Uber’s food delivery unit helped keep it to a 16% drop in quarterly revenue but that service is losing money. Experience from rideshare could help. But its valuation is fully baked relative to peers, writes GinaChon:

Having a diversified business helped Uber weather the pandemic better than smaller rival Lyft. The larger firm’s results on Wednesday fell below analyst expectations though Uber Eats, the business that delivers food, helped prop it up. Revenue in that business more than tripled in the quarter compared to the same quarter the previous year. Meanwhile on Tuesday, Lyft, which is mostly a taxi-like service, said revenue dropped 44% in the fourth quarter over the same period.
