What to Watch Ahead of DoorDash Q2 Earnings
DoorDash (NASDAQ:DASH) reports Q2 2025 results after the bell on August 6. Analysts expect $0.44 in EPS on $3.2 billion in revenue, a 20% top-line growth. The stock is up 53% year-to-date and 122% over the past 12 months, recently hitting all-time highs as investors price in margin expansion and platform monetization. The call will spotlight profitability and segment performance. In Q1, DoorDash posted positive adjusted EBITDA and improving contribution margins across U.S. and international markets. Analysts will watch whether new growth areas such as ads, DashPass subscriptions, and logistics infrastructure are contributing meaningfully to cash flow, without pressuring unit economics. Updates on retention, order frequency, and cost control will be central to gauging sustainability. Commentary on the integration of Deliveroo, which DoorDash recently acquired, will also be closely watched. Investors will assess how the acquisition affects DoorDash's international positioning, cost structure, and competitive leverage in key European markets. With sentiment bullish and valuation stretched, Q2 must validate that DoorDash's scale benefits, diversified offerings, and disciplined execution can hold up even if consumer delivery behavior normalizes.
