DoorDash fell as much as 8.8% on Thursday, paring some of the massive gains seen in its first day of public trading.

Even with the company's mild Thursday drop, DoorDash still boasts a market cap of roughly $52 billion. That handily exceeds the $15 billion valuation it achieved in the private market earlier this year.
Some of the market's bullishness was linked to the firm's outperformance throughout the coronavirus pandemic. DoorDash's third-quarter revenue grew 268% from the year-ago period as Americans increasingly moved to delivery services over eating out.
The company's post-IPO rally sets the stage for similar pops for upcoming debuts. Airbnb is set to begin trading on Thursday after raising $3.5 billion in its own offering. The company priced shares at $68 each, above the $56 to $60 range it forecasted on Monday.
ContextLogic - the parent company of Wish - and gaming platform Roblox are also slated to go public before the end of the year.
DoorDash traded at $176.25 as of 10:45 am ET on Thursday.
