Meituan posted a 28% surge in revenue, affirming resilient demand in China for takeaway from people confined to home during the pandemic.
Sales rose to 62.6 billion yuan ($8.7 billion) during the three months ended September, versus an average projection for 62.4 billion yuan. It swung to a profit for the period of 1.2 billion yuan, helped by big foreign exchange gains and tax benefits, after almost two years in the red.
