Uber’s Q3 Shows Record Profits Mask Growth Concerns as Stock Takes a Hit

Despite posting impressive profits, Uber’s stock tumbled 9% after its Q3 results revealed some interesting patterns in the post-pandemic ride-hailing and delivery landscape. Let’s dive into the details:

The Big Numbers:

  • Revenue: $11.19B (beating expectations by $210M)
  • Net Income: $2.6B (a massive jump from $221M last year)
  • EPS: $1.20 (nearly tripling analyst expectations)
  • Monthly Active Users: 161M (up 13% year-over-year)

Uber’s dramatic profit increase comes with a caveat – $1.7B of it stems from unrealized gains from investment revaluations. However, their adjusted EBITDA of $1.69B shows genuine operational strength, up 55% year-over-year.

Segment Breakdown:

  • Mobility (Rides):
    • $21B in bookings (up 17%)
    • Revenue hit $6.41B (exceeding forecasts)
    • Showing strong post-pandemic recovery
  • Delivery:
    • $18.7B in bookings (up 16%)
    • Revenue reached $3.47B (beating expectations)
    • Maintaining growth despite reopening headwinds
  • Freight:
    • $1.31B revenue (modest 2% growth)
    • Showing resilience in challenging logistics market

Despite these strong numbers, Wall Street’s concerns centred on gross bookings ($40.97B) missing expectations ($41.25B). This metric is crucial as it indicates future growth potential.

CEO Dara Khosrowshahi is playing it safe, focusing on organic growth and smaller acquisitions rather than major deals like the rumoured Expedia bid. They’re leveraging their core business strength to invest in new capabilities.

Looking Ahead: Q4 Guidance:

  • Bookings: $42.75B-$44.25B
  • Adjusted EBITDA: $1.78B-$1.88B These projections suggest continued growth, though perhaps not at the pace some investors hoped for.

While Uber’s showing impressive profitability and solid growth across segments, investors seem concerned about the pace of expansion and whether the company can maintain its growth trajectory in an increasingly competitive market.”
