Dara Khosrowshahi, chief executive officer of Uber Technologies speaks on a webcast during the company's initial public offering on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, May 10, 2019. Uber 's stock spiked more than 10% Wednesday morning after the ride-sharing company announced it will buy back up to $7 billion worth of company shares. "Today's authorization of our first-ever share repurchase program is a vote of confidence in the company's strong financial momentum," Uber CFO Prashanth Mahendra-Rajah said in a press release Wednesday morning. Mahendra-Rajah added that Uber "will be thoughtful as it relates to the pace of our buyback, beginning with actions that partially offset stock-based compensation, and working towards a consistent reduction in share count." The buyback news comes a week after Uber reported fourth-quarter results that beat Wall Street's earnings and revenue estimates.
