DoorDash holds about 67% of the U.S. meal delivery market, showcasing its dominance. The recent partnership with Costco for grocery delivery in Canada could significantly boost revenue and expand its customer base.

Bear case

Strong Market Position

With a commanding 67% share of the U.S. meal delivery market, DoorDash has established itself as a leader in the sector. The company's reported revenue growth of 35.6% year-over-year in Q2 2026 demonstrates its ability to attract and retain customers, even as it faces competitive pressures.

Valuation Concerns Persist

Despite the positive momentum, DoorDash's high P/E ratio of 100.9 raises questions about its valuation. Investors may weigh the potential for future earnings against the current price, leading to cautious sentiment among some market participants.
