At the same time, Uber’s takeover offer (€41.50 per share; acceptance deadline November 5) is ongoing and CEO co‑founder Niklas Östberg intends to step down by the end of March at the latest, so the company is searching for a new CEO. The stock is trading slightly weaker at around €36.36. » More on finanzen.net

Delivery Hero's management considers Uber's takeover offer of €41.50 per share (total valuation just under €13 billion) to be fair. Delivery Hero shares are currently well below that, at around €36.60. To avoid competition conflicts, Delivery Hero is selling its business in 14 countries to SSW Partners for around €1.4 billion, but rivals and EU politicians warn that SSW could resell these markets to Uber and thus heavily concentrate market shares. Competition authorities are to review the transaction; completion of the offer is expected in the second half of 2027. » More on faz.net
