DoorDash announced on October 29, 2026 an agreement to acquire Instacart for $17 billion, or $65 per Instacart share, in a deal approved by both boards (techcrunch.com). The deal combines DoorDash's restaurant delivery network with Instacart's grocery technology and retailer relationships. DoorDash says it will retain Instacart's brand, app and enterprise technology products, and both companies will operate independently until closing, expected in late 2027 or the first half of 2028 (techcrunch.com). The announcement followed reports on October 24, 2026 that Instacart had hired an investment bank to evaluate strategic options, including a sale. The Information reported talks with DoorDash, and Bloomberg reported talks with Uber, which reportedly walked away (techcrunch.com). Instacart's market cap stood above $13 billion, and its shares rose more than 9.2% on the Friday before the announcement while Uber and DoorDash shares fell (techcrunch.com). This is corporate M&A news: the sources describe no security incident, vulnerability or threat activity.
Relatos divergentes
- Which side ended the Uber talks is described differently. The earlier report (techcrunch.com, October 24) said Uber reportedly walked away, while the later article (techcrunch.com, October 29) said Instacart walked away from the Uber talks, citing Bloomberg. The later article is more recent, but both attribute the information to Bloomberg and neither is confirmed by the companies.
- On October 24 Bloomberg noted the discussions were early and might not lead to a sale. The October 29 announcement supersedes this, since a definitive agreement has now been announced.
