Market Focus08-07

On August 7, Instacart, Inc. (Maplebear Inc.) rose 12.6% in regular trading, trading at $50.745/share, with turnover of $319 million.

The surge was driven by the company's Q2 earnings report and strong Q3 guidance. For Q2, the company reported revenue of $1.043 billion, surpassing the consensus estimate of $1.027 billion. Gross transaction value reached $10.35 billion versus the $10.20 billion expected, while adjusted core profit came in at $313 million, beating the $298 million estimate. However, GAAP EPS of $0.45 missed the $0.54 consensus.

More notably, the company issued Q3 guidance significantly above expectations, projecting GTV of $10.30 billion to $10.55 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $320 million to $340 million. Management noted that Instacart's flywheel effect continues to strengthen its marketplace, advertising, and enterprise businesses as consumers increasingly turn to online grocery shopping for value. Morgan Stanley subsequently raised its price target to $58 from $52 while maintaining an Equalweight rating.
