Uber Technologies reported strong platform growth but mixed business signals for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026. In its quarterly results release published on November 4, the company said Gross Bookings rose 20 percent year over year to 59.819 billion US dollars.

Bookings Growth Remains Broad

Revenue increased 10 percent to 14.766 billion US dollars, while trips rose 16 percent to 4.1 billion. Monthly active platform consumers increased 14 percent to 215 million. Adjusted EBITDA grew 31 percent to 2.963 billion US dollars, lifting the margin against Gross Bookings to 5.0 percent from 4.5 percent a year earlier.

The operating picture was uneven across the platform. Mobility Gross Bookings grew 18 percent to 29.51 billion US dollars, while Delivery Gross Bookings increased 22 percent to 28.54 billion US dollars. Freight Gross Bookings rose 35 percent to 1.77 billion US dollars. At the revenue level, however, Mobility declined 2 percent to 7.52 billion US dollars, while Delivery revenue increased 23 percent to 5.49 billion US dollars, according to CNBC.

Profitability And Guidance In Focus

CNBC reported adjusted earnings of 88 cents per share, ahead of the 86-cent analyst estimate, while revenue also exceeded expectations. GAAP net income was 512 million US dollars, down sharply from the prior-year period, when a large tax valuation release boosted earnings. Uber said the latest quarter included a 476 million US dollar pretax loss from equity-investment revaluations.

For the fourth quarter, Uber expects Gross Bookings of 63.25 billion to 65.25 billion US dollars, representing constant-currency growth of 18 percent to 22 percent. Adjusted EBITDA is projected at 3.13 billion to 3.23 billion US dollars, while non-GAAP earnings are expected at 95 to 99 cents per share. The outlook includes an estimated one-percentage-point currency headwind to reported growth.

Uber also said the conflict in the Middle East reduced Mobility Gross Bookings growth by 75 basis points in the third quarter and is assumed to create a 100-basis-point drag in the fourth quarter. That leaves driver supply, regional demand and the pace of platform investment as key variables for the next report.
