The biggest overhang, besides bearish shorts, has been former CEO Travis Kalanick exiting his holdings since lockup expiration. Kalanick has sold about $2.1 billion worth of stock. He now has roughly just 600m worth of stock to sell.
While some view the former CEO selling as bearish, we disagree because he was pushed out. Kalanick hit the lotto and is cashing his chips in, just like WWE former CEO Adam Neumann. They are both narcissists and it's best Kalanick is gone.
While Kalanick has been selling, CEO Dara Khosrowshahi has been buying. This is bullish. He now owns 1.5 million shares and is betting on the stock having bottomed.
