Instacart's stock surged nearly 10% following reports that the company is exploring a potential sale to larger competitors like DoorDash and Uber. While discussions are preliminary and no deal is guaranteed, investors are pricing in a possible acquisition premium that could value Instacart at $16-$17 billion, above its previous $12 billion market cap. The move comes amid growing competition in grocery delivery, making Instacart an attractive target due to its established marketplace. However, regulatory scrutiny and Uber's withdrawal from talks add uncertainty to the outlook, leaving the stock's future dependent on deal progress and approvals.
While Instacart explores a potential sale to DoorDash and Uber, both competitors are seeing declines on Pluang. DoorDash shares dropped 3.53% to USD 179.38 and Uber shares fell 3.43% to USD 66.70. These prices are as of Oct 25, 2026 17:21 WIB.
