What Delivery Hero does

German online food and grocery delivery platform operating local brands across Europe, Asia, Middle East and Latin America.

Takes a commission from restaurants on each order, plus delivery fees from customers and advertising from restaurants competing for visibility; in grocery it runs its own small warehouses, so it earns the retail margin. Its Gulf arm Talabat was listed separately in Dubai in 2024, with Delivery Hero still the majority owner.

Moat: narrow (network effects, scale, brand). Local market leadership (often #1 or #2) creates two-sided network effects between diners and restaurants.

Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
