Uber Builds Large Stake In Germany’s Delivery Hero As Takeover Speculation Builds<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Uber is exploring a potential takeover of Delivery Hero after building a large stake in the rival German food delivery company, Bloomberg News<\/a> reports. This follows an earlier report that Uber had built a 19.5% stake.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Uber disclosed that it owns 19.5% of Delivery Hero, plus an additional 5.6% through options. The position was built with the help of Morgan Stanley traders, according to people familiar with the matter.<\/p>\n

Uber’s move to acquire Delivery Hero could be an attempt to expand Uber Eats’ global footprint and improve its competitive position against DoorDash outside the US.<\/p>\n

Delivery Hero operates in more than 60 countries, giving Uber exposure to markets where it is either underscaled or trailing its competitors.<\/p>\n

“While Uber’s ultimate intentions on further stake-building remain unclear, we view the move as a clear endorsement of the strategic attractiveness of Delivery Hero’s asset base for Uber,” JPMorgan analysts wrote in a note.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Uber said it “currently” has no intention of increasing its stake in Delivery Hero beyond 30%.<\/p>\n

Delivery Hero shares in Frankfurt are up nearly 50% this year and have more than doubled from their March lows of around 15 euros. Uber shares were marginally lower in early afternoon trading.<\/p>\n

Berenberg analyst Wolfgang Specht wrote in a note that Delivery Hero’s investment case has changed following news of Uber’s stake. He said it now seems prudent to assign value to scenarios that include a potential takeover.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
