Amazon, Uber, DoorDash and Costco will keep taking share because consumers want less friction. These are not delivery apps or retail formats but infrastructure for time-starved and money-starved households, and convenience is winning as consumers learn to manage food, fitness and health on their own. x.com 

DoorDash may be seeking acquired growth because its market share looks to have peaked. Its interest in buying Instacart looks desperate given its poor platform, adding to the short-DoorDash side of the long-Uber pair. x.com 

Uber and DoorDash run commodity businesses that depend on governments able to spoil them, leaving much risk and little upside. Per @OnlyInBOS, Massachusetts now guarantees Uber and Lyft drivers at least $34.48 an hour plus benefits under a $175M settlement, and per @Investor_NICK_, Minneapolis's city council is proposing an emergency meeting to ban DoorDash drone delivery to protect drivers' income. x.com  x.com 

Growth makes these 12 potential monster buys.

Uber's potential Instacart acquisition could create valuable marketplace and route-density synergies. Scaled marketplace assets are rare; buying one would also keep competitors from consolidating grocery delivery, a sticky category with large average orders. Growth alone is not the measure of the deal, and tech buybacks are overrated. x.com  x.com  x.com 

Shopify is ripe for agentic AI disruption, which is why the market stays bearish despite cheap-looking multiples and growing revenue. Its main selling point is hundreds of plug-and-play features, yet most stores need only a few, so a bloated platform can be replaced by custom solutions built from a prompt. Logistics can come from firms like ShipMonk and payments from Stripe, and merchants can buy vibe-coded stores cheaply. The shift is moving fast, even if not for everyone today. x.com  x.com  … Show more

Uber looks rather negative because driver reclassification, consumer cutbacks and easy switching threaten its business. Making drivers employees could raise costs and push ride prices up around 40%. Food delivery and comfort rides are cut when budgets tighten; riders switch to Lyft or Bolt for a few euros. Tesla or Waymo could bypass Uber with their own apps, and Google can scale quickly. Despite being a great company, Uber has too many unknowns; it is preferable to stay on the sidelines. x.com
