Uber Technologies CEO Dara Khosrowshahi purchased 141,000 shares of UBER stock on September 10, 2026, in an open-market transaction, according to a Form 4 filed with the SEC. The shares were bought at $70.96 apiece, for a total outlay of $10,005,952.20.
Following the purchase, Khosrowshahi’s directly held stake in Uber stands at 1,367,100 shares. The filing lists the transaction as an open-market buy, meaning the CEO used his own funds to acquire the shares rather than receiving them through options, grants, or other compensation-linked mechanisms.
Part of a Broader Pattern at Uber
This purchase does not stand alone. Earlier in September, Uber insider Andrew Macdonald also bought shares in the open market, contributing to what our site previously flagged as a $5.3 million cluster of insider buying at the company. Multiple insiders purchasing shares within a short window is often treated by market watchers as a notable data point, since academic research on insider trading has found that clustered buying by multiple executives or directors tends to correlate with subsequent stock outperformance on average, though any individual filing is just one data point among many.
Khosrowshahi’s role as Chief Executive Officer places his transaction in a different category than routine director or officer purchases, given his direct oversight of company operations and strategy. A CEO committing personal capital at a specific share price is sometimes viewed by analysts as a signal of confidence in the business, though the filing itself makes no statement about future performance and should be read strictly as a disclosure of a completed transaction.
Uber has also drawn attention from outside its executive ranks. Congressional trading disclosures earlier this year showed the spouse of Representative Nancy Pelosi purchasing Uber call options worth up to $1 million, adding another layer of scrutiny to the stock’s ownership activity across different types of market participants.
This latest Form 4 filing is a matter of public record and reflects a completed transaction as reported to the SEC. It offers a snapshot of insider activity at Uber but is not intended, and should not be read, as guidance on whether to buy, hold, or sell shares of the company.
