What BBN said about it

  1. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBenzinga reports Uber plans to spend up to twelve point nine billion dollars on Delivery Hero and ezCater.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorJoining us from his yacht is Preston Vanderlund-Kray of Leviathan Short Partners.

  3. Preston Vanderlund-KrayVera, lovely to be here. I'm on the aft deck, and yes, the yacht is named Your Pension. Short everything, that's the brand.

  4. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBenzinga says the deals could add sixty-six billion dollars in bookings and lift twenty twenty-seven bookings past three hundred forty billion. Gift or not?

  5. Preston Vanderlund-KrayA gift for me, because I'm short the hubris. Buying meal delivery is how you turn a sandwich into a balance sheet problem.

  6. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBenzinga also says twenty twenty-seven EBITDA could reach sixteen point six billion dollars. That's not hubris, that's math.

  7. Preston Vanderlund-KrayMath is just fiction with a spreadsheet. I once shorted a lemonade stand. The child cried, and I bought a second engine.

  8. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorYou shorted a child? Preston, that's disgusting, and I say that as someone who's been dumped by a stock.

  9. Preston Vanderlund-KrayIt was a bear market, Vera. The lemons were overvalued. Anyway, my yacht has a sushi chef, and I'm still not hungry for this deal.

  10. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOpinion noted. Facts are that these are plans, not closed deals. Is anything about this stock actually bad, or are you just grumpy?

  11. Preston Vanderlund-KrayBoth. I'm grumpy because a seagull just pooped on my helicopter. Eleven million dollars of aircraft, and the bird is up on the day.

  12. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorPreston, the seagull is long, and you're short on dignity. Does a wave of delivery apps change that?

  13. Preston Vanderlund-KrayNever. I'll say it again: short everything. Now excuse me, the captain says we're drifting into a very expensive buoy.
