<p class="has-drop-cap">In today’s market, two tech giants are making waves: Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE: AMD) is <a href="https://tokenist.com/amd-announces-plan-to-acquire-europes-largest-private-ai-lab-shares-gain/" rel="dofollow" class="deco-link">set to acquire a major AI lab</a>, while Uber Technologies (NYSE: UBER) faces <a aria-label="potential regulation in Hong Kong (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-07-09/hong-kong-unveils-plan-to-regulate-uber-10-years-after-launch" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" class="deco-link">potential regulation in Hong Kong</a>. These developments are influencing their respective stock performances, with AMD’s shares gaining over the trading day and UBER shares dipping.</p>

<h3 id="uber-facing-regulatory-challenges-in-hong-kong">UBER: Facing Regulatory Challenges in Hong Kong</h3> 
<p>Uber’s stock declined 3.06% to $69.14 amid news that Hong Kong plans to regulate ride-hailing services after a decade of unregulated operation. The government intends to license platforms like Uber and introduce tougher penalties for rule-breaking. </p> 
<p>This development could significantly impact Uber’s operations in Hong Kong, where it currently has over 10,000 drivers but only 1,500 hire-car permits are available.</p> 
<p>Despite the news, Uber’s financial metrics remain strong, with a market cap of $144.37 billion and a year-to-date return of 12.22%. The company’s five-year return stands at 56.32%, and analysts maintain a strong buy recommendation with an average price target of $86.12.</p> <iframe src="https://tokenist.substack.com/embed" width="100%" height="320" style="border:1px solid #EEE; background:white;" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
