Fundamentals
- DoorDash has shown tremendous growth compared to its counterparts like GrubHub and UberEats, during the Covid pandemic.
- In terms of meal delivery shares, DoorDash currently covers 57%.
- Dashers - the deliverymen on DoorDash - are gig workers, but the Biden administration has signaled that they should be classified as employees
- This would induce additional costs, and with DoorDash still not being a profitable company yet, this could negatively impact the stock's price.
- While this company is still not profitable, their Q2 financials demonstrate great growth trajectory
- Their increase in revenue isn't amazing, but the absolute value is quite high.
- Their Gross Order Value (GOV) has been growing for 5 consecutive quarters.

- But ever since we tested the IPO price support in May, we have been in an uptrend, forming higher lows and higher highs.
- The price is trading above the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Ribbon
- A break and close above $214 could lead this stock to retest its all time highs at $256

- The runner up on the list is Sequoia Capital, with 11.66%
