Foolish Take

Abacus FCF Advisors' DoorDash sale comes as the food delivery platform’s shares climbed more than 70% over the past year. For long-term investors, Abacus’s exit likely reflects a broader rebalancing trend—locking in gains after a period of rapid appreciation while pivoting toward companies with stronger dividend profiles and less cyclicality.

DoorDash’s fundamentals have strengthened sharply—the second quarter marked record highs in orders, gross order volume, and net income, with revenue up 25% year over year to $3.3 billion and adjusted EBITDA surging 52% to $655 million. Despite this, management warned of ongoing international risks and heavy investment needs as the company expands into new categories and geographies.

The firm reports Q3 earnings on November 5, when investors will watch whether margins hold amid rising competition and regulatory scrutiny. With DoorDash’s growth now moderating and valuation stretched, this next earnings call could prove pivotal in justifying its premium pricing.
