FRANKFURT (dpa-AFX) - Shares in Delivery Hero came under increasing pressure on Wednesday. At minus 5.4 percent, they reached their lowest level since the beginning of March. Most recently, they were at the bottom of the MDax, losing 4.3 percent.

One place ahead of it, the shares of cooking box mail order company Hellofresh were again very weak, falling by 3.4 percent. Neither was able to benefit from takeover fantasies in the sector following a media report about the US company Doordash's interest in the British food delivery service Deliveroo.

Meanwhile, the mood in the sector was clouded by a comment from JPMorgan. In his outlook for the reporting season after the second quarter, expert Marcus Diebel expects the situation to deteriorate before it improves.
