DoorDash, Inc. (NASDAQ:DASH) is one of the best stocks to buy according to Jim Simons’ Renaissance Technologies. DoorDash, Inc. (NASDAQ:DASH) announced on October 2 that it had finalized its acquisition of UK food delivery firm Deliveroo after receiving approval from the UK High Court. The deal was valued at approximately £2.9 billion (about $3.9 billion), with Deliveroo shareholders receiving 180 pence per share in cash; a 44% premium over Deliveroo’s share price when talks began.
