Carvana sold more cars than Wall Street expected in the fourth quarter, but concerns over the company's profitability have pushed the stock into the red this morning.

Carvana is down 16% in pre-market action.

The used car marketplace experienced a 58% surge in revenue.

On a per-unit basis, retail vehicle sales were up 43%, while wholesale increased 66%.

However, when you break down the numbers further, it shows a $244 decline in gross profit per vehicle and an 18.2% decline in wholesale marketplace gross profit.

The company's profitability gave a mixed picture, as adjusted EBITDA increased to $511 million but missed the $539 million estimate.

while on a per-share basis, adjusted profits surged to $4.22 per share from $0.56 per share, although this was attributed to one-time charges and so is not comparable to $1.12 estimates.

The company did not issue sales guidance for the full year, but said it continues to expect to sell 3 million cars between 2030 and 2035.

DoorDash is up 13% in pre-market trading.

Shares surged as strong order growth and upbeat guidance outweighed a Q4 top and bottom line miss.

Orders climbed 32% to $903 million and gross order value jumped 39% to $29.7 billion, both above expectations.

The Q1 outlook for GOV and EBITDA came in strong.

$31 to $31.8 billion and $675 to $775 million, respectively.

Investors look past softer margins and heavy investment spending, choosing to focus on demand momentum and growth visibility.

Now we have an update to a story we brought you last week here on Wall Street Breakfast.
