Uber's market cap stands at $134B with $2-3B net debt and $8-10B of expected free cash flow through year-end, implying a roughly $126B enterprise value if the share price holds flat for the next 5+ months -- matching the $126B valuation Google-owned Waymo secured in a $16B funding round raised earlier this year.
The two companies differ sharply in scale and near-term revenue: Uber runs about 10,000,000 drivers and couriers across 15,000 cities and is expected to generate $65B in revenue over the next 12 months, versus Waymo's roughly 4,000 robotaxis across 12 cities and about $1B in expected revenue.
The equal valuations translate to Uber trading at about 2x next-twelve-months revenue versus an implied ~126x multiple for Waymo, showing investors are pricing Waymo as a robotaxi-technology bet rather than on current ride-hailing economics -- a gap automakers weighing robotaxi investments and partnerships are watching closely.
