This week in business featured major updates from several high-profile companies. Uber Technologies reported a 14% year-over-year increase in Q1 revenue, totaling $13.20 billion, although it fell short of the estimated $13.29 billion. The company also posted adjusted earnings of 72 cents per share, despite a significant decline in GAAP net income, which fell 85% to $263 million due to equity investment revaluations. Meanwhile, Tesla Inc. announced a recall of over 218,000 vehicles in the United States, affecting various models from 2017 to 2023, due to a delay in rearview camera images. Lucid Group reported Q1 revenue of $282.47 million, a 20% increase, but it did not meet the expected $440.43 million, resulting in an adjusted loss of $2.82 per share. In a unique move, Spirit Airlines is considering a fan-led buyout plan inspired by the Green Bay Packers, attracting $88 million in pledges. Finally, Toyota Motor Corp. forecasted a 22% drop in profit, anticipating a $4.3 billion impact from the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and U.S. tariffs, projecting an operating income decrease of over 3.8 trillion yen (approximately $24 billion) for the 2025-26 fiscal year.
