Deliveroo has postponed its margin growth forecast due to a slower recovery in consumer confidence, resulting in a 9% drop in shares on March 13. Despite this, the company reported its first statutory profit of £2.9 million in 2024, alongside positive cash flow and core earnings of £129.6 million. CEO Will Shu announced that the 4% core earnings margin target, initially set for 2026, will now be achieved “from 2026” as the company exits Hong Kong, selling assets to Foodpanda, while continuing operations in seven other markets.
