Delivery Hero stock reports a CEO leadership reversal

Delivery Hero stock stood at EUR 36.56 on September 24, 2026, down 0.60 percent from the previous close. The company also said co-founder Niklas Östberg will remain chief executive beyond March 31, 2027, reversing the leadership transition announced in May.

CEO stays through 2027

According to finanzen.ch, Delivery Hero announced the decision on September 24, 2026. The company said the ongoing takeover offer had fundamentally changed its situation, while Östberg's existing service agreement runs until April 30, 2029.

The leadership decision links governance directly to the proposed transaction. According to TradingView, Delivery Hero had backed Uber's USD 14.8 billion takeover offer earlier in September.

H1 growth supports the offer

Delivery Hero's first-half 2026 revenue reached EUR 7.8 billion, up 17.8 percent on a like-for-like basis, while group GMV rose 10.1 percent to EUR 25.7 billion. Those figures show a faster revenue increase than GMV growth, a mix that points to higher monetization across the platform.

Adjusted EBITDA rose from EUR 410.7 million in the second quarter of 2025 to EUR 426.7 million in the second quarter of 2026. The company also raised full-year 2026 revenue growth guidance to 17 percent to 19 percent from 14 percent to 16 percent, and lifted adjusted EBITDA guidance to EUR 960 million to EUR 1 billion from EUR 910 million to EUR 960 million, according to TradingView.

Stock remains below yearly high

The EUR 36.56 reference price was EUR 3.27 below Delivery Hero's 52-week high of EUR 39.83 on September 24, 2026, a gap of 8.21 percent. The market capitalization was EUR 11,105,068,632, while the 52-week low stood at EUR 14.80.

The operating comparison and the takeover timetable now form the central valuation frame. Delivery Hero has been listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange since 2017 and is included in the MDAX, while its next scheduled trading update is October 28, 2026, according to Delivery Hero.
