  • Delivery Hero Stock Surges 72% in a Month But Still Undervalued: DCF Analysis
    May 24, 2026, 3:54 AM EDT. Delivery Hero (XTRA:DHER) surged 72.3% over the past month, trading at €33.59 after a sharp rally with a 13.9% weekly gain and 37.4% yearly return. Despite this strong short-term performance, its 3- and 5-year returns declined 10.2% and 69.8%, reflecting longer-term challenges. A Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis suggests the stock is undervalued by roughly 41.9%, estimating an intrinsic value of €57.78. This uses projected free cash flows rising from losses currently to positive figures by 2026. Delivery Hero also scores 5 out of 6 on Simply Wall St's valuation metrics, indicating potential value despite recent market exuberance. Investors face the question whether current prices mark a reset in risk perception or a rebound from prior lows.
