Deliveroo ‘in play’ as report reveals DoorDash takeover approach

Deliveroo (LSE:ROO) shares were slightly higher at Wednesday’s close, up 1.18% at 129p each, after reports of talks with American food delivery peer DoorDash (NASDAQ:DASH) over a potential takeover.

DoorDash approached Deliveroo last month, according to a Reuters report.

However, talks ended with no agreement, and valuations were mismatched.

At just under 130p, the market is currently valuing Deliveroo at around £2.1 billion.

Analyst views on the news suggest it may only be the beginning of potential bids for Deliveroo and that other bidders could potentially emerge.

The London-listed shares, which are 13.2% owned by Amazon, have struggled since what now looks like a disappointing IPO. It is down 54% since the 2021 float.

At News Defused we create, curate, and analyse what we see as the day’s engaging and interesting stories.

In today’s noisy, confusing and sometimes adversarial news cycle, we aim to give our audience what they really want – clarity, balance and a bitesized break from bias.

We give an overview of the stories we cover and we analyse a range of media as we aim to defuse the news. 

Our content formats aim to give accessible, easy-to-understand, and self-aware insights to our audience, but, we do not expect to publish the definitive version of any story in our coverage.

So, in every news page we publish, we will always give our audience links to quality  and authoritative external reporting to explore events further.

Hybrid news content

Our hybrid content gives our readers a clear, balanced and easy to understand telling of the story.

We also analyse the narratives and context around the story, and we explore potential biases related to the news.

We curate and aggregate a wider snapshot view of the media landscape for the story, giving our audience plenty of options for further reading.

Use of technology

We author all our content, aided by AI tools that help us deliver scale and add extra layers of insight.

As early adopters, we believe in the positive impact that new technology and responsible AI adoption can have for media platforms and their users.

As well as being a helpful source of information and news for our audience, News Defused is envisaged as a live, forward-looking workshop for our experienced team to develop and deploy new publishing technologies, including AI,  to enhance editorial workflows and expand the possibilities for user-focused digital content.
