Uber上市在即,已甩開對手幾條街
在爭奪打車服務的主導權上,Uber正式宣布了領先地位,它的收入比正在崛起的競爭者Lyft高出90億美元,用戶數也比后者多出至少6,000萬人。
這是Uber的S-1文件(招股說明書)中透露的重大信息。這家位于舊金山的公司于上周四向美國證券交易委員會(Securities and Exchange Commission)提交了首次公開募股的文書。幾周內,Uber的股票就將在紐約證券交易所(New York Stock Exchange)上市。據稱,其交易價格會將公司的估值定位在1,000億美元,低于最初的報道價。在打車之外,Uber還有送餐服務Uber Eats和貨運服務Uber Freight。
盡管公司自2009年創立起就主導了打車市場,卻因為一系列事件飽受爭議,例如監聽最直接的競爭對手Lyft、欺騙監管方、在前任首席執行官特拉維斯·卡拉尼克的管理下提倡性別歧視的職場風氣等。最后這一事件讓Lyft乘虛而入,以“振奮人心的文化”樹立了更加正派的形象。
不過Lyft絕非失敗者。作為第一家首次公開股的打車公司,它于3月29日在納斯達克上市,開盤價為87.24美元。上周四收盤時,Lyft的股價為61.01美元,上漲1.48%。
對于Lyft而言,未來情況會有所不同。不過如今,Uber公開的最新文件中列出了這家市場領導者對于競爭對手的明顯優勢:
2018年收入
Uber:113億美元
Lyft:22億美元

In the race for ride-hailing dominance, Uber is officially in the pole position, out-pacing rising competitor Lyft by more than $9 billion in revenue and at least 60 million users.
That’s the big takeaway from Uber’s S-1, after the San Francisco-based company has filed its initial public offering paperwork with the Securities and Exchange Commission on last Thursday. Uber stock, which will trade on the New York Stock Exchange within weeks, is reportedly seeking to fetch the company a $100 billion valuation, which is lower than initial reports. Beyond ride-hailing, Uber also operates meal-delivery service Uber Eats, shipping service Uber Freight.
While the company has dominated the ride-hailing market since its inception in 2009, it has struggled with big public controversies like spying on its closest competitor, Lyft, deceiving regulators, and promoting a sexist workplace culture under former CEO Travis Kalanick, the latter allowing Lyft to swoop in and boast a cleaner image with an “uplifting culture.”
But Lyft is no mere also-ran. The first of the rival ride-hailing companies to IPO, it started trading on the Nasdaq on March 29 with an opening stock price of $87.24. On last Thursday, Lyft stocks closed up 1.48% at $61.01 per share.
Tomorrow’s another story for Lyft. But today, Uber’s latest public filing outlines the clear advantages the market leader holds over its rival:
2018 Revenue
Uber: $11.3 billion
Lyft: $2.2 billion
2018 Loss
Uber: $1.85 billion (Adjusted EBITDA loss)
Lyft: $911 million
Total Cities
Uber: 700+ (globally)
Lyft: 300+ (across U.S. and Canada)
2018 Booking revenue from ride-hailing service
Uber: $41.5 billion
Lyft: $8.1 billion
Users in 2018
Uber: 91 million (including other services like Uber Eats)
Lyft: 30.7 million
Drivers in 2018
