Investing.com - Benchmark raised its price target on DoorDash Inc. (NASDAQ:DASH) to $315 from $260 on Thursday, while maintaining a Buy rating on the food delivery company’s stock. The stock, currently trading at $267.76, has delivered an impressive 112% return over the past year, according to InvestingPro data.

The firm cited DoorDash’s "steady eddy quarter" with healthy gross order value (GOV) and a second consecutive sequential average order value (AOV) uptick as factors behind the increased target.

Benchmark highlighted that DoorDash’s advertising revenue has reached a $1 billion annual run-rate at some point in 2024, exceeding the firm’s implied 2025 ad revenue forecast. The June acquisition of Symbiosys brings offsite controls and closed-loop attribution to DoorDash’s ad stack leveraging its first-party data.

The research firm noted that 25% of DoorDash users have made purchases in new verticals outside restaurants, which alongside grocery expansion, will likely continue to put modest upward pressure on AOV. Management also highlighted expanding restaurant order frequency, which Benchmark believes is partially attributable to expanding grocery supply and increased promotional activity.

Benchmark pointed out the contrast between Instacart (NASDAQ:CART)’s approximately $110 AOV and DoorDash’s approximately $30 AOV, highlighting "two very different cohort demos that have yet to converge." The firm’s survey work suggests DoorDash is making significant inroads in grocery, with share gains comparable to Walmart+.
