Deliveroo on Smartkarma

Analyst coverage of Deliveroo on Smartkarma showcases various perspectives on potential developments for the company. Jesus Rodriguez Aguilar‘s report, “High-Conviction Arbitrage: 36% IRR Possible with 30 July Settlement, Court Approval Secured,” highlights Deliveroo shareholders’ approval of DoorDash’s 180p offer. The report suggests a potential ~36% IRR with a settlement likely by 30 July 2025, emphasizing the dominance of DoorDash’s bid and the improbability of an Amazon counterbid under Rule 2.8.

In another report by Jesus Rodriguez Aguilar titled “Prime Delivery: Amazon’s Route to Outbid DoorDash for Deliveroo,” Amazon’s potential counteroffer within the range of 200–222p is discussed. While Amazon’s strategic fit is noted to be stronger, regulatory scrutiny from the UK CMA poses timing and execution risks, potentially delaying closure until Q1–Q2 2026. Shareholders are presented with a choice between faster liquidity at 180p with DoorDash or a potentially higher valuation with Amazon, albeit at the cost of extended timelines and political uncertainty.
