Uber issues weak Q3 bookings and earnings guidance
Uber reported second-quarter earnings roughly in line with expectations but issued weaker-than-expected guidance for the third quarter. Q2 EPS was $0.81 (in line) and revenue was $14.19 billion (slightly below the $14.24 billion consensus). Total bookings in Q2 were $58 billion, above StreetAccount estimates, but Uber’s Q3 bookings midpoint of $59.25 billion and EPS guidance of $0.84–$0.88 missed analysts’ averages. Uber said net income rose to $2.39 billion and highlighted mobility and delivery growth. The company reiterated large investments in autonomous vehicles, expecting to commit more than $10 billion, and announced a $14.8 billion agreement to acquire Germany’s Delivery Hero. Regulators in London cleared a step for Wayve to operate robotaxis with Private Hire Vehicle licenses.
KPMG Withdraws AI Report After Hallucination Errors
KPMG has removed a report titled "Redefining excellence in the age of agentic AI" after research group GPTZero and several organisations flagged factual inaccuracies the report attributed to their AI use. The report, originally published in October 2025, was found to contain errors that GPTZero and the Financial Times said likely stemmed from AI hallucinations. UBS, the UK’s National Health Service, Swiss Federal Railways and Transport for London told the FT the report’s claims about their AI usage were incorrect or misleading. KPMG said it pulled the document from its websites while it conducts an internal investigation and reiterated its guidelines requiring human oversight of AI-generated content. The article notes a similar recent withdrawal by EY over AI-related errors.
