Pershing Square’s Bill Ackman revealed Friday that he has built a significant share in UberAnd says the stock is still dealing with a “massive” discount.

In a post on X, the Hedge Fund -Manager said his fund began buying Uber shares in early January and has collected 30.3 million shares worth $ 2.3 billion based on the current level of the stock around $ 75 per Stock.

“We think Uber is one of the best -controlled and highest quality companies in the world,” Ackman said in the post. “Remarkably, it can still be purchased with a massive discount on its inherent value. This favorable combination of attributes is extremely rare, especially for a large cap company.”

Uber shares rose more than 8% on Friday. The share had taken a hit on Wednesday and fell 7.5%after the Ride-Hailing company offered soft guidance and issued a profit miss.

The share has collected approx. 25% in 2025 after a disappointing 2024, with the shares dipped 2%.
