Uber Hits New Highs Amid Market Volatility — But a $200M Payout Is Still on the Table

Court: N.D. California

Case: 3:19-cv-06361

Uber UBER briefly reached a new intraday record on Tuesday before pulling back, as markets responded to trade tension headlines and fresh tariff threats from former President Trump. While pharma stocks slipped on news of potential 200% duties, UBER held its ground after a strong 2025 run, fueled by optimism around earnings and platform expansion.

With the company set to release Q2 2025 results on August 6th, investors are watching closely to see whether strong rideshare demand and operational efficiencies can sustain momentum. But price action isn’t the only thing long-term shareholders should be tracking right now.

Don’t Forget the Legal Side: UBER’s $200M Settlement

As Uber hits fresh highs, many investors may have missed a quieter story — the company’s $200 million settlement with investors over IPO-related allegations involving hidden losses, regulatory evasion, and safety failures.

• May 9, 2019: Uber goes public, raising $8.1B.
• Aug 8, 2019: Q2 results show $5.2B loss; UBER drops over 20%.
• Oct 4, 2019: Investors sue Uber for misleading statements.
• 2017–2019: Reports allege illegal driver operations in global markets.
• Pre-IPO: Uber failed to disclose 5,981 sexual assaults and 126 deaths.

• Uber settled the case for $200 million.
• If you held UBER during the affected period, you may still qualify.
• Late claims are currently being accepted.
• Payouts typically take 8–12 months after court approval.
