Uber's €12.7bn takeover bid drives Delivery Hero's Q3

Uber takeover offer Uber agreed to buy Delivery Hero for €41.50 per share, a 108% premium. It secured 53% via Prosus and launched a tender offer. Delivery Hero's boards recommended acceptance, and CEO Niklas Ostberg stayed to steer completion.
The takeover bid is the dominant new event that drove the stock.
Uber paused European expansion Uber paused its European expansion to ease antitrust concerns, a move that helped pave the way for the deal and reduced regulatory hurdles.
This regulatory concession was a key step enabling the takeover.
Raised guidance and strong H1 Delivery Hero raised its 2026 guidance, with H1 EBITDA beating expectations, showing underlying business strength amid the takeover.
Improved financial performance supports the company's value and deal rationale.
Deal completion risk The stock trades near the offer price, limiting upside and making returns dependent on deal completion. Regulatory approvals remain a condition, and SSW Partners' purchase of European units aims to address antitrust issues, highlighting execution risk.
This counterweight shows the main risk that could affect the stock if the deal falls through.

Uber's €41.50 takeover offer advances, boards back deal

Uber's formal €41.50 offer gives shareholders a 108% premium Uber published its formal takeover offer on August 27, letting Delivery Hero shareholders tender shares for €41.50 cash each — about 108% above the price before the deal news. That high, fixed cash price is the main reason the stock trades near the offer level, since investors expect to receive that amount.
The formal offer sets the concrete cash price that anchors DHER's share price.
Delivery Hero boards recommend accepting Uber's offer On September 2, Delivery Hero's management and supervisory boards formally urged shareholders to accept Uber's roughly $15 billion bid, and top shareholder Prosus committed to tender its 17% stake. Board backing and a major shareholder locked in make completion more likely, supporting the shares.
Board and major-shareholder support materially raise the odds the deal closes at €41.50.
Delivery Hero raises 2026 guidance ahead of the offer Alongside the offer launch, Delivery Hero lifted its 2026 outlook, now expecting gross merchandise value to grow 9%–11%, and reported first-half adjusted EBITDA of €427 million, beating the €396 million analysts expected. Stronger underlying results make the company look healthier and support the deal case.
Improved guidance and earnings show the business is performing well, reinforcing the takeover value.
CEO Niklas Ostberg stays on to steer the Uber and SSW deals Delivery Hero said co-founder and CEO Niklas Ostberg will remain in charge through the Uber and SSW transactions. Keeping the founder-CEO provides continuity while the takeover is completed, reducing execution risk and reassuring investors that the deal process stays on track.
Leadership continuity during the takeover lowers execution risk and supports the shares.
