DoorDash, Inc. Price and EPS Surprise | The company’s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in two of the trailing four quarters while missing the same twice, the negative average surprise being 91.98%.Let’s see how things have shaped up for this announcement:
Factors to NoteDoorDash’s third-quarter 2024 performance is expected to have benefited from strong total orders and Marketplace GOV, enhanced logistics efficiency, and an increasing contribution from advertising.For the third-quarter 2024, the company anticipates Marketplace GOV in the range of $19.4-$19.8 billion. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter Marketplace GOV is pegged at $19.72 billion, suggesting 17.26% year-over-year growth.DoorDash has reported strong consumer demand, particularly in digital and omnichannel experiences. The trend of increasing digital orders, especially in restaurants and grocery segments, is likely to have contributed positively to the to-be-reported quarter.DoorDash’s expanding partner network, namely Eataly, El Super, and Fiesta Mart, to broaden the reach of on-demand grocery delivery across multiple regions is expected to have boosted total orders growth in the quarter under review.In the second quarter, total orders increased 19% year over year to 635 million. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter total orders is pegged at $639 million, suggesting 17.67% year-over-year growth.DoorDash’s growing efforts to expand its grocery offerings, improve user experience, and increase DashPass adoption and the retention of customers are expected to have boosted growth in the grocery category in the to-be-reported quarter.The subscription service, DashPass, has reached an all-time high in subscribers. This growth is expected to have enhanced customer loyalty and increased order frequency in the third quarter.Increasing monthly active users with strong contributions from domestic and international markets is expected to have aided DASH’s top-line growth.However, DoorDash is facing extensive competition in its largest business category, the local food delivery logistics, which is expected to hurt top-line growth in the to-be-reported quarter.
