On September 24, Aurora Innovation fell 5.14% in regular trading, trading at $6.005/share, with turnover of $43.17 million, extending the prior session's decline.
The sell-off follows Aurora's announcement that it expects to end the year with 200 driverless trucks in operation through transport-as-a-service agreements, with a longer-term target of over 30,000 driverless trucks by 2030. While the company highlighted that logistics firm Hirschbach plans to own and operate 500 trucks through a driver-as-a-service agreement starting next year, and that Aurora has completed over 500,000 driverless miles since commercial launch, the market appeared to view the near-term scale as underwhelming.
Adding to the bearish sentiment, Uber sold 72 million Aurora Class A shares in August at $6.55 per share, netting approximately $472 million and reducing its stake to around 10.9%. Aurora's Q2 results also weighed on confidence, with a per-share loss of $0.14 missing the consensus estimate of $0.12. Analysts maintain an average overweight rating with a mean price target of $10.40, though near-term selling pressure persists.
