Delivery Hero Lifts 2026 Outlook on Strong Growth
Delivery Hero lifted its 2026 outlook as adjusted EBITDA rose 3.9% to €427 million and Uber opened its takeover offer.
- On Thursday, German online takeaway food company Delivery Hero lifted its 2026 guidance, with adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation growing 3.9% to €427 million in the first half of 2026.
- U.S.-Based rival Uber launched its voluntary public takeover offer today, August 27, 2026, offering €41.50 per share, representing an approximately 108% premium over Delivery Hero's unaffected May 8, 2026 closing price.
- Gross merchandise value is now expected to grow 9% to 11% this year compared with prior guidance of 8% to 10%, as CEO Niklas Östberg said "a wider offering gave customers more reasons to subscribe."
- Shareholders have until November 5, 2026, to accept the offer, which requires a minimum 50% acceptance threshold plus one share; Delivery Hero will operate independently until transaction closing in the second half of 2027.
- Uber secured an irrevocable undertaking for 51,116,174 Delivery Hero shares, bringing its total economic interest to approximately 53%, positioning the takeover to expand the platform across 99 markets.
