DoorDash Is Starting To Look Appetizing

Summary DoorDash remains a 'Hold' as its operational performance improves, but valuation is now closer to fair value than undervalued. Revenue surged 33.1% YoY to $4.04 billion in Q1 2026, driven by order growth and the Deliveroo acquisition. DASH is aggressively expanding beyond food delivery, securing major partnerships with Dollar Tree and Empire Company Limited. EBITDA and adjusted operating cash flow are projected to rise significantly in 2026, with Deliveroo contributing $200 million to EBITDA growth. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Trip.com: Regulatory Scrutiny Leaves A Sour Aftertaste; Downgrade To Hold

Summary We downgrade Trip.com to HOLD from BUY due to Q2 revenue guidance miss and ongoing antimonopoly investigation. TCOM’s Q1 beat consensus, but 3%-8% Q2 revenue growth guidance lags expectations and signals near-term margin pressure. Regulatory scrutiny threatens TCOM’s dominant domestic market position and monetization model and could trigger substantial fines and margin compression, in our view. TCOM’s valuation at 10x 2027E earnings is justified given revenue uncertainty, regulatory risks, and the potential for further de-rating if China’s consumption weakens.
