Doordash (DASH) is a prominent player in the food delivery sector, commanding approximately 65% of the US market. While the stock has recently faced significant challenges, including poor earnings reports and market competition from rivals like Uber, many analysts argue that the company's strong brand recognition and evolving services—expanding beyond food delivery into local commerce—could drive future growth. Some experts anticipate substantial earnings growth of around 30-35%, especially as the market for last-mile delivery and convenience expands. However, concerns remain due to fragile margins and the need for proof of scalability without cash burn. Analysts have mixed sentiments about its valuation, with some considering it undervalued, while others argue it is relatively expensive and lacking robust earnings.
The $53 billion valuation may be too high. Maybe after we all get vaccinations, people may return to restaurants and use DD less, or we could get used to DD food delivery. Even if they everything goes right for them, it isn't worth this valuation. Also, its competitors like GrubHub are smart.
They IPO Wednesday and will be the biggest debut this year after Snowflake. They have 390,000 merchants and 18 million customers. They've processed 900 million orders. Food delivery become essential during Covid. Meanwhile, Doordash has bought competitors and the space has actively consolidated. Covid has accelerated it development because of the lockdowns. DD is the biggest player in food delivery, taking 50% market share. There's a lot of room to grow. They are expanding into groceries and flowers. DD is unprofitable given huge marketing costs, but these costs are worth attracting more customers. Revenues grew 204% YOY, total orders by 217% and gross order volume 186%. It's far from profitable, but margins are widening. DASH will be priced at $90-95 at IPO, less than 7x 2021 sales estimates, but he thinks $100 is reasonable, but no more--business will slow a lot next year when society reopens. He predicts a pullback in 2021.
