DoorDash Soars to All-Time High as Record-Breaking Results Shock the Market

Wall Street's favorite food courier just served up a piping-hot surprise.

DoorDash stock smashed through its previous ceiling today, hitting an all-time high after dropping earnings numbers that left analysts scrambling to upgrade their price targets. The delivery giant's feast-or-famine business model finally found its groove—though let's see how long that lasts before the next 'growth adjustment.'

Bullish investors are licking their lips while short sellers get steamrolled. The market's appetite for pandemic-era darlings remains insatiable—even as Fed rate cuts loom like heartburn after a midnight burrito.

One thing's certain: When the algos smell blood in the water, they don't care if it's ketchup or earnings beat sauce. Bon appétit, traders.
