Uber in Advanced Talks to Acquire Berlin's Delivery Hero, Offer Imminent
Uber is in advanced negotiations to acquire Delivery Hero, the Berlin-based food delivery company, with a formal takeover offer expected imminently according to multiple reports from Bloomberg News and German financial press. The deal would represent a significant expansion of Uber's delivery footprint into European and emerging markets where Delivery Hero operates. No financial terms have been disclosed publicly.
If the deal closes, Uber gains a large international delivery network at a time when food delivery consolidation is accelerating, which could reshape its Uber Eats unit's competitive position. Delivery Hero shareholders are likely sitting on a near-term price floor as the bid premium gets priced in. For Uber shareholders, the question is whether the acquisition price strains the balance sheet or dilutes equity, which typically pressures the acquirer's stock in the short term.
Uber Q1 2025 earnings call (date TBD, typically early May): management may be pressed on deal rationale and financing. Any formal regulatory filing in Germany or the EU, which triggers a public review clock.
