$1.6bn of Uber's $2.4bn second-quarter profit is a mark-up on stakes it holds
Q2 2026 10-Q: gross bookings $58.0bn (+24%), revenue $14.2bn (+12%). Net income rose 77%, but most of that came from remeasuring stakes it holds rather than from rides and deliveries
Uber (UBER) reported revenue of $14,191m for the second quarter of 2026, up 12% from a year earlier, and operating income of $1,890m. Net income rose 77% to $2,394m — and the other-income table in the 10-Q filed on August 5 shows that the increase came not from operations but from changes in the book value of stakes Uber holds.
In plain terms
A large part of the profit Uber reported this quarter did not come from rides or deliveries. It is an amount recorded because stakes it holds in other companies became more valuable. Nothing was sold, so no money arrived.
