Tonix Pharmaceuticals stock halted ahead of FDA approval news
Investing.com - Jefferies downgraded DoorDash Inc. (NASDAQ:DASH) from Buy to Hold on Tuesday, while simultaneously raising its price target to $250.00 from $235.00. According to InvestingPro data, the stock is currently trading near its 52-week high of $248.74, with a remarkable 130% return over the past year.
The research firm acknowledged DoorDash’s strong profit potential and industry-leading EBITDA growth but suggested these factors may not be sufficient to justify continued stock outperformance without applying optimistic valuations to the company’s non-core business segments. InvestingPro analysis indicates the stock is trading at elevated multiples, with an EV/EBITDA ratio of 183x and a P/E ratio of 298x, suggesting potential overvaluation relative to peers.
Jefferies expressed concern that DoorDash’s recent increase in affordability initiatives could potentially limit upside to the company’s take rate, affecting future revenue growth.
The downgrade comes as DoorDash shares have appreciated approximately 45% year-to-date, with the stock’s valuation now standing at a 120% premium compared to the broader Internet sector.
Despite the rating reduction, Jefferies recognized DoorDash’s "strong execution and growth algorithm" but concluded these positive attributes appear to be fully reflected in the current stock price.
