Cathie Wood's Ark Invest added to positions in CoreWeave, Oklo, and DoorDash after significant pullbacks from their 52-week highs. CoreWeave, a GPU computing infrastructure provider, has doubled revenue quarterly but remains unprofitable. Oklo, an energy company with nuclear recycling technology, is pre-revenue but positioned for AI's energy demands. DoorDash, the leading food delivery platform, faces headwinds from rising gas prices and economic concerns but shows strong revenue growth.

Serve Robotics, an AI-powered sidewalk delivery robot producer, has expanded its fleet from 100 robots in 2024 to 2,000 in 2025. The company's revenue surged from $2.7M to $25.9M year-over-year, with analyst projections reaching $131.5M by 2028. Trading at $9 per share (down from a December 2024 high of $22.92), the stock could potentially become an 8-10 bagger over the next decade if it maintains strong growth and captures market share in the expanding delivery robot sector.

Serve Robotics reported solid Q4 2025 results with expanding operations across cities, active robots, and partnerships with White Castle, Uber Eats, and DoorDash. With 29% short interest and 6.1 days to cover, a potential short squeeze could drive prices higher. However, analysts caution on cash burn matching revenue in 2026, with the company needing $25M CapEx against $26M expected revenue. The stock surged ~11% post-announcement, with analyst sentiment turning to Strong Buy and 87.5% buy-side bias, though profitability isn't expected until the next decade.

The article identifies seven US stocks trading at elevated valuations despite weak or inconsistent free cash flow profiles. These companies—Rivian, Snowflake, Lucid Group, Palantir, DoorDash, Upstart, and Carvana—face increased risk as they rely on external funding, operate in low-margin environments, or have valuation expansion outpacing underlying cash flow growth. The analysis warns that such stocks are vulnerable to sharp drawdowns in volatile markets when momentum-driven valuations face headwinds.

DoorDash triggered a rebound with its 2026 guidance update, with analysts forecasting 20-40% upside potential. The company reported strong Q4 2025 results with 40% revenue growth and 51% net income increase year-over-year. Institutional investors have been buying on balance for seven consecutive quarters, and technical indicators show bullish signals with critical price targets near $190 and $215 expected before mid-year.

DoorDash is expanding beyond restaurant delivery into grocery and retail, with unit economics expected to turn positive in the second half of 2026. The company has become the top third-party marketplace by order volume for grocery and retail in the U.S., with 30% of customers now ordering outside restaurants. While facing intense competition from Instacart and Amazon, DoorDash's grocery business represents a major long-term growth opportunity.

DoorDash missed Q4 earnings (48¢ vs 60¢ expected) and revenue ($3.96B vs $3.99B expected), causing stock volatility. However, analysts from Guggenheim and BofA Securities maintained Buy ratings, citing strong Marketplace GOV growth, progress on 2026 investments, and expectations for margin improvement in the second half of 2026. Guggenheim lowered its price target to $255 due to broader market conditions, while BofA viewed the report as a 'clearing event' for margin concerns.

U.S. stocks declined Thursday as President Trump hinted at potential military intervention in Iran, boosting crude oil to 7-month highs. The S&P 500 fell 0.3%, Nasdaq 100 and Dow Jones each dropped 0.5%. Energy stocks surged 0.8% while financials lagged.

U.S. stock futures declined on Thursday as escalating US-Iran tensions pushed oil prices higher and the Federal Reserve's January meeting minutes revealed disagreements on interest rates. Despite market expectations for two rate cuts by year-end, the CME FedWatch tool shows a 94% probability of unchanged rates in March. Key stocks in focus include DoorDash (up on positive guidance), eBay (up on strong earnings and Depop acquisition), and Walmart (down ahead of earnings).

DoorDash stock surged in pre-market trading despite missing Q4 estimates, buoyed by an upbeat Q1 outlook. The company demonstrates strong fundamentals with 38% revenue growth and solid market positioning, though it has declined 45% from October's all-time high. Technical analysis using Elliott Wave theory suggests the recent decline represents a correction phase, with potential for the uptrend to resume and reach new record highs.
