Did DASH Beat Earnings? Q2 2025 Results
DoorDash delivered a decisive breakout quarter in Q2 2025, posting earnings per share of $0.65 against a consensus estimate of $0.43, a 51.16% beat, while revenue climbed 24.9% year-over-year to $3.28 billion, underscoring a meaningful inflection toward sustained profitability. The headline numbers were driven by a sharp improvement in logistics efficiency, a growing advertising revenue contribution, and reduced credits and refunds as a percentage of Marketplace GOV, which itself reached $24.24 billion, up 23% year-over-year on 761 million total orders. Perhaps most strikingly, the company swung to a GAAP net income of $285 million from a loss of $157 million in Q2 2024, while Adjusted EBITDA surged 52% year-over-year to $655 million.

Forward Guidance & Outlook
For Q3 2025, DoorDash expects Marketplace GOV of $24.2 billion to $24.7 billion and Adjusted EBITDA of $680 million to $780 million. Full-year 2025 stock-based compensation expense is expected to be approximately $1.0 billion to $1.1 billion, and depreciation and amortization expense approximately $660 million to $700 million. The outlook assumes stable aggregate consumer demand and key foreign currency rates, and anticipates significant ongoing investment in new categories and international markets. The outlook excludes any potential impact from the proposed Deliveroo acquisition, which is expected to close in Q4 2025. The company cautioned that consumer spending deterioration or changes in the international operating environment, including geopolitical and currency risks, could drive results below expectations.
