New gold price target

---

Most investment banks now predict gold will cross $6,000 an ounce this year.

Some analysts expect it to soar as high as $10,000.

But if you ‘re thinking of buying gold this year, do this first.

In short: There ‘s no question 2026 will be a year of great uncertainty, especially as we get closer to the midterm elections.

And there ‘s no question gold could skyrocket as a result.

But I have an unfortunate truth to tell you…

Most folks will likely run out and buy bullion or mining stocks.

Sadly, these folks will likely miss out on the biggest gains.

That’s because there’s a much, much better way to invest in gold right now.

Most people know nothing about it.

But as I’ll show you, if you follow this simple approach, which has nothing to do with bullion, ETFs, or mining stocks, the gains can be absolutely incredible.

In one period, it turned every $5,000 invested into more than $1.6 million.

Which is why we ‘re sounding the alarm on gold in 2026.

And why it ‘s critical for you to see our top gold recommendation immediately.

Uber in the Buy Zone: Can It Take Investors for a Ride They Like?

Submitted by Thomas Hughes. Publication Date: 2/5/2026. 

Article Highlights

• Uber’s mixed results and tepid guidance led price action to long-term lows, where buyers were waiting.
• The company’s cash flow is solid, and capital return reliably reduces the share count.
• Analysts and institutional data indicate accumulation in early 2026 and a price floor.

Uber (NYSE: UBER) stock retreated into the buy zone in early Q1 2026, and signs indicate it can take investors on a potentially rewarding ride. Boosted by recent earnings, analyst trends, and institutional buying, the company looks like a profitably growing tech business that matters today and for the future.

Focused on ride-sharing and final-mile services, Uber’s future is tied to autonomous driving and the application of physical AI. Partnerships include NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) for infrastructure and platform support, as well as major AV developers such as Waymo and Aurora, which already operate autonomous vehicles.

Uber Drives Away With Record Free Cash Flow in 2025

The highest technology standards in the world are set in the United States. It’s where companies like Google, Meta, and NVIDIA were built – companies that now command multi-trillion-dollar market capitalizations. They didn’t get there by retrofitting for scale, compliance, or scrutiny later. They were built for it from day one.

RAD Intel was built the same way. Developed inside real Fortune 1000 workflows, the platform was shaped by U.S. enterprise requirements around performance, governance, and accountability. Today, revenue has grown 2x year over year, and the company’s valuation has increased more than 5,000% in roughly four years.Learn more before the share price moves.

Uber’s Q4 earnings were mixed: adjusted earnings per share (EPS) missed estimates, but the overall results were strong. Revenue of $14.73 billion was up 20.2% year-over-year, maintaining its roughly 20% growth pace for another quarter and narrowly beating analyst consensus.

Growth was driven by an 18% increase in active users and a 3% rise in trips per user. Trips were up 22%, bookings rose 22%, and margins expanded. Mobility grew 20% while Delivery jumped 26%, supporting the longer-term outlook.

The earnings picture was nuanced. The EPS miss prompted a post-release pullback even though the quarter showed meaningful year-over-year improvement, margin expansion and record cash flow.

Key metrics included a 35% increase in adjusted EBITDA, a 46% rise in adjusted operating income, a 25% increase in net income, and a 65% jump in free cash flow (FCF) to $2.8 billion.

Guidance was another sticking point. Uber expects a typical seasonal step-down from Q4, but the 2026 guidance still implies roughly 19% growth versus the same quarter last year, with adjusted earnings of $0.68.

The $0.68 outlook was below consensus; however, it likely reflects conservative assumptions and wider margins. Momentum from Q4 could carry into the current quarter and potentially strengthen as the year progresses. Recent developments in Washington point to de‑escalation in trade tensions, moderating inflation, and accelerating global economic activity.

Free Cash Flow Drives Analysts and Institutional Interest

Revenue growth matters for the stock, but cash flow may matter more. Uber’s 2025 pivot to improving free cash flow funded a robust share buyback program that has reduced the share count by roughly 1.5% on average for both the quarter and the year. That pace appears likely to continue in 2026, which would boost per‑share results.

Institutional interest reinforces Uber’s investment case. Institutions own more than 80% of UBER shares and were net buyers throughout 2025, providing a support base and tailwind for the stock.

The trend continued in early Q1 2026, with trading activity skewed to buying—about $2 bought for every $1 sold—suggesting strong support at levels that align with technical targets.

On the analyst front, some price targets were moderated after the guidance update, but the overall outlook did not change materially.

There is some concern about near-term margin pressure, but strong bookings, operational leadership, pricing power, and longer-term forecasts outweigh that worry.

Analyst consensus remains a Moderate Buy and sentiment is firming. The consensus price target has risen roughly 20% over the past 12 months and implies about 40% upside toward new all‑time highs.

Uber Points to Hard Bottom After Guidance Update

At first glance UBER’s price action doesn’t look bullish—shares fell a modest amount—but a closer look shows support at critical levels.

Both the daily and week‑to‑date candles show support with long lower wicks—the daily lower wick is notably longer than the upper one. That pattern suggests the market is uncertain but reluctant to accept lower prices. The stock can rebound quickly from here, though it also risks breaking its trend and becoming range‑bound until stronger catalysts emerge.
