Uber Technologies, Inc. reported third-quarter results for the period ended September 30, 2026, on Wednesday, November 4. The company said in a Business Wire release that Gross Bookings rose 20 percent year over year to 59.819 billion US dollars.

Bookings and usage set records

Revenue increased 10 percent to 14.766 billion US dollars. Trips climbed 16 percent to 4.061 billion, while Monthly Active Platform Consumers rose 14 percent to 215 million. Uber said this marked its fifth consecutive quarter with Gross Bookings growth of at least 20 percent.

Growth was broad-based across the operating segments. Mobility Gross Bookings advanced 18 percent to 29.512 billion US dollars, Delivery Gross Bookings gained 22 percent to 28.539 billion US dollars and Freight Gross Bookings increased 35 percent to 1.768 billion US dollars. Mobility revenue declined 2 percent to 7.520 billion US dollars, while Delivery revenue grew 23 percent to 5.488 billion US dollars and Freight revenue rose 34 percent to 1.758 billion US dollars.

Profitability improves despite earnings distortion

Adjusted EBITDA increased 31 percent to 2.963 billion US dollars, and Non-GAAP Operating Income rose 38 percent to 2.304 billion US dollars. Non-GAAP earnings per share advanced 35 percent to 0.88 US dollars.

GAAP net income attributable to Uber fell to 512 million US dollars from 6.626 billion US dollars a year earlier, with diluted GAAP earnings per share at 0.25 US dollars. The comparison was affected by a 4.9 billion US dollar tax valuation benefit and a 1.5 billion US dollar investment revaluation gain in the prior-year quarter. Uber recorded a 476 million US dollar pretax loss from investment revaluations in the latest quarter.

Q4 outlook keeps focus on scale

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. Non-GAAP earnings per share are expected at 0.95 to 0.99 US dollars, while Adjusted EBITDA is forecast at 3.13 billion to 3.23 billion US dollars.

Chief Executive Dara Khosrowshahi said Uber was investing to expand Mobility supply, build on Delivery momentum and deepen engagement across the platform. He also said the company expects approximately 700 fully driverless vehicles on Uber by year-end and more than 2,000 in 2027. Chief Financial Officer Balaji Krishnamurthy highlighted record Non-GAAP Operating Income margins of 3.9 percent of Gross Bookings.

The real-time quote of Uber Technologies stock was 59.55 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 14:43 CET on Wednesday, November 4, 2026.

For investors, the report combines sustained platform demand with faster adjusted profit growth, but the lower Mobility revenue and the effect of investment revaluations make the quality of GAAP earnings important. The Q4 bookings range and the pace of autonomous vehicle deployment are the next operational markers.
