Uber (UBER)’s $15 Billion Delivery Hero Buyout Clears a Key Hurdle

Uber (UBER) received approval from Delivery Hero's boards for a $15B acquisition, paying €41.50 per share. The deal, expected to close by November 5, would expand Uber's global delivery scale to 99 markets. Uber projects high-single-digit EPS accretion by the third year, citing strong cash flow. However, integration risks and regulatory hurdles remain. Prosus, Delivery Hero's second-largest shareholder, committed its 17% stake.
