Deliveroo shares jump after DoorDash makes $3.6 billion takeover bid for the British food delivery business

A deal would triple DoorDash’s business outside the US.

4/28/25 10:02AM

Deliveroo shares popped more than 22% on Britain’s FTSE 100 Monday after the company confirmed it got a $3.6 billion takeover offer from DoorDash. Deliveroo also hit pause on its stock buyback program ahead of the news. It first announced the offer after European markets closed Friday.

A takeover would triple DoorDash’s business outside the US, adding to its growing lineup, which already includes Finnish delivery giant Wolt and high-end restaurant delivery platform Caviar.

Analysts say a deal should skate past major regulatory hurdles since the two companies mostly operate in different markets. DoorDash has been riding a strong wave, with millions of customers leaning on the app for quick delivery of food — and pretty much everything else.

DoorDash shares are up 10% this year and more than 42% over the past 12 months.

JetBlue is raising its bag fees as fuel costs squeeze airlines

JetBlue will reportedly hike its bag fees, as the cost of jet fuel continues to climb amid the war in Iran. It’s the latest example of carriers finding ways to push rising costs onto travelers.

Last week, United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby said that if fuel prices remain elevated, fares would need to rise another 20% for his airline to break even this year.

As CNBC reported, when one airline raises fees, others tend to follow.

Earlier this month, JetBlue hiked its first-quarter outlook for operating revenue per seat mile to between 5% and 7%, saying that strong Q1 demand helped “partially offset additional expenses realized from operational disruptions and rising fuel costs.” Now, the carrier appears to be making moves to further boost revenue to offset those costs.

Earlier on Monday, JetBlue rival Alaska Air lowered its Q1 profit forecast. The refining margins for the carrier’s cheapest fuel option — sourced from Singapore and representing about 20% of Alaska’s overall supply — have spiked 400% since February.

JetBlue did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Netflix is hiking its prices again

Netflix is raising its subscription prices for the fourth time in four years, a move first spotted by Android Authority.

Per Netflix’s US pricing page, the cost of an ad-supported plan is climbing $1 to $8.99 per month, while the cost of a standard ad-free plan is going up $2 to $19.99 per month. The premium tier has also risen $2 to $26.99 per month.

The streamer last raised its subscription costs more than a year ago in January 2025. It also hiked prices in 2023, 2022, 2020, and 2019. Netflix shares climbed about 2% on the news.

“Our approach remains the same: we continue offering a range of prices and plans to meet a variety of needs, and as we deliver more value to our members we are updating our prices to enable us to reinvest in quality entertainment and improve their experience by updating our prices,” said a Netflix spokesperson, in a statement to Sherwood News.
