Uber Technologies (UBER - Free Report) is scheduled to report second-quarter 2023 results on Aug 1, before market open.

UBER has a disappointing earnings surprise history. Its earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in only two of the preceding four quarters (two miss), the average negative surprise being 108.2%.

Given this backdrop, let’s see how things are likely to have shaped up for Uber this earnings season.

We expect Uber’s delivery business to have performed impressively in second-quarter 2023. Management expects gross bookings in the $33-$34 billion band. Online order volumes are estimated to have surged. Our estimate for revenues from the Delivery segment is currently pegged at $2,882.5 million, implying an uptick of 7.2% from second-quarter 2022 actuals.

Moreover, with economies reopening and more people traveling to work and other places, ride-hailing services are forecast to have seen buoyant demand, in turn, benefiting Uber’s mobility business. Our prediction for revenues from the Mobility segment is currently pegged at $4,392 million, suggesting an increase of 23.6% from second-quarter 2022 levels.

On the flip side, high sales and marketing expenses, and costs associated with paying incentives to drivers due to changes in the business model in some countries are likely to have affected Uber’s bottom line in the June quarter.
