Uber Technologies, Inc. (UBER) reported robust revenue growth in the first quarter of 2024, with total revenue reaching $10.13 billiona, a 15% increase year-over-year.

Despite revenue growth, the company reported a net loss attributable to Uber Technologies, Inc. of $654 millionb, compared to a loss of $157 million in the prior year.
