Uber Technologies Sees 4Q Gross Bookings $63.25B-$65.25B >UBER

What happened

Uber Technologies expects fourth-quarter gross bookings of $63.25 billion to $65.25 billion. Gross bookings are the total value of rides and other services arranged through its platform, before accounting for Uber’s revenue or costs.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

Gross bookings indicate the scale of customer activity on Uber’s platform, but they are not the same as revenue or profit. If the forecast is met, the resulting activity could support revenue; costs and the share Uber retains will determine the effect on earnings and cash available.

Analyst inference

The supplied information gives only Uber’s fourth-quarter gross bookings forecast, without a comparison to earlier guidance, analyst expectations, or reported results. Investors therefore cannot tell from this item alone whether the range signals faster growth or a change in expected revenue or costs.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. Compare reported fourth-quarter gross bookings with the $63.25 billion to $65.25 billion forecast to see whether platform activity landed within, above, or below the range. Analyst inference
2. Look for any later update to the forecast, since a changed range would alter expectations for the value of rides and other services arranged through Uber. Analyst inference
3. Check reported revenue, costs, and profit alongside bookings; these figures show how much of the platform activity translates into earnings and cash available. Analyst inference
