On July 17, Uber fell 3.04% in regular trading, trading at $71.82/share, with turnover of $4.53 billion. The decline came as the broader passenger ground transportation sector sold off while the market continued to digest Uber's landmark $14.8 billion acquisition of Germany-based Delivery Hero.
Uber formally announced on the prior trading day a cash acquisition offer for Delivery Hero at 41.50 euros per share, encompassing delivery operations across 50 markets that generated $42.5 billion in gross bookings in 2025. While RBC Capital noted that synergies could exceed management's conservative $1.2 billion annual run-rate estimate, and Wedbush highlighted that cross-platform users generate approximately 3x the gross bookings of single-product users, market concerns over the substantial cash outlay and integration risk continued to weigh on shares.
Sector-wide selling pressure compounded the pullback, with peers Grab falling 5.38%, Lyft declining 3.35%, and Hertz Global Holdings dropping 4.55%. Gordon Haskett modestly trimmed its price target to $113 from $114 while maintaining a Buy rating.
