Uber has significantly expanded its position in Delivery Hero, bringing its shareholding to nearly 25% and securing additional voting rights through options — making it the company's largest shareholder. Delivery Hero shares jumped sharply on the news. The move deepens an existing commercial relationship between the two companies into a major strategic financial commitment.
This is a clear vote of confidence in Delivery Hero from one of the world's largest mobility and delivery platforms, and the stock price reaction confirms the market is reading it that way. For investors holding Delivery Hero, the presence of a powerful, well-capitalized anchor shareholder reduces some downside risk and raises the prospect of deeper operational synergies. Uber itself is doubling down on the global food and delivery space, which signals conviction in the sector's long-term economics.
Watch for any formal partnership announcements or integration news between Uber Eats and Delivery Hero's platforms in the weeks ahead. Also monitor Delivery Hero's next earnings release for any commentary on the Uber relationship, and track whether Uber's stake approaches the 30% threshold that could trigger mandatory takeover bid rules under German and EU regulations.
