Sign InIn a move reflecting the accelerating consolidation in the global delivery sector, Uber is nearing a major deal to acquire Delivery Hero. According to Financial Times reports, the acquisition is valued at approximately €12.5 billion, with an expected purchase price of around €41 per share for the German firm. This development follows advanced negotiations aimed at strengthening Uber's competitive standing in international markets.
The deal arrives amidst intense sector competition, as major players seek to reduce operational costs and expand market share. In comparison to peers, DoorDash holds a market capitalization of approximately $50 billion per market data, positioning Uber’s move for Delivery Hero as one of the most significant strategic shifts in Europe recently. Analysts at JPMorgan have previously noted in research reports that sector consolidation is becoming essential for achieving sustainable profitability.
Regarding market performance, UBER shares stood at $74.26 (at close July 13, 2026), having traded between a day low of $73.87 and a high of $76.3. Investors are now awaiting the official announcement regarding the deal's final terms and its impact on the balance sheet, while the immediate economic calendar shows no direct sector catalysts, leaving the focus on corporate statements from both entities.
