Uber's second-quarter revenue beats on ride-sharing demand

Uber’s first-quarter loss may have just been a small detour. Last year, the ride-share giant finally turned an annual profit after years and years of burning billions, only to slip back into the red in the first quarter of 2024.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law.

For decades, FedEx and UPS essentially functioned as a duopoly in the U.S. parcel delivery market. With few challengers, they made lots of money. The second-quarter earnings release from UPS on July 23 shocked many investors, resulting in the stock dropping 12% within minutes of the earnings call.
