When is Uber’s earnings date?

Uber Technologies (UBER) will issue its second quarterly earnings report before the market opens on Tuesday, August 2nd.

Uber Q2, 2022 earnings: What to expect?

Uber Technologies is expected to deliver another loss in earnings for the second quarter in a row even though its revenue is set to move 87% higher from a year ago.

This ride-hailing company is expected to post a quarterly loss of $0.05 per share during the year's second quarter while its quarterly revenues are expected to be $7.35 billion, jumping 7% from $6.85 billion in the previous quarter.

What is Uber's key challenge?

In the first quarter's earnings report, Uber was pleased to announce the company had recovered from its pandemic lows and wouldn't have to put up 'significant' investments to keep drivers on the platform. However, the business still reported a $5.9 billion loss during the year's first three months and did not forecast a profitable quarter for the upcoming report.

For the second quarter, Uber anticipated gross bookings of between $28.5 billion and $29.5 billion. the EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) assumption is to be between $240 million and $270 million.

On the positive side, Uber's mobility revenue has now surpassed the delivery revenue that the business relied on throughout the pandemic. The segment has earned an encouraging 58% increase in revenue over the year and its monthly active platform consumers have reached 115 million, up 17% yearly. Both trends are anticipated to continue to deliver the upside for the second quarter.

However, rising costs are a prominent challenge for Uber now.

Uber's driver-intensive business model has struggled with supply and demand since the Covid-19 pandemic took drivers off the road. As a result, Uber had to rely on incentives to bring drivers back which ate into its financials. In addition, the historically low unemployment rate across many regions is only making the labour shortage issue even worse.

In addition to that is the fuel price, the war in Ukraine has caused significant hikes in fuel prices thus making drivers even more reluctant to operate to their full capacity. To keep their drivers, the company would have to pour millions of dollars worth of incentives which would risk further deteriorating Uber's profitability.

Uber share price: technical analysis

Uber’s share price has fallen more than 45% from January. In July, its price recorded a new low since March 2020 and on the weekly chart, it is clear that the price is sliding along with the descending trajectory which was formed last September. The lower boundary, where the price is moving closer too should be viewed as mid-term support.

From the daily chart, it looks like the price has recently failed to break through the key resistance at $24.20 while the support from the 20-day SMA is now in focus.

The current bear-biased momentum looks likely to stay intact as the RSI suggests to paint another lower high to glue the share price into its downward-moving tunnel.

This comprehensive analysis employs Elliott Wave theory to offer insights into potential market trends and price action. The primary focus of this analysis is to identify countertrend movements within the currency pair.   The chosen function for this analysis is "main Counter Trend," emphasizing the examination of market movements that oppose the prevailing trend. This approach aims to pinpoint potential corrections within the broader market structure.   The specified mode for this analysis is "corrective," signaling an expectation of corrective price movements. Corrective waves typically denote temporary interruptions in the existing trend, often hinting at a trend reversal or the emergence of a new trend.   The market structure under scrutiny is labeled as "C of Y." This designates the specific wave sequence within the Elliott Wave framework that is currently being analyzed. Understanding and interpreting wave sequences are fundamental to deciphering potential market dynamics.   In terms of position, the analysis refers to "Z of 2," providing context regarding the current wave position within the broader Elliott Wave structure. This indicates a focus on the development of this particular wave sequence.   The direction specified for the next higher degree is "Red wave 3," highlighting the analysis's concentration on monitoring and interpreting the upcoming Red wave 3 within the larger Elliott Wave framework.   The details provided in the analysis note that "wave C of Y of Z" is currently in play and approaching its potential conclusion. This suggests that the corrective wave sequence is nearing its final stages. The "Major Wave Cancel invalid level" is identified as 151.983, serving as a critical reference point for risk management and potential trade entry or exit levels.   In summary, the USDJPY Elliott Wave Analysis on 3 October 23, indicates an ongoing corrective phase within the Elliott Wave framework, with a primary focus on the developing "wave C of Y of Z." Traders and investors are advised to closely monitor this wave's progression and consider the specified invalid level for risk management purposes. This analysis is particularly valuable for those seeking trading opportunities within the USDJPY currency pair, especially if they aim to capitalize on counter trend movements.   Technical Analyst : Malik Awais Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!
