3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jul 16

$14.8 billion values Uber's agreed takeover of Delivery Hero, with the U.S. company offering €41.50 a share for the German food-delivery group.
50 markets would be added through the acquisition, extending Uber's global operations as it moves to deepen scale in food delivery.
Uber already owns about a 25% direct stake in Delivery Hero, and the transaction still requires regulatory approval.
The deal builds on Uber's push to become a larger global delivery player, with a later report saying closing is expected in late 2027.
