DoorDash: The Selloff Doesn't Match The Fundamentals

Summary DoorDash is rated a buy with a 12-month price target of $187.68, reflecting strong growth and undervalued long-term potential. Despite a Q1 revenue miss, DASH delivered 28% YoY adjusted EBITDA growth and robust GOV increases, even excluding Deliveroo. Integration of Deliveroo, tech stack unification, and expansion into grocery, retail, and autonomous delivery offer significant margin and growth upside. Current valuation multiples do not reflect DASH's market leadership, operational leverage, and optionality from new segments and advertising. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
