Delivery Hero (ISIN DE000A2E4K43) was priced at EUR 36.45 at Lang & Schwarz on October 8, 2026 at 12:14 p.m. CEST, unchanged from the EUR 36.45 prior close. The Korea Fair Trade Commission began a preliminary review of Uber's proposed acquisition of Delivery Hero on September 22, 2026, according to Ground News.
Korea review adds transaction risk
The review concerns Uber's plan to acquire Delivery Hero and could add regulatory scrutiny to a transaction already subject to approval conditions. The proposed combination would give Uber control of Baemin, the South Korean delivery platform operated by Delivery Hero subsidiary Woowa Brothers, according to the same September 22 report from Ground News.
Half-year earnings beat estimates
Delivery Hero's operating picture offers a counterweight to the regulatory uncertainty. In the first half of 2026, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization rose 3.90 percent to EUR 427.00 million and exceeded the EUR 396.00 million analyst estimate, FreshPlaza reported on October 7, 2026.
That comparison matters because the takeover case is being assessed against a business that is still improving profitability. Delivery Hero said it would continue operating independently until the transaction closes, which the report placed in the second half of 2027.
Price remains below analyst target
The average target of EUR 38.62 from 13 analysts places the target 5.96 percent above the Lang & Schwarz price, based on the consensus figures published by Marketscreener. Measured from the target, the EUR 36.45 share price stood 5.62 percent below that level, leaving the offer process and regulatory timetable as the central valuation variables.
Next trading update is dated
Delivery Hero's investor-relations calendar lists the third-quarter 2026 trading update for October 28, 2026. The company operates a local delivery platform across 65 countries and reported fiscal-year 2025 total segment revenue of EUR 1.18 billion, according to its investor-relations page.
