Uber is set to get listed in the S&P 500 index. Later this month, the company will be listed in the Dow Jones Indices. Immediately after the announcement, the company shared that it had touched two two-year year-high prices.
The company is consistently improving its transportation services with its innovative technology. It has been successful in launching its products in various developing countries. Uber has gained good value over the years for their on-time and flexible services.
Uber Technologies’ share price rose more than 2% when the news media houses captured the news. On Monday, the company experienced a price jump of over two years, showing a positive sign for the company’s future growth. Investors are also optimistic about the company’s position in the industry.
Millions of users follow the world’s most significant stock market index. Small news can also trigger a ripple effect in the stock market and push the other stocks. On Friday, Uber announced it would be listing Uber in the stock market before the end of this month. With Uber, there will be two other companies: Manufacturing firm Jabil (JBL) and building products supplier Builders FirstSource (BLDR), which will also be listed in the index on the same day.
These three new companies will be replacing old listed companies: Sealed Air Corp. (SEE), Alaska Air Group (ALK), and Solar Edge Technologies (SEDG).
Uber has been in the business for several years now. It has changed the local transportation facilities, which were unorganized for several centuries. Getting into the market where the commercial transportation business could not survive longer, Uber was the first company to change the marketplace with their innovative solution.
After the successful run in the US market, the company expanded its footfall into Europe and other growing countries where it is dominating the transportation business. Uber is improving yearly with additional facilities and a better environment for its partners.
Before the announcement, the Uber share rallied to $60.88, up by $3.53 on volume trading. The company is doing business with more profit churning every year. The company have tripled its value since June 2022.
Uber will have more stability in the share price as it gets placed in the S&P 500 listing. The share price volatility will slowly stabilize, and more investors may be interested in the company. After listing, the company also attracted foreign investors because global investors largely follow the S&P 500.
Existing company investors have shown positive responses to the company’s future. As more investors pump the company’s money, the price will skyrocket over time. It may help the company to raise funds quickly for future development.
Investors will also generate good returns in the long run as the company pulls more revenue from their product launches. Uber’s primary business has seen rapid growth. Also, the company is working on expanding its business with the launch of the new verticals.
Furthermore, Uber may enjoy the pre-booking of the shares through the institute purchase and mutual funds. Because the company have developed a good reputation in the industry over some time, the investors would be more inclined to get a position in the company with the massive investment.
After the company gets the listing, we may get to hear the news of top investors buying Uber shares and booking their seats.
It is an excellent opportunity for the company to invest in a technology-based business that can grow. An investor can redeem their shares and gain good profit from it.
On top of that, the company will gain more brand value in the international market. Generally, the company listed in the S&P Indexes is always on the radars of big institutions. The value of the company will skyrocket. Investors will show more interest in investing in the fund and further increase the company’s value. Higher name recognition will also help the company gain trust.
It will directly affect the ground-level business where customer interaction happens with the partners. Accessibility of the company will improve, and short-term price changes will go away as the price stabilizes, helping the investors to earn more profit than booking losses due to sudden changes in the market condition.
It will open the new doors for the company. More investors means more brand value and consumer trust. Revenue will see a rise as the company starts opening its operation in the regions where it doesn’t have a presence.
However, the market is becoming more challenging because new players are emerging in developing countries. Technology is no longer a secret recipe. Any tech giant can launch similar services. Now, getting out of the competition would be challenging for the company. The company has to work on R&D to develop a technology to improve its ecosystem and help raise the company to the next level.
