Delivery Hero stock (ISIN DE000A2E4K43) was trading at EUR 36.57 at Lang & Schwarz on October 7, 2026 at 9:05 a.m. CEST, plus 0.30 percent versus the prior close of EUR 36.46. On September 24, 2026, EQS News reported that co-founder Niklas Östberg will remain chief executive beyond March 31, 2027.
CEO continuity through 2029
The decision reverses the previously announced leadership timetable and comes during the proposed Uber takeover. Östberg's existing service agreement runs until April 30, 2029, giving Delivery Hero leadership continuity through a transaction process expected to continue into 2027.
The operating backdrop is quantified in the company's first-half 2026 update. Yahoo Finance reported revenue of EUR 7.8 billion for the first half of 2026, up 18.00 percent on a like-for-like basis, while adjusted EBITDA rose 4.00 percent year over year to EUR 427.0 million.
Offer gap remains measurable
The same first-half 2026 call described Uber's cash offer at EUR 41.50 per share and an initial acceptance period ending November 5, 2026. Against the Lang & Schwarz price of EUR 36.57, that offer is 13.48 percent higher, a concrete reference point for the stock while regulatory and shareholder steps continue.
Delivery Hero also raised its full-year 2026 outlook in the August 27 update. Like-for-like revenue growth is guided at 17.00 percent to 19.00 percent, versus 14.00 percent to 16.00 percent previously, and adjusted EBITDA is guided at EUR 960.0 million to EUR 1.0 billion, versus EUR 910.0 million to EUR 960.0 million previously. The next quarterly update is scheduled for October 28, 2026, according to the Delivery Hero investor relations page.
Stock stays below the offer
