Uber went public on the New York Stock Exchange in 2019.
Uber’s initial public offering was priced on May 9, 2019, at $45 per share. Its common stock began trading on the NYSE the next day, May 10, under the ticker symbol UBER. The offering raised billions of dollars and marked one of the largest technology IPOs in U.S. history at the time.
The date can cause confusion because the IPO pricing and the first trading session occurred on different days. Both events happened in 2019, so the year—not May 9 or May 10—is the key point for this question. Uber’s rival Lyft had already begun trading publicly earlier that year, on the Nasdaq.
Uber was founded in 2009 as UberCab and initially focused on arranging black-car rides through a smartphone app. It later expanded into food delivery, freight, scooters, bikes and other services. Despite its enormous private valuation before the IPO, the stock opened below its offering price, reflecting investor concerns about losses, regulation and competition.
