Uber Advances €13 B Delivery Hero Deal

Overview

In mid‑July 2026 Uber announced a public cash offer of €41.50 per share for German food‑delivery group Delivery Hero, valuing the business at roughly €13 billion. The offer represents a premium of about 34 % over the recent average share price. At the time of the proposal Uber held roughly 37 % of Delivery Hero’s voting rights and sought to exceed the 50 % + 1 share threshold; subsequent share purchases, including the sale of Prosus’s near‑17 % stake, have lifted Uber’s interest to about 53 %.

To address competition concerns, Delivery Hero will divest operations in 14 overlapping markets to New‑York‑based SSW Partners for around €1.4 billion. Uber has pledged to keep Delivery Hero’s headquarters in Berlin until at least 2029 and to invest €2 billion in Germany through 2031.

The transaction remains subject to antitrust clearances and shareholder approval and is slated to close in the second half of 2027. Once combined, the platforms will operate in 99 countries, with a projected gross merchandise value of $236 billion in 2025, making the merged entity the world’s largest food‑delivery platform outside China.
