On August 7, Uber rose 3.11% in regular trading, trading at $70.23/share, with turnover of $955 million. The stock is staging an oversold recovery after falling more than 5% over the prior two sessions following its Q2 earnings release.
The rebound comes as the market digests Uber's mixed Q2 results. Revenue of $14.19 billion slightly missed the $14.24 billion consensus, while total gross bookings of $58.02 billion exceeded the $57.17 billion estimate. Adjusted EPS of $0.81 met expectations. CEO Dara Khosrowshahi attributed the revenue shortfall to a UK accounting change, calling it not a fundamental issue. He emphasized that consumer spending remains healthy with no signs of trade-down behavior.
The initial sell-off was also driven by softer Q3 guidance, with projected adjusted EPS of $0.84-$0.88 below the $0.89 consensus. Analysts at D.A. Davidson and Oppenheimer cut price targets to $100 and $90 respectively, though the average target remains at $104.66. Additionally, Uber announced plans to invest over $10 billion in autonomous vehicles over the coming years, expanding operations to 15 markets by year-end.
