(Reuters) -Uber Technologies on Tuesday forecast third-quarter operating profit above Wall Street expectations as it sees growing demand for ride hailing due to strong leisure travel trends and gradual return to in-office work.
The San Francisco-based company's shares rose about 4% in premarket trading, while rival Lyft's shares increased 2%, as Uber also reported a surprise second-quarter profit.
