Stan WongDoordashDASHTOP PICKOct 09, 2025

Fits the evolving themes of convenience and last-mile logistics. Controls about 65% of the US food-delivery market. Evolving into a broader commerce platform -- groceries, convenience, retail. Loyalty drives higher order frequency. Margins and profitability improving. Using AI to improve order flow. 

Expected earnings growth going forward is very strong at 30-35%. There is competition, but being the leader counts for a lot. And because the market's expanding, there's room for everybody to grow. No dividend.

BUY

Is -34% in Q1 and one of the worst performers on the S&P. The street expects AI to displace them. He disagrees. DASH has a solid brand and user base. DASH is trading cheaply now.

WATCH
DASH vs. UBER

On her radar since it pulled back. Lots of competition in food delivery. No longer just food delivery, trying to become a local commerce platform. Investors want proof that it can scale without burning cash. Margins are still fragile. Now an execution story, no longer a disruption story.

Prefers UBER.

COMMENT

Is on his radar. He owns Uber, which also delivers food. Shares have been choppy. They tried to buy Deliveroo, so they can expand to UK, Europe and Middle East. DASH is expensive, lacking earnings and has some EBITDA.

SELL

He sold it after seeing the horrific earnings, missing top and bottom lines. Sold all shares. Depressing. He had believed in it.

TOP PICK

Fits the secular, on-demand theme going on around the world -- "If I want something, I want it as soon as possible." Last-mile delivery has been difficult for companies, but DASH is very good at this. Commands 65% of the US food delivery market, astounding. Expanding quickly into grocery, alcohol, and retail, as well as international markets. Leader in digital convenience. 

Strong brand recognition. Expects 2026 revenue to top $16B. Subscriptions provide high-margin opportunities, including advertising. Sees 25+% EPS growth going forward and double-digit revenue expansion. No dividend.

(Analysts’ price target is $296.69)
BUY

Q1 revenue jumped 21% to a record $3 billion. Total orders are up 18%.

RISKY

He recently bought. It's risky. But they offer a convenience that will never go away. They have 67% market share and were profitable for the first time last quarter. The forward PE remains high, but they have 25-30% revenue growth. Have great cash flow and margins.

BUY

Last week, they reported a beat on every line item, including 23% revenue growth YOY and total orders 91% YOY, with improved guidance. From the pandemic, people are used to using food delivery apps, given order frequency and customer retention, while digital penetration is growing including their monthly subscription.

BUY

They just delivered good numbers. Likes it.

BUY

It just reported a clean revenue beat and raised guidance for this quarter and the full year. 

BUY

They report Thursday. He expects them to report a profit.

BUY
It had a strong run in 2021, but has lost 78% of its value from the peak. DASH last week reported a super quarter; gross order value was up 25% YOY. People are continuing to order food delivered to their homes and this won't go away. Wall Street worries that DASH could get hit in a recession.
COMMENT
They report Thursday. They endured the pandemic with flying colours. But the standards are set so high for quarterly reports these days that if they don't beat handily, shares will fall.
DON'T BUY
Wall Street has left certain "pandemic" stocks for dead. It fell from $250 to below $75 then bounced to $127. He has high hopes for the company long term, but it is losing money. So, he can't recommend his stock. The stock is still pricey and it's losing money. Many restaurants will still use Doordash, though.
