DoorDash Q3 Earnings Preview: Can the Food Delivery Company Keep up With Demand?

DoorDash (NYSE: DASH) started as a food delivery company and is now moving into delivering other goods. At the pandemic's onset, the company caught a tailwind as millions of folks looked to avoid leaving their homes. But as the economy now reopens, some investors worry that DoorDash could experience a significant drop-off in orders and revenue.

So far, that scenario is not playing out. Instead, DoorDash's more difficult challenge has been fulfilling the increasing demand from customers.

Investors will want to tune in to the company's third-quarter earnings release on Nov. 9 to see what management says.
