Uber Technologies (UBER) is set to report fourth-quarter earnings before the bell Wednesday, with revenue projected to have grown year-over-year but profit to have declined.

Uber is expected to report a roughly 18% year-over-year revenue gain to $11.76 billion, according to estimates compiled by Visible Alpha. However, the company's net income is projected to have declined by 27% to $1.04 billion, as its Q4 2023 profit included a $1 billion net benefit from a revaluation of its equity investments.
