Needham cuts DoorDash price target to $235 amid regulatory uncertainty over CART deal

Needham lowered its price target for DoorDash Inc. to $235 from $265 while keeping a Buy rating, citing the Department of Justice's pending review of the company's CART acquisition. The analyst noted that the regulatory outcome could pressure the stock's valuation multiple. DoorDash reported third‑quarter 2026 earnings of $1.06 per share and revenue of $4.61 billion, beating estimates.

The reduced target signals that analysts see heightened regulatory risk, which may limit upside for investors until approval is secured. The lower target also narrows the price upside from the current $179 level.
