Key Sectoral Players to Report Q2 results

Uber’s main competitor, Lyft (LYFT - Free Report) , is scheduled to report its second-quarter 2025 results on Aug. 6. The company has an Earnings ESP of 0.00% and a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) at present.

We expect Lyft's performance in the to-be-reported quarter to have been boosted by an uptick in total revenues. Its top-line growth is likely to have been driven by an increase in active riders as the ride-share market rebounds from the pandemic lows. High inflation might, however, hurt results in the to-be-reported quarter.

Another key player from the broader Computer and Technology sector, DoorDash (DASH - Free Report) , is scheduled to report second-quarter 2025 results on Aug. 6. DASH has an Earnings ESP of +3.03% and a Zacks Rank #1 at present.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s second-quarter 2025 revenues is pegged at $3.16 billion, indicating year-over-year growth of 20.3%. For earnings, the consensus mark is pegged at 42 cents per share, implying a rise of more than 100% from the year-ago quarter’s actual. The company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in two of the past four quarters and missed twice, with the average negative surprise being 48%.
