Uber is relatively new on the stock exchange as it became a publicly-traded company through Initial Public Offering on 10 May 2019 at the New York Stock Exchange. Uber experienced a significant decrease in its market capitalisation during the first quarter of 2020, when the market cap fell to $35 billion (£30 billion) during March from the $70 billion (£60) in February 2020.
Past performance of Uber stock price
Uber is trading on NYSE for less than a year and during this period it has witnessed some ups and downs. The IPO expectations about Uber shares price were adjusted between $44 (£38) to $50 (£43) with expected company value of more than $80 billion (£69). However, Uber price on the IPO day was set at $45 (£39) when the company offered 180 million shares to the public with the aim to collect $8.1 billion (£7 billion) from the public offering. The trading started at $42 (£36), which is below the anticipated price.
Since it went public, Uber shares price has seen some significant changes. The available data shows that the company has managed to increase its revenues, reporting a high of $14 billion (£12 billion) in revenue for 2019.
How to invest in Uber stock
Traders can decide to profit from Uber price movement without actually buying or selling its stock because tokenised assets mimic the price changes of the reference asset.
The instrument which enables the aforementioned is the tokenised Uber shares available on Dzengi.com. The new type of instrument is created with the application of blockchain technology used in the process of recording data. Also, the technology used increases the efficiency in the execution of transactions because some intermediaries which put additional burden on the transaction costs became obsolete.
Moreover, before the creation of tokenised assets, investors with crypto holdings had to sell their cryptocurrencies and obtain fiat money before they could purchase Uber shares. This is not the case anymore, thanks to the tokenised assets. When you register on Dzengi.com, you can choose whether to buy tokenised assets directly with crypto or with fiat money. Thus, it means that traders don't have to experience additional costs to exchange their cryptocurrencies.
Another feature of the tokenised assets which should be mentioned is that traders stand to make higher profits due to the leverage of up to 1:100 offered by Dzengi.com. Namely, irrespective of whether you take long positions (speculate on price increase) or short positions (estimate price decline) you can open larger positions with the same amount of capital. Hence, you should know the margin available for tokenised Uber shares.
Let's say that you have $650 (£563) of capital available to invest in Uber stock and at a price of $13 (£11) you can purchase 50 shares on the open market. Assume that the price increases by 4 per cent, you can earn $26 (£22.5) from your long position. Now, consider how much a trader can make using the 5 per cent margin provided by Dzengi.com on the tokenised Uber shares. You can open a position worth $13,000 (£11,264) with the same amount of capital and gain exposure to the corresponding 4 per cent increase in price. Therefore, you can make a profit of $520 (£450) which is far more than the $26 profit from the NYSE.
