DoorDash's Analysts Trim Targets, But Robot Expansion Keeps Bulls Optimistic

DoorDash (DASH) shares have faced a mixed week of analyst activity, with Goldman Sachs lowering its price target for the stock while maintaining a "buy" rating. The firm adjusted its target to $279 from $315, a 11.43% reduction, citing evolving market dynamics. This move follows similar adjustments from other analysts, including B of A Securities and Cantor Fitzgerald, which also trimmed their targets but kept positive outlooks. Despite the downward revision, DASH continues to attract bullish sentiment, with Mizuho and Susquehanna maintaining "Outperform" and "Positive" recommendations, respectively. Mizuho's average one-year price target of $309.39 implies a 57.55% upside from its recent closing price of $196.38.

The stock's recent volatility coincides with strategic expansion efforts. DoorDash and Coco Robotics announced the expansion of autonomous delivery services to Miami, marking the first time Coco's robots will support deliveries for national grocers and retailers through DashMart Fulfillment Services.

The partnership aims to reduce urban traffic congestion and emissions while meeting rising demand for on-demand delivery. This follows a similar collaboration with Old Navy, which launched nationwide on-demand delivery via DoorDash. Analysts highlight these moves as key differentiators in a competitive delivery market, where DoorDash's 24.46% year-over-year revenue growth underscores its resilience.

Market observers also note the broader context of upcoming economic data releases, including U.S. crude oil inventories and U.K. GDP figures, which could influence investor sentiment ahead of DASH's earnings report. The stock is set to join a crowded earnings calendar, with companies like Airbnb, Coca-Cola, and Coinbase also reporting results next week.

While Goldman Sachs' price target cut signals caution, the broader analyst community remains cautiously optimistic. Susquehanna's 51.41% projected upside and Mizuho's 57.55% target reflect confidence in DoorDash's ability to navigate a challenging competitive landscape. The company's multi-modal delivery strategy-combining human couriers with drones and robots-has positioned it to capitalize on evolving consumer preferences and regulatory shifts.
