Uber Technologies stock was falling Wednesday after the ride-sharing company posted a first-quarter loss when analysts expected a profit. Uber reported a first-quarter adjusted loss of 32 cents a share on revenue of $10.13 billion. The net loss for the quarter was $654 million, which includes a $721 million headwind due to “unrealized losses related to the revaluation of Uber’s equity investments.”
The weakness in a key metric that indicates the total value of revenue earned on the Uber platform signals demand weakness for the company's ride-share and food delivery services. In contrast, smaller rival Lyft posted better-than-expected result and forecast strong second quarter on Tuesday, saying it saw an industry-wide pickup in ride-share demand. Lyft and Uber have been racing to increase their reach in the ride-share market of the United States and Canada, especially since Lyft hired David Risher as CEO in last April.
