Bloomberg later reported that Uber walked away, citing one person familiar with the matter. Antitrust scrutiny and Uber's recent deal spree were flagged as hurdles. Uber has offered $14.8 billion for Delivery Hero and agreed on October 6 to buy ezCater for $2.3 billion in cash. Uber's chief executive officer, Dara Khosrowshahi, has said grocery and retail could grow bigger than its core food delivery business. Uber reports third-quarter results on November 4.

Uber's 12.1% operating margin tops rivals, but investors pay less for it than for JB Hunt

Uber Technologies keeps a larger share of sales as operating profit than four rivals in ride-hailing, delivery and freight. Its operating margin reached 12.1% over the past twelve months, up from a loss equal to 1.6% of sales three years ago. Free cash flow topped $10 billion for the first time. Yet investors pay less per dollar of Uber's earnings than for three peers. Uber trades at 15.2 times earnings, against 32.0 for JB Hunt and 99.7 for DoorDash. Uber stock fell 23.6% over twelve months, while JB Hunt rose 68.4%. Revenue growth slowed to 12.2% in the second quarter of 2026, while gross bookings grew 22%. Management blamed part of the gap on a UK business model change. Uber plans to invest $10 billion in autonomous vehicles. It has not yet sized the effect on profit.
