How do Delivery Hero's current losses impact its value creation potential?

According to a report by www.finanzen.net, Delivery Hero shares reached a historic low of 21.64 euros on Tuesday morning. This marked a further loss of 13.5 percent in 2024, after an already massive slump of 44 percent in 2023. Despite these lows, shares recovered slightly to 22.10 euros, still down 0.25 percent.

Analysts such as Andrew Gwynn of Exane BNP Paribas have further reinforced the negative developments. His colleague Lisa Yang from Goldman Sachs also expressed skepticism about the online food sector in the short term, but spoke optimistically about the company's value creation potential for Delivery Hero. She emphasized that Delivery Hero had already announced the possible partial sale of its Asian business for a sum of billions in autumn 2023.

Delivery Hero shares were listed on the stock exchange in 2017 at an issue price of 25.50 euros. At their peak in 2021 they cost 145 euros, which means that they have currently lost 85 percent of their value.

These constant lows and negative sentiment from analysts could have a significant impact on the market. Investors could be deterred by the negative sentiment, which could lead to further declines in the value of shares. This could also affect investor confidence in the industry as a whole. The financial industry must therefore continue to closely monitor developments in Delivery Hero and the online food sector, as they could have far-reaching effects on the market.
