For DoorDash, Inc. (DASH), delivering meals is delivering gains for shareholders.
Most people know DASH as a meal delivery platform, but what it really offers is a place for merchants, consumers, and contractors to engage. One way DASH has grown is offering tools for order fulfillment, gaining customers, and digital ordering to its merchants. It’s also been expanding local partnerships, including with grocers. This is all building a larger, more profitable ecosystem for the company.
In DASH’s third-quarter report, the company reported a 25% year-over-year rise in revenue, to more than $2.7 billion. The company reversed last year’s $108 million operating income loss by reporting operating income of $107 million. For its quarter ending at the end of this year, analysts expect DASH to increase revenue on a year-over-year basis by 121.1%, to over $2.8 billion, and show a per-share earnings rise of 23%, to $0.93.
It’s no wonder DASH shares are up 81% this year – and they could rise more. MAPsignals data shows how Big Money investors are betting heavily on the forward picture of the stock.
