Uber to Acquire 85% Stake in Turkish Delivery Platform Trendyol Go for $700 Million

Uber has announced plans to acquire a controlling 85% stake in Trendyol Go, one of Turkey's leading food and grocery delivery platforms, for $700 million. This strategic move is set to enhance Uber's footprint in emerging markets like Turkey, especially as growth in its North American operations slows down.

Trendyol Go boasts an expansive reach across Turkey, with a workforce comprising 19,000 couriers and partnerships with over 90,000 restaurants and markets. In 2024, the platform processed more than 200 million orders, generating approximately $2 billion in gross bookings, marking a year-over-year growth of over 50%. Despite the acquisition, Trendyol Go will maintain operational independence, though Uber plans to gradually incorporate features from its own Uber Eats service.

This acquisition move is part of a broader trend of consolidation within the industry. For instance, DoorDash recently announced plans to acquire Deliveroo for $3.85 billion to bolster its presence in Europe. Uber's decision also comes on the heels of its withdrawal from a $950 million bid for Foodpanda in Taiwan due to regulatory challenges. The Trendyol Go acquisition is expected to be completed in the second half of 2025, according to Reuters.

Enbridge Inc., I Squared Capital, and MPLX LP have successfully agreed to secure up to an 85% stake in the Matterhorn Express natural gas pipeline. This acquisition involves a strategic ownership structure where WhiteWater Midstream, supported by I Squared Capital and First Infrastructure Capital, will control up to 65% of the pipeline. Enbridge and MPLX are each set to own a 10% share. According to Reuters, these stakes have been acquired from Ridgemont Equity Partners and Devon Energy Corp. The Matterhorn Express pipeline is an extensive infrastructure spanning 580 miles, capable of transporting up to 2.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas daily. It moves vital resources from the productive Permian Basin in West Texas and New Mexico straight to the outskirts of Houston. The entire operation has been valued at over $5 billion, which includes existing debt. Additionally, MPLX announced it has separately acquired a further 5% interest in the pipeline joint venture, amounting to $151 million. Having commenced operations in October 2024, the Matterhorn pipeline plays a crucial role in easing bottlenecks and enhancing local gas price conditions. This, in turn, has supported increased oil production across the United States, particularly impacting the shale sectors. These recent developments highlight the ongoing strategy of Enbridge, I Squared Capital, and MPLX to expand their influence and capability in the natural gas market.
