Analysts and Investor Sentiment -- I don't buy stocks because everyone else is buying but I do realize that if major firms and investors are dumping a stock it's hard to make money swimming against the tide:

• Wall Street analysts issued 22 strong buy, 7 buy and15 hold opinions on the stock
• Their price targets between $138 and $250
• Value Line gives the stock an average rating with a price target of $174 for a 20% loss and comments:" DoorDash posted its first-ever quarter of positive earnings in the third quarter of 2024. This in itself was not tremendously surprising; we had estimated breakeven earnings for the quarter, so earnings even the slightest bit above our mark would have put the company in the black. "
• CFRAs MarketScope rates the stock a buy with a price target of $245 and comments:" We lift our 12-month target to $245 from $206, shifting to a P/E of 40x our 2026 EPS view, above peers to reflect financial strength."
• MorningStar thinks the stock is fairly valued and comments:" Dash reported earnings that exceeded management guidance and expectations while continuing to strengthen key network effect metrics that support our narrow moat, such as total users, engagement (orders per monthly active user), and marketplace gross order value. We appreciate the continued progress in network effect strength and anticipate further runway from international and non-restaurant markets."

Additional disclosure: The Barchart Chart of the Day highlights stocks that are experiencing exceptional current price appreciation. They are not intended to be buy recommendations as these stocks are extremely volatile and speculative. Should you decide to add one of these stocks to your investment portfolio it is highly suggested you follow a predetermined diversification and moving stop loss discipline that is consistent with your personal investment risk tolerance and reevaluate your stop losses at least on a weekly basis.
