Stock prices for a major German food delivery company reached their peak level in 18 months during Monday trading after news emerged of a potential takeover offer from Uber, with reports indicating the American company may be planning to increase its proposal.<\/p>

The German firm’s stock price climbed 10% to reach 37 euros per share by 0705 GMT, marking the company’s strongest performance since the end of November 2024. This surge brought Delivery Hero’s total market value to \u20ac11.2 billion, equivalent to $13.04 billion.<\/p>

The stock rally began after Delivery Hero announced it had received a preliminary acquisition proposal from Uber, while a Financial Times report suggested the U.S. competitor was weighing an increase to its initial offer.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
