Uber (UBER.US) stock jumped nearly 10.0% during today's session after the ride sharing company said it could post its first adjusted profit in the third-quarter. Uber revealed in a SEC filing that it now expected third-quarter adjusted results before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization to range from a loss of $25 million to a profit of $25 million. This figure results in a significant improvement in the firm’s bottom-line profitability compared to a previously forecasted $100 million negative adjusted EBITDA.
Also Uber now expects to report between $22.8 billion and $23.2 billion in gross bookings for the third quarter, adjusted from the $22 billion to $24 billion it predicted on its second-quarter earnings call. However, Uber still has to prove it can handle overcoming pressure from regulators around the world over how the company treats and classifies its employees - currently as independent contractors - and any failure on that particular front could impact the company's ability to deliver positive results in the future.
