DoorDash pops 14% on strong earnings, upbeat order guidance
The company projected second-quarter adjusted EBITDA of $770 million to $870 million as strong demand and higher orders offset heavier spending.
DoorDash reported mixed first-quarter results on Wednesday, with earnings per share of 42 cents beating expectations; investors pushed shares up 8% following the report.
To drive growth, the company is heavily investing in artificial intelligence and building a single-platform tech stack that integrates recent global acquisitions including SevenRooms and British delivery company Deliveroo.
Earnings per share reached 42 cents, beating LSEG estimates of 36 cents; revenue of $4.04 billion and 933 million total orders missed analyst expectations.
For the current quarter, DoorDash guided marketplace GOV of $32.4 billion to $33.4 billion and EBITDA of $770 million to $870 million, signaling confidence in near-term expansion.
Amid the war in Iran, DoorDash expects over $50 million in gross costs for its driver relief program in the second quarter, funding it through adjusted investment priorities.
