-

Operating Expense Guidance Lowered
Non-GAAP operating expense guidance reduced to $140–$150 million from $160–$170 million, reflecting a deliberate pullback in spending to focus on highest-return opportunities.

Analysis · SERV · Technology
Serve Robotics delivered Q2 revenue of $3.2 million, a 404% year-over-year surge that nonetheless fell short of the $3.49 million consensus. More critically, the company slashed its full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $9–$10 million — a sharp cut from the prior implied run-rate of over $12 million — citing lower-than-expected delivery volume through its Uber Eats partnership. The revision removes projected Uber Eats demand for the second half of 2026 entirely. On the cost side, non-GAAP operating expense guidance was lowered to $140–$150 million from $160–$170 million, reflecting a deliberate pullback in spending. The company ended Q2 with $240.4 million in cash and marketable securities, providing a substantial runway, but the guidance cut signals a significant setback in its core delivery ramp. With approximately 86 million shares outstanding and an active $150 million ATM program, the revenue shortfall raises questions about the pace of fleet utilization and path to profitability.
