Is DoorDash’s Hibbett Partnership Reshaping the Investment Case For DASH?

January 26, 2026

  • Earlier this week, Hibbett, Inc. and DoorDash announced a nationwide partnership that adds roughly 1,000 Hibbett stores to the DoorDash Marketplace and DashPass, offering on-demand delivery of athletic footwear, apparel, and accessories across the United States.

  • The deal both extends DoorDash’s reach into key Southeast and Southwest regions and strengthens the appeal of DashPass for higher-income and loyal users who increasingly rely on the membership for everyday retail orders.

  • We’ll now examine how this expanded Hibbett retail footprint on DoorDash, and its integration into DashPass, shapes the company’s investment narrative.

To own DoorDash, you have to believe the business can turn its food delivery scale into a broader local commerce platform, while justifying a very rich earnings multiple with sustained revenue and profit growth. The Hibbett partnership fits neatly into that story: about 1,000 additional athletic stores deepen DoorDash’s non-restaurant offering and add more value to DashPass, where higher-income and loyal users are already becoming more important. In the near term, this looks incremental rather than thesis-changing, especially against bigger catalysts such as upcoming Q4 2025 results, the planned 2026 investment cycle expected to cost hundreds of millions of US dollars, and progress expanding retail and grocery. Key watchpoints remain regulatory pressure on fees and tipping, the risk that heavy reinvestment dilutes returns on equity, and whether high expectations embedded in the valuation can be supported.

However, the regulatory overhang on pricing and tipping is something investors should not ignore. DoorDash’s shares have been on the rise but are still potentially undervalued. Find out how large the opportunity might be.
