Uber to Cut ~10% of Staff, Halve Micro-Teams in Major Restructuring
UBER sits 16% above its 52-week low of $65.41.
Summary
Uber is cutting roughly 10% of its workforce, about 3,300 jobs, and halving its micro-teams while trimming manager headcount by ~20%. The restructuring aims to broaden manager spans and simplify the org structure. This is a significant cost-cutting move that signals margin focus, though it may also reflect demand or efficiency concerns. BTIG maintained its $100 price target with no estimate changes, suggesting the analyst views the cuts as neutral to slightly positive for profitability. The news follows Uber's strong Q2 results and the pending Delivery Hero acquisition, adding a layer of operational streamlining ahead of that integration.
