On August 5, Uber declined 4.7% in regular trading, trading at $68.695/share, with turnover of $513 million. The stock had initially risen over 3% in pre-market before reversing sharply following the release of second-quarter earnings.
The decline was driven by a combination of a slight Q2 revenue miss and softer-than-expected Q3 guidance. Uber reported Q2 revenue of $14.19 billion, falling short of the $14.24 billion consensus estimate. Adjusted EPS of $0.81 met expectations, representing a 28.6% year-over-year increase. Total gross bookings of $58.02 billion exceeded the $57.17 billion estimate. However, the forward outlook weighed on sentiment: Q3 adjusted EPS guidance of $0.84-$0.88 came in below the $0.89 street estimate, while gross bookings guidance of $58.25-$60.25 billion placed the midpoint below the $59.32 billion consensus.
On the strategic front, management highlighted plans to invest over $10 billion in autonomous vehicle commercialization and expand robotaxi operations from seven to fifteen cities by year-end, while reaffirming Waymo as a critical partner amid recent reports of partnership tensions.
