The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at 68 cents per share, which has declined by a penny over the past 30 days, indicating year-over-year growth of 78.95%
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is currently pegged at $3.37 billion, suggesting a 24.35% increase year over year.
The company’s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters while missing it once, with an average surprise of 35.69%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for this announcement:
Factors to Note
DoorDash’s third-quarter 2025 performance is expected to have benefited from strong total orders and Marketplace GOV, enhanced logistics efficiency and an increasing contribution from advertising. For the third quarter of 2025, DoorDash anticipates Marketplace GOV to be in the range of $24.2-$24.7 billion. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the third-quarter Marketplace GOV is pegged at $24.56 billion, suggesting 22.8% year-over-year growth.
DoorDash’s expanding partner base, which includes companies such as Dollar General, The Home Depot, Ace Hardware, McDonald’s, Kroger, Waymo, and Ibotta, is expected to have boosted total orders growth and broadened DoorDash’s reach and enhanced its service offerings in the to-be-reported quarter. In the third quarter of 2025, total orders increased 20% year over year to 761 million. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter total orders is pegged at 771 million, suggesting 19.9% year-over-year growth.
DoorDash’s growing efforts to expand its grocery offerings, improve user experience and increase DashPass adoption and the retention of customers are expected to have boosted growth in the grocery category in the to-be-reported quarter. The subscription service, DashPass, has reached an all-time high in subscribers. This growth is expected to have enhanced customer loyalty and increased order frequency in the third quarter.
Increasing monthly active users with strong contributions from domestic and international markets is expected to have aided DASH’s top-line growth.
However, DoorDash is facing extensive competition in its largest business category, the local food delivery logistics, which is expected to have hurt its top-line growth in the to-be-reported quarter.
What Our Model Says
Per the Zacks model, the combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. But that’s not the exact case here.
DoorDash has an Earnings ESP of -5.06% and a Zacks Rank #2 at present. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
