Q: Hi 5i
I could not find Maplebear inc in you r data base.... Could you provide any insight/opinion to the following comments by wolfe research and the possibility of a potential acquisition ....
" the stock has rallied 13% so far this year, aided in part by a Wolfe Research analyst call last week that suggested Instacart could be a good acquisition target for Uber. Instacart last week declined to comment on the rumor. "
Q: It seems the outlook for Uber is changing positively. Although I don't think it can be placed in the same rarefied space as GOOG, AMZN etc in the technology space, do you see it as getting to occupy the same space in the next 5 to 7 years (my time frame before drawing down).
Please briefly give your bull case and bear case for this tech co
Q: Any thoughts on DoorDash? I know they aren't profitable yet, but for companies like Dash and UberEats, do you think they'll ever get to unit or even whole company profitability?
Q: Hello 5i
Could I have your assessment of Door Dash please?
The last question was Dec. 2020 and they have reported their most recent quarter.
Thank you
Dave
Q: Hi 5i team,
It seems the IPO market is in a frenzy these days, with DASH and ABNB, in particular. I always enjoy reading Professor Damodaron, as per your recent blog, and his musings on ABNB. He views fair value at $36B. The IPO was priced at $68, resulting in an initial company value of $47 billion. It opened around $145, about 3 times the Professor’s view of fair value.
Some market analysts view these IPOs as a market top, a view I don’t share. I just think people are crazy to pay these prices to get a pizza delivered to your door.
Thanks again for your thoughts on this frenzy and what it means for the markets, if anything.
Dave
