While Airbnb enjoyed success in the third quarter and reported a net loss for the quarter of $2.4 million, Uber suffered a setback. The decline was mainly due to a decrease in the value of its investments, especially in Didi.
Didi, the largest Chinese ride-hailing platform, went public on July 1, and has been under scrutiny by Beijing over data security, privacy, and worker protections. According to the New York Times, Didi’s stock price plummeted after this crackdown. Uber suffered a $3.2 billion loss as Didi sold its Chinese business to Didi for equity in 2016.
Uber suffered a net loss in the same quarter last year of $1.09billion. However, it said that its stakes in Zomato, Aurora, and Joby helped to offset some of this loss.
