Uber Technologies (US90353T1007) lifted investor attention on August 27, 2026, after it published a formal cash offer of EUR 41.50 a share for Delivery Hero. The same update leaves three hard figures in view for traders: second-quarter revenue of $14.19 billion, adjusted EPS of $0.81, and a market value of $157.48 billion.
Takeover bid in view
The offer document sets an acceptance window from August 27, 2026, to November 5, 2026, and values the target at about EUR 13 billion in equity terms. Uber's move also points to a broader platform stretch, with the companies' combined pro-forma gross bookings cited at $236 billion for 2025.
For investors, the comparison that matters is simple: Uber's second-quarter revenue rose 12.2% year over year to $14.19 billion, while EPS of $0.81 came in $0.01 above the consensus cited in current coverage. The company's Q3 2026 guidance sits at $0.84 to $0.88 per share, and market coverage puts full-year 2026 EPS at $3.39.
Market and margin mix
Uber shares traded at $77.10 at 10:43 a.m. Eastern on August 28, 2026, down $1.39, or 1.77%, with a day range of $76.20 to $77.69. The stock's 52-week range is $65.41 to $101.99, and the reported market capitalization is $157.48 billion.
The setup shows why the Delivery Hero bid matters beyond headlines. Uber is trading on a P/E ratio of 16.88 and a consensus price target of $104.25, while the latest quarter showed a 17.34% net margin and return on equity of 43.36%.
Delivery Hero angle
Delivery Hero's own August 2026 guidance update adds context to Uber's bid, with adjusted EBITDA now guided at EUR 960 million to EUR 1 billion and free cash flow expected above EUR 250 million. The takeover offer and the improved outlook together sharpen the case for scale in global delivery, even as the transaction still needs the remaining approvals and shareholder acceptance threshold.
Uber Eats and mobility
Uber Eats remains the clearest consumer-facing product inside the broader platform, linking restaurants, couriers, riders and shippers across mobility and delivery. That mix is also what supports the company's 2026 earnings profile, with analysts currently looking for $3.39 a share for the full year.
Shares and valuation
Uber stock changed hands at $77.10 at 10:43 a.m. Eastern on August 28, 2026, with volume at 4.07 million shares. The market cap stood at $157.48 billion, and the 52-week range ran from $65.41 to $101.99.
