Uber Expands Delivery Hero Stake Amid Acquisition Discussions

Published on May 27, 2026

Uber Technologies Inc. recently acquired Aspex Management’s shares in Delivery Hero SE, elevating its stake to 36.83%. This move represents a significant escalation in Uber’s long-term strategy to strengthen its foothold in the food delivery market.

The transaction comes as Uber is engaged in negotiations to fully acquire the German food-delivery platform. Following the announcement, both companies saw an increase in market interest, driven of an expanded partnership and enhanced service offerings.

As a result of this investment, Uber gains greater influence over Delivery Hero’s operations and a stronger position in Europe’s competitive food delivery landscape. This investment aligns with Uber’s broader mission to diversify its services beyond ride-hailing.

The shift could reshape market dynamics, prompting other companies to rethink their strategies in response. The acquisition discussions signal a trend towards consolidation in the delivery sector, suggesting that competition may become more intense in the future.
