Uber shares fall as strong dollar hits bookings outlook

Ride-hailing group’s weaker forecast comes after record fourth quarter

Uber’s shares fell as much as 7 per cent on Wednesday as the ride-hailing group booked weaker fourth-quarter earnings due to legal expenses, and warned that a strong US dollar would hit gross bookings in the first quarter.

The San Francisco-based company said it expected gross bookings of between $42bn and $43.5bn in the current quarter, compared with $43.5bn forecast by analysts, according to Visible Alpha data.
