BofA Global Research cuts PT on Uber UBER.N to $93 from $96, citing foreign exchange pressure and rising auto insurance costs

Brokerage says FX rates have improved from the peak of U.S. dollar appreciation but remain a significant headwind

"We would expect Uber to try to pass this through to consumers, but the market may be less receptive given already large increases to high insurance-cost states like California and New Jersey in 2024," brokerage says

Brokerage says a potential labor market squeeze from President Donald Trump's immigration policies may also weigh

49 of 56 brokerages rate stock "buy" or higher, and 7 "hold"; median PT is $90 - LSEG data
