DoorDash Inc (NYSE:DASH) is soaring, after the food delivery platform shared a fourth-quarter revenue beat and record number of orders, which also toppled expectations. The company's losses of 45 cents per share were wider than analysts' estimates, however. Separately, the firm announced that it is introducing express grocery delivery through its partnership with Albertsons Companies. At last glance, DASH is up 17% to trade at $111.02, and was trading as high as $116.00 earlier in the session. 

DASH is brushing off no fewer than five price-target cuts today, including one from Susquehanna to $145 from $260. There is plenty of room for upgrades, however, should the stock continue to rebound, as seven of the 14 analysts in coverage carry a "hold" rating. 

DoorDash stock recently hit a Feb. 3 record low of $91.96, after which the stock began to consolidate above the $93 level. The equity is down roughly 26% year-to-date, though its strong revenue brings speculation that DASH may have more to offer following the pandemic than other stay-at-home stocks. 

Unsurprisingly, options volume is pacing for the top percentile of its annual range, with options being traded at 20 times the intraday average. So far, 43,000 calls and 44,000 puts have crossed the tape. Expiring tomorrow, the February 120 call is the most popular, with new positions being sold to open there. 

 

AI has exploded ever since ChatGPT set the world on fire near the end of 2022.

Numerous companies with connections to artificial intelligence have seen their stocks soar.

That includes Nvidia, the poster boy of AI.

Its stock has skyrocketed 716% since ChatGPT’s debut. But here’s the thing …

While everyone’s still counting their money from this first AI boom … Nvidia and countless others have moved on to the next stage.

That includes Big Tech, which is currently making a series of peculiar investments in a few strange companies. This has nothing to do with tech. At least on the surface …

Yet, these strange investments could be the early ripples of a massive wave …Without them, ChatGPT could stop operating … Amazon, Google, Microsoft and more could see profits drop drastically.

In fact, Elon Musk says these investments are critical when it comes to solving the number one problem facing AI.

Now, Silicon Valley legend Michael Robinson has identified two companies that could play a significant role in the solution.

Their stocks just may be the key to AI 2.0.

Find out more about these two companies today.
