Despite reporting the strongest quarter ever, Uber Technologies’ stock plunged 7.6% after the release of its Q4 results on Feb. 5. Driven by record demand for mobility as well as delivery, Uber’s revenues surged 20.4% year-over-year to approximately $12 billion, exceeding the Street’s expectations by 1.7%. Meanwhile, its income from operations increased by a notable 18.1% year-over-year to $770 million. Furthermore, the company reported a staggering 122.1% year-over-year growth in free cash flows, totaling $1.7 billion.

However, due to a stronger dollar, Uber’s gross bookings growth guidance for Q1 2024 fell below the Street’s expectations, leading to a sharp decline in stock prices. Nonetheless, Uber stock rebounded 8.6% in the next trading session.

For the current fiscal year 2025, ending in December, analysts expect UBER's EPS to decline nearly 45% year-over-year to $2.51. The company's earnings surprise history is mixed. It beat the consensus estimates in three of the last four quarters while missing on another occasion.
