See who owns itWhat Uber insiders have been doing
Executives and directors must disclose their own trades in company stock. Of the last 6 disclosed transactions we hold for Uber, none were an open-market buy or sell — they are awards, vesting, option exercises or derivative conversions, which is normal and says nothing about conviction either way. Insiders sell for many ordinary reasons — scheduled plans, tax, diversification — so a sale is not by itself a signal.
