Delivery Hero (ISIN DE000A2E4K43) was trading at EUR 37.38 at Lang & Schwarz on October 15, 2026 at 11:41 a.m. CEST, down 0.19 percent versus the EUR 37.45 Xetra close of October 14, 2026. The stock stood 6.15 percent below its 52-week high of EUR 39.83. EQS News reported on October 6, 2026 that Delivery Hero alumni had founded 150 startups worth a combined EUR 7.5 billion.

Growth still supports the valuation

The operating figures provide a stronger counterweight to the takeover spread than the founder-network study alone. In the first half of 2026, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization rose 3.9 percent to EUR 427 million, exceeding the EUR 396 million estimate. FreshPlaza reported the figures on October 14, 2026.

Delivery Hero also raised its 2026 like-for-like revenue growth outlook from 14 percent to 16 percent to 17 percent to 19 percent, while its adjusted EBITDA target moved from EUR 910 million to EUR 960 million to EUR 960 million to EUR 1.00 billion. That combination leaves the operating story constructive even as the takeover sets a near-term valuation ceiling.

Three milestones frame the story

On November 13, 2025, Delivery Hero reported third-quarter revenue of EUR 3.7 billion, according to Admirals. On August 27, 2026, the company reported first-half adjusted EBITDA of EUR 427 million. On October 6, 2026, EQS News carried the EUR 7.5 billion founder-network figure.

Which dates could move the spread?

Delivery Hero's next substantiated reporting date is October 28, 2026, when the company is scheduled to publish its third-quarter trading update, according to Delivery Hero. The Uber takeover acceptance period ends on November 5, 2026, according to Admirals.

What does the offer gap mean?

The EUR 41.50 cash offer is EUR 4.12 above the Lang & Schwarz price, a 9.93 percent discount to the offer. Markets Insider reported that UBS maintained a Hold rating and a EUR 41.50 target on October 13, 2026. The gap reflects the time until settlement and the regulatory conditions attached to the transaction.

Stock stays below the offer level

The market value of Delivery Hero is EUR 11.5 billion as of October 15, 2026, while the company remains a member of the MDAX. The operating update on October 28, 2026 is the next company-specific test for the business, while the takeover timetable remains the dominant valuation reference.
