DoorDash, Inc.

Goldman Sachs added DoorDash to its U.S. Conviction List, arguing the company is well-positioned cyclically and secularly through 2026. The firm believes revenue growth will be sustained by a healthy consumer base, with Wall Street projecting a 39% year-over-year revenue jump to $3.99 billion.

Wolfe Research downgraded DoorDash to 'Underperform', citing a structural slowdown in suburban markets. Wells Fargo maintained an Equal-Weight rating and trimmed its price target, signaling a balanced but cautious risk-reward profile with limited near-term upside.

Wells Fargo's analysis of the grocery delivery sector suggests DoorDash is actively gaining market share at Instacart's expense. DoorDash, alongside Uber and Amazon, is identified as a key competitor eating into Instacart's base, reinforcing its expanding competitive footprint.

The food delivery sector faces intensifying multi-front competition from Instacart, Uber, and Amazon. Bank of America noted that first-quarter guidance cuts have been widely sold across the sector, reflecting broader industry-level pressure that could weigh on DoorDash's growth and margins.

DoorDash is forecast to deliver earnings per share of $2.49 next year, compared to $0.30 the prior year — a dramatic improvement. The median analyst price target of $250 implies meaningful upside, with the high target reaching $350, reflecting strong conviction in the company's earnings trajectory.

With a P/E ratio of 90.7x and short-term price forecasts projecting a decline to $142–$151 over the next 13 weeks, DoorDash's valuation appears stretched. BTIG slashed its price target from $280 to $225, citing ongoing multiple compression across the delivery sector.
