Aurora Q2 Loss Widens to $270M, But Revenue Beats and 200-Truck Fleet Eyed
AUR sits 64% above its 52-week low of $3.6.
Summary
Aurora's Q2 net loss widened to $270M from $223M in Q1 as it ramps spending to scale driverless truck operations. Revenue of $2M beat the $1.61M consensus, and the company guided for $14-$16M in full-year revenue, with over half expected in Q4 as commercial hauls begin. Management expects to exit 2026 with more than 200 driverless trucks, signaling aggressive fleet expansion. Cash burn remains elevated at $190-$220M per quarter, but the recent $479M Uber share sale and prior insider selling add pressure. This follows the July 22 launch of second-gen trucks and the first customer agreement on July 28 — the Q2 print confirms the commercial ramp is underway but at a steep cost.
