On August 3, Aurora Innovation rose 5.12% in regular trading, trading at $6.78/share, with turnover of $62.03 million. The rally was driven by continued repricing of the company's Q2 earnings results, which showed revenue doubling year-over-year and significantly exceeding market expectations.
Aurora Innovation reported Q2 revenue of $2 million, up from $1 million a year earlier and well above the analyst consensus estimate of $1.7 million. The company maintained its full-year revenue guidance of $14 million to $16 million, in line with market expectations of $14.5 million. While EPS loss of $0.14 missed the $0.12 estimate, the stock had previously declined over 5% to digest the earnings miss, and the market is now refocusing on revenue momentum and commercialization milestones.
On the business front, Aurora recently launched driverless commercial hauls in Texas for McLane, a Berkshire Hathaway subsidiary, and expanded autonomous freight routes with Volvo to Oklahoma City. Oppenheimer noted the company is years ahead of competitors in fully self-driving commercial vehicles, while Northland Securities assigned an $11 price target with an Outperform rating.
