The agreement comes after Uber pulled back from its bid to takeover GrubHub following scrutiny from antitrust authorities.Talks between Uber and Postmates had been in the works for years, but discussions picked up again last week, Bloomberg reports.That’s the percentage of food delivery sales that a combined Uber Eats and Postmates would control, according to Edison Trends

Top Wall Street analysts are betting on stocks like Tesla and Uber for the third quarterWe used TipRanks analyst ranking service to pinpoint Wall Street's best-performing analysts. Porsche SE is quite interesting. They own 53% of VW. Tesla stocks have shown to grow in value steadily, and just recently they topped $1200. They might hit $2000 in a year. I love both stocks. Lift is awesome also.
