Uber flags softer Q3 profit outlook and plans more than $10 billion in autonomous-vehicle spending
AI Market Summary
Uber guided to slightly softer Q3 profit versus consensus while gross bookings outlook was broadly in line, tempering near-term margin expectations despite a Q2 beat on bookings and adjusted EBITDA. Management's plan to invest over $10B in autonomous vehicles implies higher multi-year capex and execution risk, reinforcing a trade-off between growth initiatives and profitability. Shares weakened premarket as operating costs continue to rise.
