By Reuters News16:02 (UTC), 5 November 2026 Updated

** Shares of food delivery DoorDash DASH.O down 14% at $170.92

** Stock rose as much as 8.6% on Wednesday

** Amazon AMZN.O announces partnership with Uber Eats, says prime members will get $0 delivery and $20 off in their first two orders of $25 or more through platform

** Amazon earlier had a restaurant delivery partnership with GrubHub

** DoorDash on Thursday announced partnership with ride-hailing firm Lyft LYFT.O for in-ride ordering

** "The market appears to be reacting to Amazon's new partnership with Uber Eats, as well as a lukewarm response to DoorDash's partnership with Lyft" - eMarketer analyst Zak Stambor said

** DoorDash's plan of $17 billion acquisition of Instacart CART.O was a big move, but it's hard to compete with two giants joining forces, deal puts more competitive pressure on DoorDash, Emarketer analysts added

** As of last close, DASH stock up 17.3% since before CART acquisition was announced
