Uber’s second-quarter results have surpassed Wall Street expectations, fueled by a robust demand for its ride-sharing and food-delivery services. The company’s shares rose by 5% on Tuesday following the announcement.

As more individuals return to offices and engage in outdoor activities, ride-sharing demand has surged, benefiting Uber and its competitor Lyft. Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said, “Mobility had a standout second quarter … growth was consistent across use cases and geographic strength was led by LatAm and APAC, in particular Brazil, Australia, and India.”

In the quarter, trips by self-driving vehicles on Uber’s platform were six times higher, driven by partnerships with companies like Alphabet’s Waymo for rideshare and food delivery, as well as startup Waabi for freight services.

Uber reported a 16% increase in revenue to $10.70 billion for the quarter ending June, exceeding analysts’ expectations of $10.57 billion. The company’s gross bookings rose by 19% to $39.95 billion, also surpassing the anticipated $39.68 billion. Uber posted a profit of 47 cents per share, beating the projected 31 cents per share.

The ride-sharing segment, Uber’s largest revenue contributor, saw a 25% increase to $6.13 billion, surpassing forecasts of $5.94 billion. The delivery business reported revenue of $3.29 billion, slightly below the expected $3.32 billion. Khosrowshahi commented, “While there have been some concerns about consumer spend on restaurants and delivery, we are not seeing any impact today,” noting that expanded grocery partnerships with Instacart and Costco are boosting delivery services.

Looking ahead, Uber forecast third-quarter gross bookings, including its mobility, delivery, and freight segments, to be between $40.25 billion and $41.75 billion. This midpoint is below analysts’ estimates of $41.26 billion. Evercore ISI lead analyst Mark Mahaney stated, “We would expect forward gross bookings and EBITDA estimates to rise modestly based on Q2 results and the Q3 guide.”

Uber projected adjusted core earnings between $1.58 billion and $1.68 billion for the third quarter, aligning closely with the expected $1.62 billion. Meanwhile, Lyft’s shares increased by nearly 2%, with their quarterly results scheduled for release on Wednesday.
