Uber Q3 Adjusted EPS Misses Estimates as Q4 Outlook Falls Short
Uber's Q3 adjusted EPS missed estimates ($0.86-$0.91) but revenue ($14.67-$14.74B) beat forecasts. Q4 EPS outlook also fell short. Gross bookings rose 24% YoY to $58B, while adjusted EBITDA increased 33% to $2.8B. Inflation and fuel costs impacted ride-hailing and delivery. Uber aims for autonomous-vehicle operations in 15 cities by year-end 2026.
