The call

Getir as an independent company is gone; what remains is a sale to Uber and a courtroom fight over the scraps.

Getir was a Turkish grocery delivery app that grew to be worth $12 billion in 2022 but lost almost all its value by 2026. Uber is buying the delivery business and merging it into a local competitor called Trendyol Go, while the company's other pieces like a finance division are stuck in a $700 million legal fight between the founders and a Middle Eastern investor. Even if you owned a piece of Getir today, the company as an independent business is essentially gone, and it is unclear whether any value will flow back to old shareholders once lawyers and Uber finish dividing up what is left.

Why
01
AI pressure: None apparent. The problem eating Getir is a collapsed cap table and a lawsuit, not an AI product taking its orders. Could AI do the core job? Unlikely.
02
Bigger players: Uber. Uber bought Getir's delivery arm for $435M combined and is folding it into Trendyol Go, with a parallel $14.8B bid for Delivery Hero. Could a giant copy it? Yes, easily.
03
What protects it. None apparent: the delivery business is sold, ownership is 100% Mubadala, and founders are suing over what is left.
What would change this call
Close and completion of Uber's acquisition of Getir's delivery unit. Confirms Getir delivery brand is dissolved into Trendyol Go under Uber ownership.
Ruling in the $700M founder lawsuit against Mubadala in London's High Court. Determines whether any Getir-linked entity (GetirFinance) survives independently.
Outcome of Uber's $14.8B bid for Delivery Hero. Would put Trendyol Go, Getir, and Yemeksepeti under one owner, closing off any Getir brand survival.

Questions people ask
Is Getir still an independent company in 2026?
No. Mubadala took full ownership of Getir in September 2024, and Turkey's Competition Board approved Uber's acquisition of Getir's delivery business on June 19, 2026, for roughly $435 million total, folding operations into Uber's Trendyol Go.
Is Getir profitable?
Getir has never disclosed revenue or profit. Its group assets were valued at just $374 million in February 2026 court filings, down from a $12 billion peak valuation in March 2022, a 97% collapse that signals no independent profitability.
Who owns Getir now?
Abu Dhabi's Mubadala sovereign wealth fund took 100% ownership of Getir in September 2024. In February 2026 Mubadala agreed to sell Getir's food/grocery/water delivery business to Uber for about $435 million, approved by regulators June 19, 2026.
Could AI replace Getir's delivery business?
No. Getir's core value is physical grocery picking and courier delivery, not AI-replaceable. AI is used only for back-office demand forecasting via Amazon Forecast, which cut waste 50% and lifted revenue 4% as reported in a May 2023 AWS case study.
Who is Getir's biggest competitor?
Uber, which already owns 85% of Trendyol Go and acquired Getir's delivery business in February 2026 (approved June 2026), plus Delivery Hero's Yemeksepeti, which Uber bid $14.8 billion to acquire on July 16, 2026.
Has Getir had layoffs?
Yes. Getir cut about 2,500 staff (14% of workforce) in August 2023, and its April 2024 exit from the UK put roughly 1,500 UK jobs at risk as it retreated to a Turkey-only footprint.
