DoorDash reported better-than-expected sales in the third quarter as it gained users and they ordered more frequently. The San Francisco delivery company said its total orders grew 24% to 543 million in the July-September period. That was well above the 521 million orders Wall Street had forecast. DoorDash said revenue jumped 27% to $2.16 billion, also ahead of what Wall Street was expecting. The company said its monthly active users — or customers who placed at least one order in the past month — increased at double-digit percentage rates in September, with strong demand from both the U.S. and international markets.
