While the Deliveroo integration, higher driver compensation, and investments in new delivery technologies weigh on margins, the company is pushing beyond restaurant delivery to unlock new growth opportunities.
DoorDash is expanding into apparel with partnerships spanning Macy’s, Anthropologie, The North Face, Vans, and Timberland, offering delivery in as little as an hour. It is also preparing to launch a nationwide $7.99 item-return service in November, building on recent partnerships with Gap, Costco, Barnes & Noble, and Kohl’s.

Among the 40 analysts covering the stock, 31 recommend a “Strong Buy,” two recommend a “Moderate Buy,” six suggest a “Hold,” and another analyst suggests a “Strong Sell.” DASH’s average analyst price target is $260.31, indicating an upside of 40% from the current levels.
