Walter Cicchetti/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Over the past few years, DoorDash ( DASH ) has fundamentally proven its ability to scale while maintaining a path toward massive profitability. The stock has sold down 45%+ from its all-time highs. I believe this is an opportunity to buy a hyper-growth platform at a bargain. The sell-off was caused by agentic disruption fears and new growth investments, then fueled by the general market correction and higher gas prices for drivers. These problems are either misunderstood or are short-term headwinds, while the fundamentals continue to improve. I rank DASH as a Strong Buy with a fair value of $175. The main concerns that the market had from its Q4 earnings came from its bias towards sacrificing short-term margin expansion for accelerated growth. Investments require execution and cause margins to be compressed. However, I believe DASH is positioning itself to have durable growth and margin expansion driven by geographic expansion, operating leverage, and its advertising business. Business Overview DoorDash runs at an incredible scale, completing 903 million orders last quarter, up 32% YoY. The recent spike in performance came from the inclusion of its Deliveroo acquisition. Quarterly Reports/Google Sheets DoorDash is more than just a restaurant delivery app. It is the infrastructure for local e-commerce. The market is underestimating their aggressive expansion into grocery and retail (G&R), with 30%+ of MAU using it and expected profitability later this year. DASH now consists of three main global pillars: DoorDash for North America and Australia, Wolt scaling throughout Central and Eastern Europe, and the massive $3.9 billion acquisition of Deliveroo for Western Europe and the Middle East. Then DASH drives higher frequency and retention with a monthly subscription, with over 35 million people holding DashPass and Wolt+. An underappreciated portion of DASH is their advertising business. Their apps are virtual real esta...

China's Quiet Gains During US-Israel War On Iran Authored by Hamza Zaman via RealClearDefense , The Iran conflict continues to protract despite President Trump’s assumption of a quick and easy victory. The goals of regime change and the decimation of the Iranian ballistic missile program remain unfulfilled, and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz further adds to the strategic qualms of the Western powers. The GCC states are also facing significant damage to their services industry, transport infrastructure and energy sector. While both sides suffer great losses in this protracted conflict, America’s biggest geopolitical rival – China – seems to be gaining palpable economic and strategic benefits from the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Challenges to Petrodollar and Yuan’s Rise against U.S. Dollar Iranian strikes on GCC energy infrastructure, in retaliation for Israeli strikes on Iranian oil refineries and gas infrastructure, sent shockwaves through global energy supply chains. This resulted in supply chain disruptions , shortages , rationing and price hikes . These energy supplies are traded in U.S. dollars and constitute a discernible source of demand for the U.S. dollar. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz further amplifies supply chain disruption, forcing buyers to choose alternative sources, including Russia . Iran’s announcement of a safe passage for oil tankers in exchange for payment in Yuan is being hailed as a direct assault on the primacy of the U.S. dollar and the petrodollar system . The outcome of these events is the diminution of the U.S. dollar's hegemony and the rise of the Chinese Yuan. China continues to purchase discounted oil from Iran in Yuan, and the procurement of Russian oil will also be in non-USD denominations . The fall of the U.S. dollar will accentuate China’s rise as a major competitor of the U.S.. China is already vying for a common BRICS currency , and its efforts will intensify in the future, as the U.S. dollar continues to weak...
