Uber and Lyft's earnings should show how the companies are dealing with a continuously changing ride-hailing environment. Ride-hailing volume in the U.S. still appeared to be down about 40% over the past two years, one analysis shows.
Uber Technologies Inc. UBER, +1.32% and Lyft Inc. LYFT, +3.77% are scheduled to release fourth-quarter results next week that should show how the companies are dealing with a continuously changing ride-hailing environment. Lyft will report Tuesday afternoon, and Uber follows on Wednesday.
Uber will also be affected by the changing status of food delivery, with growth appearing to slow there, at least according to some analyst data. Uber’s Eats division helped the company when demand for rides plummeted because of lockdowns and has grown into a business whose revenue has exceeded that of its rides business, so analysts will be watching what Uber says about how slowing delivery growth may affect the company’s bottom line.
Stock movement: Uber stock has fallen after reporting earnings in two of the past four quarters, and five of the 11 reports it has made since going public. Uber shares are down 4.7% so far this year through Friday’s session, while the S&P 500 index SPX, -0.37% has lost 5.2%. Stock movement: Lyft stock has fallen after reporting earnings in two of the past four quarters, and six of the 11 reports it has made since going public. Lyft shares have fallen 4.9% so far this year through Friday.
Raymond James analysts said they expect “solid overall bookings for Uber in part due to acquisitions over the last year and expect [mid- to high-] teens growth in 2022.” They said they saw slower sequential growth in bookings for Lyft in the fourth quarter.
