Uber计划以26亿美元收购送货竞争对手Postmate

Uber今天表示，计划以26亿美元的价格收购Postmate。这两家公司今天上午宣布了全股票交易。Uber表示，这两家公司的业务具有很强的互补性，因为它们在美国不同地区拥有不同的客户基础。Uber在其新闻稿中称赞Postmate是送货服务的早期先驱。疫情使Uber一半的叫车业务遭受重创，近几个月来，乘车需求下降了70%。但是与此同时Uber首席执行官Dara Khosrowshahi在一份书面声明中表示，与2019年相比，Uber Eats在2020年第二季度的预订量翻了一番以上。优步在5月份试图收购竞争对手GrubHub，但是没有成功。Uber的Postmate计划可能比GrubHub的抱负更容易获得批准，但监管机构仍可能对这笔交易进行严密审查。大约95%的美国餐厅外卖市场由四家企业控制：GrubHub(包括Seamless)、DoorDash、PostMates和Uber Eats。

Uber said today it plans to buy Postmate for $2.6 billion. The two companies announced an all-share deal this morning. Uber said the two companies' businesses are highly complementary because they have different customer bases in different regions of the United States. In its press release, Uber praised Postmate as an early pioneer in delivery as a service. Half of Uber's ride-hailing business has been hit by the epidemic, with demand for rides dropping 70 percent in recent months. But at the same time, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said in a written statement that bookings for Uber Eats more than doubled in the second quarter of 2020 compared with 2019. Uber tried to acquire rival GrubHub in May, but failed. Uber's Postmate plan may be easier to get approved than GrubHub's ambitions, but the deal is still likely to come under close scrutiny from regulators. About 95 per cent of the US restaurant delivery market is controlled by four companies: GrubHub(including Seamless), DoorDash, PostMates and Uber Eats.  source
