REUTERS: Uber Technologies Inc said demand for its food-delivery service more than doubled in the second quarter as many users remained largely homebound, while demand for ride-hailing trips was only marginally recovering from pandemic rock-bottom.

The company on Thursday posted a US$1.8 billion net loss in the months from April to June, including charges related to the laying off of 23per cent of its global workforce during a period when infections of the novel coronavirus continued to spread in the United States, Uber's largest market.AdvertisementUber's second-quarter revenue fell 29per cent to US$2.24 billion from the year prior, beating analysts' average estimate of US$2.18 billion, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.
