Smart investors will ask how much cash is Uber (UBER) generating because is a finance company. I consider Uber a FinTech company because its platform expedites payment between drivers and passengers. Uber makes money by charging drivers and passengers transaction fees.

Cash, not income, is the attraction at finance and FinTech companies. Uber can generate enormous amounts of cash. It reported a quarterly ending cash flow of $6.793 billion on 31 March 2023. However, Uber is generating less cash, the quarterly ending cash flow fell from $7.592 billion on 31 March 2022. The quarterly ending cash flow rose from -$1.957 billion on 31 December 2022.

Comparatively, Uber reported a quarterly operating cash flow of $606 million on 31 March 2023. The quarterly operating cash flow grew from $15 million on 31 March 2023 and -$244 million on 31 December 2022.
