Equal Weight

Reason

Wells Fargo raised the firm's price target on DoorDash to $251 from $239 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. The firm expects Q4 results in-line, and Q1 GOV guide 2% above consensus. Wells believes phasing of tech replatforming cost poses downside risk to consensus second half of 2026 margin expansion forecast and adds uncertainty to 2027 EBITDA estimates.

Overweight

Reason

Cantor Fitzgerald raised the firm's price target on DoorDash to $285 from $270 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. Despite lingering macro concerns, the outlook for Global Internet stocks into 2026 is increasingly positive as AI enters a "Synergy" phase that should drive accelerating revenue growth, improved value capture, and clearer long-term returns on capex, the analyst tells investors in a research note. With valuations still about 20% below medium-term ranges despite 2025 outperformance, the group is positioned to outperform in 2026 amid positive estimate revisions and improving sentiment, Cantor says.
