What this return means
DoorDash (DASH) turned $1,000 into $1,293 since 2020. The total return is +29.3% over 6.6 years, as of 2026-06-01.
That is only about 4% a year once you compound it across 6.6 years. By comparison the S&P 500 returned about $2,540 on the same stake, edging out DoorDash by close to $1,247. The index compounded at about 15.2% a year, a reminder that a single stock can lag a basket of them.
Getting here meant sitting through real volatility. The best single year was 2025 at +81.2%, and the worst was 2023 at -49.0%. At its lowest point the position was down about 70% from an earlier high. These figures use split-adjusted closing prices and exclude dividends, taxes, trading fees, and inflation, so a real after-tax result would differ.

What if you invested $100 a month instead?
Most people do not drop a lump sum in on day one. They add a fixed amount every month. Putting $100 into DoorDash at the close of every month from December 2020 through June 2026 means 67 buys and $6,700 contributed over about 5.6 years.
$100/month, dollar-cost averaged
$11,180
+66.9% on $6,700 in
Same $6,700, all in at the start
$8,661
+29.3% on $6,700 in
Spreading the buys out beat going all in at the start by $2,519. That happens when the price spent time below where it began, so averaging in caught the cheaper months. Averaging in also meant an average buy price of $110.59 per share across the whole stretch, so the monthly buyer never had to time a single low. Neither number counts dividends, taxes, or trading costs.
