Uber Investor Cheers Global Expansion Brought by Delivery Hero Deal

Dow Jones07-17 16:10

0810 GMT - Uber Technologies' proposed acquisition of Germany's Delivery Hero brings more economies of scale to the business while expanding its global footprint, according to Accuvest Global Advisors' Eric Clark, who manages an ETF that has Uber among its holdings. "The cross-platform growth opportunities are what gets us excited," Clark says. Users of both Uber's mobility and delivery services typically generate three times more bookings, so the deal offers potential to expand the group's gross bookings further, he says. Moreover, it is cheaper for Uber to get more business from current users than to attract new ones on its own, the investment manager adds. Delivery Hero shares trade broadly flat.
