What Are Wall Street Analysts Saying?

Broker activity over the past three months has been dominated by target increases. Market data records Wells Fargo raising its target from $225 to $230 on 5 October 2026 and Loop Capital lifting its target from $225 to $280 on 22 September. Scotiabank initiated coverage with a Sector Outperform rating and a $275 target on 9 September, and UBS reiterated a Buy rating with a $295 target the day before. Rosenblatt initiated with a Buy rating and a $270 target. Not every view is positive: Barclays downgraded the shares on 24 August, and Wedbush, Roth Capital and Piper Sandler hold Neutral-type ratings with targets near $220. In August, Truist's $336 target and Benchmark's $295 target were among the highest.

What Could Help the Stock Reach the Price Target?

The second data set shows consensus revenue of $17.83 billion for 2026, an increase of about 30% on the $13.72 billion reported for 2025, with non-GAAP earnings per share of $5.87 compared with $5.10. Sustained growth at that pace could support the higher targets, and further increases are expected in 2027 estimates of $21.54 billion in revenue and $8.25 in earnings per share. Analysts also cite scale in delivery, advertising and new categories as potential drivers, although those themes depend on execution. A rising share of coverage with Buy ratings, including the newer initiations from Scotiabank and Rosenblatt, shows continuing analyst interest.

What Could Prevent the Stock Reaching the Target?

The range of views is wide. The lowest target on market data is $193, barely below the current price, while the second data set shows a low of $172, and the highest is $350. Barclays' downgrade and several Hold ratings show that some analysts doubt the shares can deliver much more upside soon. Competition in delivery, labour and regulatory costs, and heavy investment spending could all squeeze margins. Because the 2026 earnings estimates range from $4.56 to $7.00 per share on the second data set, a miss against forecasts could lead to target reductions.

What Should Investors Watch Next?

Further target changes following the third-quarter reporting season will be informative, particularly from brokers that have recently raised their figures. Commentary on order growth, margins and investment plans is likely to matter most. It is also worth following how analysts react if the shares move materially closer to, or further from, the $254 average.

DoorDash's Wide Target Range Hinges on Delivering Roughly 30% Revenue Growth

DoorDash closed at $196.50 on 9 October 2026, up 2.5%, with the $254.48 consensus target about 29.5% higher and broker activity over the past three months dominated by increases. The range of views is wide, from a $193 low barely below the price to a $350 high, and Barclays' downgrade and Hold-style ratings near $220 at Wedbush, Roth and Piper Sandler show some analysts doubt much more upside soon. Estimates call for 2026 revenue of $17.83 billion, up about 30%, and a miss against forecasts could lead to target reductions.
