Uber has agreed to acquire Berlin-based food delivery operator Delivery Hero in an all-stock transaction valued at $14.8 billion.

The deal, reported by The Daily Star, represents a significant expansion of Uber's international presence and would nearly double its global footprint.

8 billion reflects a premium for Delivery Hero's established operations in key markets across Europe and Asia.

The acquisition structure relies entirely on equity, avoiding immediate cash outflows for the ride-hailing giant.

This approach aligns with Uber's broader strategy to leverage its market valuation to consolidate the fragmented global food delivery sector.
