Ride-hailing market rookies Uber Technologies Inc. and Lyft Inc. will slug it out this week with earnings, but the most prominent topic could be a war between them that is ending.

Estimize is forecasting a loss of $1.03 a share.Revenue: Wall Street expects revenue of $3.3 billion from Uber, according to 29 analysts polled by FactSet. Analysts are looking for monthly active platform consumers of 98.4 million, up from 93 million in the previous quarter, according to FactSet. Uber reported revenue of $2.
