#8220;physical AI systems,&#8221; creating synthetic environments and eliminating cost barriers to developing advanced robotics.

Nvidia DGX Cloud offers a fully managed AI platform preconfigured with advanced Nvidia architecture and software on &#8220;an open platform&#8221; for AI model development across multi-cloud environments.
Uber will likely commit significant resources, given the importance of this strategy to the business.
Nvidia chief Jensen Huang noted at CES that Cosmos is the world&#8217;s first foundational model tailored explicitly for &#8220;Physical AI.&#8221; He said autonomous vehicles will be the first multi-trillion-dollar robotics industry. He announced a partnership with Toyota, with Toyota&#8217;s next-gen vehicles using Nvidia&#8217;s Drive AGX Orin supercomputers and operating system DriveOS for real-time AI processing and integration of advanced driving and cockpit features. 
He also announced a next-gen chip tailored for AVs called &#8220;Drive Thor,&#8221; an advancement from its prior &#8220;Drive Orin&#8221; chip, enabling auto OEMs to more efficiently consolidate multiple functions in a single system, reducing overall system cost.
The variety of AV partnerships and products announced at CES underscores Post&#8217;s thesis that multiple auto OEMs will integrate Level 4 self-driving technology long term, providing Uber with multiple available partners in AV ridesharing, including Uber, Toyota Motor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>), Aurora Innovation, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AUR#NASDAQ">AUR</a>) with its self-driving trucks, and automotive supplier Continental. With numerous new AV competitors — Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Waymo, Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), Amazon.com Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Zoox — Post noted auto OEMs will increasingly focus on integrating Level 4 autonomy.
For Uber, providing data and ride imaging/video in an increasingly open-sourced manner could help auto OEMs reach Level 4 more quickly and effectively reduce the likelihood of a &#8220;Walled Garden&#8221; outcome for only one OEM. Uber&#8217;s data could also have an advantage in addressing the ridesharing use case, with higher-quality data on the most essential trips and routes for ride-hailing. 
Uber is one of Post&#8217;s top picks for 2025.
UBER Price Action: Uber stock is down by 2.72% at $64.35 at publication Wednesday.
