DoorDash, Inc. DASH reported better-than-expected second-quarter revenue results on Thursday.
DoorDash rallied sharply after posting Q2 results, owing to tremendous order strength as well as margin leverage. The company has vastly expanded its order categories, ranging from groceries to alcohol and sporting goods. Non-food orders are representing a greater percentage of new users. The company is also seeing record additions of DashPass memberships, and is also generating more revenue from advertising, boosting its margin profile.
DoorDash said Thursday that it set records for orders and revenue in the second quarter, growth that came despite slowing U.S. restaurant traffic.
