Key numbers explained

• Price: 189.27 USD, down -1.53% today. Over the past 52 weeks the stock traded between 143.3 and 285.5 USD and is down -26.3% from a year ago.
• Market capitalization of 82.01B USD — the total market value of all shares — places DoorDash among the larger US-listed consumer companies.
• The trailing P/E ratio of 99.6 means the share price is about 99.6 times the last twelve months of earnings per share (1.9 USD); a high trailing P/E often reflects either fast expected growth or thin current profits.
• The forward P/E ratio of 23.2, based on expected earnings, is much lower — a common pattern for companies whose profits are expected to grow.
• Revenue over the trailing twelve months is 15.89B USD, growing 35.6% year over year — a pace of expansion well above that of mature peers like Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) or Best Buy (BBY).
• Profit margin is 5.3% and operating margin 3.9%, meaning only a small share of each revenue dollar becomes profit.
• Return on equity is 8.9%, and the debt-to-equity ratio of 33.3% indicates relatively modest use of borrowed money.
• The dividend yield is 0% — DoorDash pays no dividends, reinvesting earnings instead, unlike income-focused names such as Las Vegas Sands (LVS).
• A beta of 1.79 suggests the stock has historically moved more sharply than the broad market, similar in spirit to other high-beta consumer names like Tesla, Inc. (TSLA).

What to watch

As a consumer cyclical stock, DoorDash's results tend to move with consumer spending patterns and discretionary demand. Investors typically follow the pace of revenue growth (currently 35.6% year over year), the gap between the trailing P/E of 99.6 and the forward P/E of 23.2, and whether margins improve from current levels (5.3% profit margin). Competition across the Internet Retail industry, regulatory and labor developments affecting delivery platforms, and the next earnings report on Nov 4, 2026 are the kinds of general factors that shape how this type of stock is read.
