Uber Technologies (UBER  ) shares closed up on Tuesday as the company announced plans to acquire SpotHero. Uber did not disclose the financial terms of the deal. This strategic move, which brings parking reservation capabilities to its app, aims to enhance Uber's service offerings, particularly for commuters and event-goers.

Details

Uber's acquisition of SpotHero, a leading parking reservation app, will integrate parking services directly into the Uber app, allowing users to easily find parking in over 400 cities across the U.S. and Canada.

The deal is expected to close in the first half of 2026, pending regulatory approval, and will enhance the benefits for Uber One members by providing additional parking options.

The acquisition is anticipated to not only streamline the parking process for users but also expand Uber's ecosystem, potentially increasing user engagement and driving more traffic to the platform.

SpotHero's CEO emphasized that joining forces with Uber will allow them to reach millions more drivers, enhancing the overall user experience.

This week, the company has launched Uber Autonomous Solutions, a new initiative aimed at advancing autonomous vehicle technology.

This development is expected to enhance the commercialization of self-driving vehicles by offering a comprehensive suite of services to partners across various markets.

Technical Analysis

Meanwhile, the broader market saw declines, with the Russell 2000 down 1.42% and the Nasdaq falling 1.03%. This backdrop of a mixed market suggests that Uber's positive movement may be more reflective of its company-specific news rather than overall market sentiment.

Over the past 12 months, shares have decreased about 30%, and they are currently positioned closer to their 52-week lows than highs, which reflects ongoing challenges in the stock's performance.

The RSI is at 50.00, indicating a neutral position, while the MACD is at 0.10, below its signal line at 0.15, suggesting bearish pressure on the stock. The combination of neutral RSI and bearish MACD indicates mixed momentum for Uber.
