Market Sentiment Analysis

Equity futures dropped after US President Trump issued a 48-hour ultimatum for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, or he would order the US military to obliterate Iran’s energy infrastructure. Iran responded that it would result in immediate retaliation against energy and oil infrastructure across the Gulf, and that it would also consider buyers of US Treasuries as legitimate targets. Tomorrow’s flash PMI will offer insight into how corporate America is coping with the fallout from the Iran war.

DoorDash Fundamental Analysis

DoorDash is the largest food delivery company in the US, with a 56% market share and a 60% share in convenience store deliveries. It caters to over 450,000 merchants, over 50,000,000 users across 40+ countries, and employs over 1,000,000 couriers.

So, why am I bullish on DASH despite its nearly 36% plunge?

DoorDash reported record revenues last quarter amid a 39% surge in Marketplace Gross Order Value (GOV) to $29.7 billion, and the successful integration of Deliveroo. I am bullish on its DoorDash Dot autonomous delivery robot unit, which it plans to scale this year. Its grocery and retail unit is set to turn earnings positive as basket sizes and logistics efficiency rise, and AI-native infrastructure should improve margins.
