UBER takes 25 FY EPS cuts in 7 days — FY consensus down 12.8% in 30 days after Q1 net income decline

  • Uber received 25 FY EPS cuts and only 3 upgrades in the last 7 days, with the FY EPS consensus falling 12.8% in 30 days (from $3.375 to $2.947) following Q1 net income of $263 million versus $1.78 billion a year earlier, though the decline was largely driven by a $1.5 billion pre-tax equity revaluation charge
