Instacart reported a 17% rise in third-quarter revenue to $1.1 billion, fueled by higher order volume and advertising. Adjusted EBITDA climbed 23%, but high stock-based compensation limited reported net income growth. The firm announced plans to be acquired by DoorDash for $17 billion.
Instacart’s first-mover advantage in grocery delivery has enabled it to build an extensive, multisided network with broad geographic coverage and over 1,800 retail partnerships.
The grocery delivery market is highly competitive, and Instacart faces disadvantages in scale, distribution, and diversification compared with Uber, DoorDash, Amazon.com, and Walmart.
