Is DoorDash Making a Mistake Expanding Into Europe?
In a bold expansion move, food and retail delivery company DoorDash (NYSE: DASH) announced its acquisition of Finnish delivery company Wolt Enterprises on Nov. 9. The American company is shelling out $8.1 billion in stock to obtain a significant foothold in Europe and Japan.
The stock market responded jubilantly, sending DoorDash's share price soaring about 30% by Nov. 15. Let's look at why the acquisition could be bullish in the short run, but doesn't solve a big long-term problem confronting DoorDash and the rest of the food delivery sector.
