- Positive Sentiment: Delivery and logistics expansion continues. Uber formally launched its voluntary offer to acquire Delivery Hero for €41.50 per share, with acceptance running through November 5.

- Neutral Sentiment: Bullish long-term arguments remain intact, but valuation and execution matter.
