Jim Cramer Says DoorDash, Inc. (DASH) Is 'Worth Your Trust'

We recently published an article titled Did Jim Cramer Get These 10 Predictions Right or Wrong? In this article, we are going to take a look at where DoorDash, Inc. (NASDAQ:DASH) stands against the other stocks Jim Cramer recently talked about.

During the most recent episode of Mad Money, which aired on Monday, the 12^th of May, Jim Cramer discussed the recent market rally and encouraged his viewers to stay invested. He also emphasized the importance of earnings, saying:

“Earnings matter again, okay? That’s what happened last night when the United States and China reached an agreement, however temporary, to hold off trade armageddon. The rollback of the exorbitant tariffs to much more reasonable levels caused the stock market to explode.”

Although Cramer was happy about the market’s recovery, he reminded his viewers that the S&P 500 is still flat on a year-to-date basis and discussed how other regions are doing:

“Now don’t get me wrong, I’m glad it happened, but I just spent a week in Europe, and it is stunning how much better the markets are doing over there.”

His final reminder was for his viewers to just stay invested in the market and avoid trying to time the market, saying:

“Bottom line: It’s better to stay in, stay on, and let her ride than to try to pick the perfect moment to trade in and out and in and out of the stock market. By the way, that’s not much of a strategy. It’s more of a game of chicken where there are no winners, just losers who think they are smarter than the average bear.”

Later in the segment, Cramer turned to food delivery players and focused on DoorDash, Inc. (NASDAQ:DASH), following its earnings report and a 10% stock drop due to cautious guidance at the time. Despite investor skepticism, he remained optimistic back then and said:

"The food delivery service company delivered a solid quarter with seemingly grim guidance that sent the stock down more than 10% the next day. [...] I wanted to see if people were backing away from DoorDash's offerings [...] but I didn’t see much evidence of demand slackening in the quarter, and the guidance doesn’t reflect that either. [...] They’re just making some big investments in order to bolster the company’s growth in the second half of the year and beyond. [...] Personally, I think DoorDash has earned the benefit of the doubt here. [...] But at the very moment, there’s very little patience for a new investment cycle, which is what the company seemed to be telegraphing. [...] In the end, I got tremendous respect for DoorDash’s co-founder and CEO Tony Xu, and like I said, my gut instinct is that the company deserves the benefit of the doubt as it spends more to grow the business. [...] I think DoorDash is worth your trust — just don’t expect it to earn the market’s trust anytime soon."

DoorDash defied the doubt and surged 69.77%, making this one of Cramer’s best calls from that segment.

DoorDash, Inc. (NASDAQ:DASH) is an online food delivery platform that connects consumers with local restaurants and merchants through its on-demand logistics network. Cramer had this to say in April regarding increasing competition in the industry:

“Okay, well look—it’s an expensive stock, but I believe in Tony Xu. I have believed in Tony Xu when it was private and when I owned restaurants, and I think he’s doing a terrific job. I actually liked the quarter. I think people were way too quick to say it wasn’t great. They, I think, will be judged harshly.”

Overall DASH ranks 8th on our list of the stocks Jim Cramer recently discussed.
