Coupang Slides on Q2 Profit and Cash-Flow Miss
Coupang (NYSE:CPNG) took a hit after reporting a mixed Q2 and softer cash flow, edging down 4.3% in after-hours trading. Revenue topped estimates at $8.5 billion, up 16% YoY (19% FX-neutral), with Product Commerce at $7.3 billion (+14%) and Developing Offerings at $1.2 B (+33%). Adjusted EBITDA rose to $428 million from $330 million, and gross profit climbed 20% FX-neutral to $2.6 billion, lifting margins by 79 bps to 30%. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 7 Warning Signs with CPNG. Despite the top-line strength, EPS came in at $0.02 vs. the $0.07 consensus, marking a squeeze after last year's -$0.04 loss. The cash story also disappointed: trailing-12-month operating cash flow fell $297 million to $1.9 billion, while free cash flow plunged $729 million to $784 million, driven by capex timing and working-capital swings the company expects to normalize by year-end. Investors will be watching how quickly Coupang's cash flow stabilizes and whether management's cost controls and capex pacing can shore up FCF. The next read on efficiency should come with Q3 results and updated guidance later this fall. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

Unity Q2 Preview: Can Create and Ads Fuel a Turnaround?
Unity Software (NYSE:U) reports Q2 2025 earnings before market open on August 6. Analysts expect adjusted EPS $0.14 per share on revenue of $427 million, representing around a 5% decline year-over-year and a 48% EPS decline from Q2 2024's $0.27 per share. Shares are up roughly 26% YTD but still trade 20% below its 52 week highs made on July 17 2025. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 9 Warning Signs with U. Investor focus will be on segment performance and cost leverage. The Create business, particularly game development workflows, saw softening demand in Q1. Renewed strength there would matter. On the monetization side, Unity Ads and Vector, its AI-powered advertising solution, will be in focus as investors gauge whether Unity can maintain ad traction amid broader skepticism over profitability. Analysts will watch margin execution and progress toward sustainable contribution from Grow-related revenue. Execution risks remain elevated. Unity trades at 43 FCF, but continues to face pressure from high cash burn. Investors need to see tangible cost reductions and liquidity runway if the company is going to justify that valuation while scaling toward profitability. With execution stakes high, Q2 commentary must balance early signs of growth recovery with concrete visibility on cost discipline and cash flow management. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

Uber Q2 Preview: Can Ride Hails & Eats Handle Robotaxi Disruption?
Uber (NYSE:UBER) will report Q2 2025 earnings after the market close on August 6. Analysts expect earnings of $0.63 per share and revenue of roughly $12.5 billion, a 17% top-line growth YoY. Shares are up 40% year-to-date but have fallen more than 10% since hitting a 52-week high in June, suggesting high expectations that now face a test. Investor focus will fall on mobility versus delivery performance and margin leverage. Ride-share volume, take rate stability, and profitability in Eats remain critical. Any sign of pricing or operational tension could dampen enthusiasm. Uber guided between $45.75 and $47.25 billion in gross bookings for Q2, implying 16% to 20% YoY growth. Daily average bookings per consumer (MAPCs) and overall trip volume trends will be closely watched, especially as the rides and Eats profit mix shifts toward scalable cash flow. Robotaxi competition is intensifying. Uber's partnership with Lucid (NASDAQ:LCID) and Nuro's autonomous system creates a long-term plan to deploy 20,000 Lucid vehicles with Level 4 autonomy starting in 2026. Meanwhile, Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL) Waymo continues scaling independently, launching in new markets like Dallas in 2026 without Uber's app support, and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) has quietly begun trials in Austin with supervised robotaxis, aiming to expand to multiple states by mid-2026. Investors will weigh whether Uber's multi-partner robotaxi approach drives differentiation or signals strategic dilution. With ride-hail and delivery expected to support near-term cash flow and robotaxi ambitions guiding long-term upside, Q2 results and the call will need to balance tactical strength with strategic clarity.
