Uber, the popular on-demand transportation company, is now worth $40 billion thanks to a new funding round totaling $1.2 billion. Setting aside the fact that private, venture-backed company valuations are merely speculative until they go public, let’s compare Uber to some of the most valuable companies in the world: those on the Fortune 500.
Based on market capitalization data pulled today, Uber is now more valuable than 359 of the 469 publicly-traded companies on the Fortune 500, or about 77% of them. (That figure decreases to 72% if we add the 21 privately-held companies on the list. The catch is that we cannot determine the market capitalizations of those companies.)
Uber’s paper valuation is now higher than the following household-name companies:
Kraft Foods Group
Delta Air Lines
General Mills
CBS
Rite Aid
Macy’s
Viacom
Dollar General
Kellogg
KKR
Nordstrom
Halliburton Company
Archer-Daniels Midland Company
Omnicom Group
Charles Schwab Corporation
YUM! Brands
DISH Network
Aetna
Estee Lauder
Northrop Grumman Corporation
Kroger
Cardinal Health
Aflac Incorporated
Hilton Worldwide Holdings
L Brands
Hershey Company
ConAgra Foods
Whole Foods Market
Boston Scientific Corporation
Harley Davidson
Hormel Foods
Dollar Tree
Starwood Hotels & Resorts
Dr Pepper Snapple Group
Campbell Soup Company
Best Buy
Clorox
Hertz Global Holdings
MGM Resorts
Mattel
The Fortune 500 is based on the annual revenue of U.S.-based companies. Uber’s revenue figures are private, but a leak of Uber’s financials shows the company was expected to do $1 billion in transactions in 2013, and is on track to do $1.5 billion to $2 billion this year.
眼下Uber的估值为400亿美元,比半年前高了一倍多。关于Uber的负面消息似乎并未吓倒投资者,因为Uber正令他们大赚特赚。之前Uber估值为180亿美元时,该公司早期投资者的投资回报率就高达2000倍。
日前,热门打车软件公司Uber进行了新一轮融资,共募得12亿美元,该公司的估值也因此达到400亿美元。在上市之前,由风险投资支持的私营企业的市值不过是推测而已。但我们不妨暂时抛开这一点,将Uber与全球市值最高的一些企业——《财富》美国500强(Fortune 500)上榜企业做下比较。
根据12月4日采集的市值数据,在跻身《财富》美国500强的469家上市公司中,有359家公司的市值低于Uber,比例约77%。(假如我们将《财富》美国500强中的21家私有公司也考虑在内,这一比例会降至72%。这些私有公司的市值我们无法确定。)

《财富》美国500强是基于总部位于美国的公司,根据其年收入进行排名。Uber的营收数字未公开,但据一份泄露出的Uber财务数据显示,该公司2013年的交易额估计为10亿美元,今年,该数字有望达到15亿至20亿美元。
Uber takes an approximate 20% cut from its transactions. That cut of $2 billion in revenue would be $400 million, which is not enough to land Uber on the Fortune 500. Even $2 billion in gross revenue isn’t enough: No. 500 on this year’s list, United Rentals, had $4.9 billion in revenue last year.
With its nosebleed valuation, investors are betting on the four-year-old company’s rapid growth. Uber has been doubling its revenue every six months, according to comments made by CEO Travis Kalanick in June of this year. At $40 billion, Uber more than doubled its valuation from just six months ago. The company is likely bound for an IPO, even as it grapples with a bad reputation. Investors don’t seem phased by the company’s negative publicity, because Uber is making them filthy rich. At Uber’s previous $18 billion valuation, early investors were set to make 2000 times their investment. Now, at $40 billion, the “Uber Rich” are only getting richer.
Uber大约从交易额中抽取20%的提成。假设交易额为20亿美元,则Uber的提成为4亿美元,还不够达到《财富》美国500强的上榜门槛。即便按总营业额20亿美元来算,也不足以跻身美国500强。今年《财富》美国500强中的第500名是United Rentals公司,该公司上年营收49亿美元。
从Uber极高的估值可以看出,投资者坚信这家成立仅4年的公司将飞速发展。Uber首席执行官特拉维斯•卡兰尼克今年6月表示,该公司的收入每半年就翻一倍。眼下Uber的估值为400亿美元,比半年前高了一倍多。虽然Uber名声不大好,但该公司可能将进行首次公开发行(IPO)。关于Uber的负面消息似乎并未吓倒投资者,因为Uber正令他们大赚特赚。之前Uber估值为180亿美元时,该公司早期投资者的投资回报率就高达2000倍。如今,Uber的估值又涨到了400亿美元,Uber土豪们的财富也将愈加水涨船高。(财富中文网)
