$UBER owns a 37% financial stake in Delivery Hero. They built this position carefully and achieved a cost base in the low 30s. Delivery Hero is currently reviewing its strategic options. Because of its large stake, Uber has a direct seat at the table for whatever outcomes happen. Uber is not looking for a messy global takeover. It wants to buy specific profitable markets that match its current geographic footprint. Uber has a strong ride business in the Middle East but does not offer delivery there. Delivery Hero has strong, profitable positions in the Middle East, Argentina, and South Korea. Uber believes it can run these international assets on its own global tech stack to increase profits. Uber has a strict rule for any purchase. The purchase must quickly grow adjusted earnings per share. If an acquisition cannot beat the financial return of Uber buying back its own stock, they will choose to buy their own shares instead.
