Uber's second-quarter results beat Wall Street estimates on the back of steady demand for its ride-sharing and food-delivery services, pushing the shares sharply higher.
Demand for ride hailing app - which is set to launch in Aberdeen next month - helped revenue rise 16% to £8.4billion in the second quarter to the end of June, according to The Times.
Gross bookings, the amount charged for taxi fares, food deliveries and freight shipments delivered through the Uber app, increased by 19% to £31billion.
The shares climbed $6.39, or 10.9%, during the day to close at $64.87 in New York on Tuesday night.
Dara Khosrowshahi, chief executive of Uber, said pressures on consumer spending had not softened demand for Uber rides and food delivery.
Uber, founded in 2009, owns one of the world’s most popular taxi-hailing apps and also has interests in restaurant delivery, bike-sharing services and self-driving cars. The company has a market valuation of about £109billion.
Uber officially lodged an application to operate in Aberdeen earlier this year, and it came before the council's licensing committee in June.
The meeting heard a number of representations of both support and objection, before the application was granted.
