DoorDash (DASH) shares traded at an all-time high Thursday, a day after the food-delivery service posted better-than-anticipated results as orders jumped.

Revenue was up 25% year-over-year to $3.28 billion, also more than forecasts. Total orders increased 20% to 761 million, and marketplace gross order value (GOV) rose 23% to $24.24 billion, topping expectations as well.
All four metrics were quarterly records.
The company noted that orders accelerated in the U.S, with “notable strength in the U.S. restaurant category,” and that they expanded even more in international markets.
It said the quarterly performance “reflects our team’s innovation, operational excellence, and hard work, and we intend to continue investing to expand the scale, scope, and capabilities of our business going forward.”
Shares of DoorDash advanced 4% to about $268 in recent trading after earlier hitting a record $278.15. They are up about 60% year-to-date. TradingView
