Delivery Hero (ISIN DE000A2E4K43) was trading at EUR 36.98 at Lang & Schwarz on October 13, 2026 at 9:07 a.m. CEST, up EUR 0.13 or 0.35 percent versus the Xetra close of October 12, 2026 at EUR 36.85. The stock stood 7.16 percent below its 52-week high of EUR 39.83. On September 24, Delivery Hero said Niklas Östberg would remain chief executive beyond March 31, 2027, with his contract running to April 30, 2029, as finanzen.at reported.
Three decisions shaped the stock
On July 16, 2026, Uber announced a cash offer of EUR 41.50 per Delivery Hero share. The offer values the equity at EUR 13.0 billion, while the takeover remains subject to regulatory approvals and other closing conditions, according to the Yahoo Finance transcript.
On August 27, 2026, Delivery Hero reported first-half 2026 revenue of EUR 7.8 billion and adjusted EBITDA of EUR 427.0 million, which increased 4.00 percent year over year. The company also raised its full-year 2026 outlook for like-for-like revenue growth to 17.00-19.00 percent from 14.00-16.00 percent and lifted adjusted EBITDA guidance to EUR 960.0 million-EUR 1.0 billion from EUR 910.0 million-EUR 960.0 million, as Yahoo Finance published.
What does the offer mean for value?
The EUR 41.50 offer remains the clearest valuation reference for the stock, but the market price is EUR 4.52 below that cash consideration. That gap equals 10.89 percent of the offer price and leaves the trading outcome tied to acceptance and regulatory milestones rather than only to operating performance.
Dates that can reset expectations
Delivery Hero's next scheduled event is the Q3 2026 trading update and quarterly statement webcast on October 28, 2026, according to the company's investor-relations page. The Uber offer acceptance period runs until November 5, 2026, while the transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2027.
For investors, the operating picture and the transaction timetable now point in different directions: first-half adjusted EBITDA improved, while the stock remained below both the EUR 39.83 yearly high and the EUR 41.50 offer.
Stock remains below the offer
At EUR 36.98, the Lang & Schwarz quote on October 13, 2026 at 9:07 a.m. CEST was EUR 4.52 below the Uber offer and EUR 2.85 below the 52-week high. The Xetra close used as the reference was EUR 36.85 on October 12, 2026, making the intraday quote 0.35 percent higher.
