While investors scrutinize revenue and earnings changes year-over-year and how they compare with Wall Street expectations to determine their next move, some key metrics always offer a more accurate picture of a company's financial health.

Here is how Maplebear performed in the just reported quarter in terms of the metrics most widely monitored and projected by Wall Street analysts:
Gross Transaction Value (GTV): $9.12 billion compared to the $9.08 billion average estimate based on nine analysts.

Compared to Estimates, Maplebear (CART) Q1 Earnings: A Look at Key Metrics

Maplebear (CART) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.37 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.38 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.43 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -2.63%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this operator of the Instacart grocery delivery service would post earnings of $0.37 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.53, delivering a surprise of 43.24%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.
Maplebear, which belongs to the Zacks Internet - Commerce industry, posted revenues of $897 million for the quarter ended March 2025, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.16%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $820 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Maplebear shares have lost about 3.7% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's decline of -5.3%.
What's Next for Maplebear?
While Maplebear has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Maplebear: unfavorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.32 on $892.43 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $1.58 on $3.66 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Internet - Commerce is currently in the top 37% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
One other stock from the same industry, PSQ Holdings, Inc. (PSQH), is yet to report results for the quarter ended March 2025. The results are expected to be released on May 8.
This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.30 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +18.9%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
PSQ Holdings, Inc.'s revenues are expected to be $6.84 million, up 97.1% from the year-ago quarter.

CART Crosses Below Key Moving Average Level

Uber Technologies Company Overview
Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock Uber Technologies (UBER) is the dominant player in the North American ride-sharing business. Beyond the United States, Uber has expanded its business into multiple worldwide areas, including Canada, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia (excluding China). Through its mobile application and vast network of drivers, Uber offers various services to customers based on details like the number of riders, vehicle style, pets or no pets, and rushed services (for a higher fee). In addition, Uber has diversified into the delivery business.
Uber Eats Booms
While the COVID-19 pandemic upended many businesses, Uber benefitted. Because of stay-at-home policies, food delivery services like Uber Eats and DoorDash (DASH) have seen online order volumes surge. Even after economies reopened, the habit of placing orders online has stuck – especially among the younger generations. Meanwhile, in a recently announced multi-year partnership, Delta (DAL) SkyMiles members can earn miles on Uber rides and Uber Eats deliveries. Meanwhile, Uber Ears has partnerships with Costco (COST), Domino’s (DPZ), MapleBear (CART) (Instacart) and countless others.
Uber & Waymo Partnership
A bearish argument against UBER is that autonomous robotaxis will replace UBER. However, Uber has partnered with the leader in autonomous taxis, Alphabet’s (GOOGL) Waymo. Waymo is currently the only active robotaxi service in the US and is available in multiple states. Customers can book Waymo robotaxis through the regular Uber app, maintaining the familiar Uber experience.
Improving Fundamentals
UBER has finally scaled to the level where it is a consistently profitable business. In 2023, UBER finally turned a profit; since then, it hasn’t looked back.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Another positive sign is that with improved cash flows, UBER management is intent on rewarding shareholders. Last year, the company announced a massive $7 billion buyback program – the first in company history.
Stellar Relative Strength
Uber shares are holding up extremely well compared to the general market and its main competitor, Lyft (LYFT). Year-to-date, UBER shares are up 21.7%, while LYFT has sunk 17%, and the S&P 500 is down 12.44%.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Should the market rebound, UBER is poised to morph into a leader.
Bottom Line
Uber Technologies has morphed into a fundamental market leader with consistent profitability. In addition, a share buyback program, robust relative stock performance, and a dominant position in the ride-sharing and food delivery markets put the stock in a strong position for the remainder of 2025.

Maplebear (CART) Shares Cross Above 200 DMA

Guru Fundamental Report for CART

Like much of the streaming sector, Roku (NASDAQ: ROKU) stock surged during the pandemic.
The company was a major beneficiary of the stay-at-home effects of the crisis. Its user base soared, along with streaming subscription signups and digital advertising on the platform. 2022 brought a cold dose of reality to the stock, and shares plunged as growth cooled and the company ramped up spending at precisely the wrong time.

Since then, the stock has languished under $100 a share, but its fourth-quarter earnings report earlier in February showed perhaps the strongest sign of life yet since the pandemic.
Overall revenue jumped 22% to $1.2 billion, topping estimates at $1.15 billion. Platform revenue, which is made up primarily of advertising and subscription fees, jumped 25% to $1.04 billion, a strong indicator of momentum in the business.
The company also did a better job of monetizing its users as average revenue per user rose 4% to $41.49 in the quarter. Growing that figure will be key to its future success, since it's already signed up half of the broadband households in the United States.
On the bottom line, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) jumped 62% to $77.5 million. Looking ahead, Roku's guidance for 2025 called for revenue of $4.61 billion, up 12% from 2024, and it expects adjusted EBITDA of $350 million, up from $260 million in the quarter. It also said it expects positive operating income in 2026.
Turning the corner
Roku's value proposition has long confused some investors, but it's not as complicated as it seems.
It loses money selling its devices so it can make money through advertising and partner subscriptions that it sells on its platform. The company ultimately makes money on engagement, and in the fourth quarter, a number of initiatives it's long touted started to pay off.
One area it's capitalizing on is its home page. That might sound insignificant, but it's the gateway to TV for more than 125 million people, making it valuable space for advertising and anything Roku wants to promote. It added a new AI-powered content row on the top of the home screen to recommend content, and it's integrated sports content throughout the home page, helping to drive consumption of sports.
The Roku Channel is also experiencing strong growth with streaming hours up 82%. That's important because it gives the company a large set of advertising inventory that it wholly owns. The more Roku Channel consumption grows, the greater the company's ability to monetize it is. In the fourth quarter, it added a new partnership with the NBA G League and also launched integrated ad campaign with Coca-Cola and PepsiCo.
Finally, it added premium subscriptions for a number of services, including Max, allowing users to subscribe in the Roku app, driving strong growth in distribution revenue.
The company is expanding its retail partnerships as well. For example, it's partnered with Instacart to guide users to buy packaged food and beverages featured on ads through Instacart.
What's next for Roku
Roku still has a long growth runway in front of it, and a lot of opportunities to monetize it.
The company has the No. 1 streaming app in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, and it's growing across Latin America as well. Management said it will stop reporting numbers on streaming households and hours each quarter, so investors will have to sharpen their focus on the financial numbers instead.
In addition, the headwinds across the streaming sector finally seem to be lifting as the long post-pandemic hangover fades.
After bemoaning headwinds in the media and entertainment (M&E) vertical in earlier quarters, the company has diversified its mix of advertisers to mitigate that risk, but it also said that M&E is healthier and expected to grow in 2025.
Overall, Roku is growing where it needs to grow, and many of its earlier challenges seem to have faded away. It's given investors an operating profit target, and it still has a large addressable market to penetrate.
If the company can maintain the momentum from the fourth quarter, 2025 could be a big year for the streaming distribution leader.
