BofA Securities analyst Justin Post reiterated a Buy rating on Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:UBER), with a price forecast of $87.
The company will hold its quarterly conference call on Tuesday, August 6th, to discuss its second quarter 2024 financial results.
The analyst projects stable 21% growth in bookings excluding foreign exchange, with total bookings, revenue, and EBITDA expected to reach $39.7 billion, $10.6 billion, and $1.52 billion, respectively.
BAC aggregated credit & debit card data suggests stable second-quarter mobility growth trends and improving growth in Online Restaurants following a soft April.
While macro weakness is a risk for Uber Delivery, increasing penetration & New Verticals growth should help offset, the analyst adds.

Per the analyst, Uber plans to emphasize recent positive developments to boost sentiment:
1) Delay of its robotaxi event indicates early development stages (competition angle);
2) Costco Wholesale Corporation‘s (NASDAQ:COST) delivery partnership with Uber is expected to drive growth;
3) Uber’s settlement with MA regulators and favorable California court ruling on Prop 22.
For the third quarter, the analyst sees that comps are tougher, and with data suggesting cracks in lower-income restaurant & travel spending and Freight weakness, the analyst projects some year over year deceleration, and lower bookings to $41.2 billion from $41.7 billion.
For the third quarter guidance, the analyst projects a bookings guidance range of $40.0 billion-$41.5 billion (vs. Street at $41.3 billion) and EBITDA of $1.56 billion-$1.64 billion.
