Guidance is gone and the earnings call is cancelled: Instacart is now a deal story, with DoorDash acquiring it in a cash-and-stock transaction valued near $17 billion. Revenue beat expectations while EPS came in missing expectations, and merger arithmetic now drives the stock.
Latest Activity
DoorDash doubled net income to $466 million, topping expectations on both lines, proof it can fund the roughly $17 billion Instacart acquisition from a position of strength.
Two companies now clear more than $200 billion in annual food orders between them, a duopoly scale that turns every point of share shift into real money for Uber and DoorDash holders.

Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer 9/29/26
- Cramer says the 30-year Treasury yield is the highest in 24 years, with over 40% of S&P 500 names in a bear market
- Public backlash against AI and data centers is the new narrative risk that could make October ugly
- Goldman Sachs called the most beaten-down of a caller's bank ideas alongside Capital One and BNY Mellon
- Interviews with Meta's Dina Powell McCormick on its AI agent Muse and BWX Technologies on its new long-term strategy
Cramer's message: public perception is now the AI trade's problem, and he thinks that plus long-end yields sets up a rough October. He still wants Goldman Sachs on weakness, calling it the most beaten-down of the bank names raised by a caller.
AMC Entertainment's 10.88% jump to $3.26 was the only double-digit move of the session, and the downside was where the size was: five names finished off more than 6%, led by Arm at -8.48%. Chip and consumer-tech leaders took the brunt of it.
A 5.2% slide to $179.77 knocks roughly $4 billion off DoorDash's $73.5 billion market cap in a single session. Moves this size are rare for the name outside earnings, so the close is worth watching.
