DoorDash rises after earnings beat

DoorDash rose in after-hours trading after it reported earnings results that beat Wall Street expectations.

The food delivery giant reported diluted earnings per share of $0.65, more than the $0.44 earnings per share analysts polled by FactSet were expecting, marking its fourth consecutive profitable quarter.

DoorDash also reported $3.2 billion in sales, higher than the $3.1 billion analysts were penciling in. Customers spent a total of $24.2 billion on the platform, less than the $23.6 billion analysts expected.

Shares were up 3.8% in recent after-hours trading.

The company, which grew in popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic and has held on to that momentum, is up nearly 50% since the start of the year.

SpaceX gets a wave of bullish ratings from Wall Street analysts

SpaceX received more than a dozen positive analyst calls on Tuesday — including from major Wall Street banks — as they initiate coverage on Elon Musk’s space and AI company.

SpaceX went public on June 12 at a $2.2 trillion valuation, the largest debut in history. While the company hasn’t yet posted a profit, it seems to have convinced Wall Street that it will get there and grow its valuation on the way.

Of the at least 17 analysts that gave a rating on Tuesday, all but one gave it a “buy” or “outperform” rating. MoffettNathanson was "neutral."

The ratings come as SpaceX joined the Nasdaq 100 index, a benchmark tech-heavy basket of companies that underpins millions of portfolios. The inclusion adds built-in demand for the stock from index funds and ETFs.

Still, SpaceX fell more than 5% on Tuesday amid a broader sell-off, and is currently effectively flat from its opening price of $150 a share.
