DoorDash has growing revenues and increasing reinvestment in the business, healthy debt levels, and generally positive cash flows. However, the firm suffers from slimmer gross margins than its peers and consistently negative margins with a stable trend. Finally, we note that DoorDash has positive expected EPS Growth.

DoorDash does not have a meaningful trailing P/E ratio since its earnings per share are negative. Its forward EPS guidance is negative too, at $-0.8. The average P/E ratio for the Industrials sector is 20.49. Furthermore, DoorDash is likely overvalued compared to the book value of its equity, since its P/B ratio of 5.32 is higher than the sector average of 3.78. Overall, DoorDash's lofty valuation in terms of earnings and assets is to some extent attenuated by its strong cash flow trend and reasonable levels of debt.
