“US Stocks wavered ahead of additional earnings…” Article proceeds to list LYFT, BYND, SPCE, and AMC. Glad to see someone finally recognizes these are the real canaries for health of the economy…

The entire point of Doordash, Uber, lyft, etc is to destroy competition, lock down market share, get people hooked on their product, then raise prices. How much they make now is completely useless information.
