Key Facts

1The Financial Times reported that Uber is nearing a deal to acquire Delivery Hero valued at approximately €12.5 billion.
2The acquisition deal is expected to value Delivery Hero at approximately €41 per share.

In a move highlighting Uber's aggressive expansion in Europe, Delivery Hero has confirmed its acquisition agreement in a deal now valued at over $14.8 billion (approximately €12.7 billion). Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi stated that the transaction is expected to double the company's footprint across both mobility and delivery markets, providing definitive strategic clarity on the merger's long-term objectives.

The revised $14.8 billion valuation surpasses previous estimates and strengthens Uber's position against rivals like DoorDash, which maintains a market capitalization of roughly $50 billion per market data. According to industry reports (Bloomberg), the acquisition is designed to streamline operational costs and enhance profit margins across fragmented international markets, justifying the premium paid for Delivery Hero’s extensive network.

Regarding market performance, UBER shares were priced at $74.26 (at close July 13, 2026) as investors digest the updated deal terms. Moving forward, the primary catalyst to watch will be the regulatory approval process within the European Union, particularly as the upcoming economic calendar remains light on direct sector-specific events for the next seven days.
