DoorDash delivers an IPO filing

Robinhood Snacks, 16 November 2020

Drooling all over the S-1… DoorDash released its IPO paperwork on Friday, and didn’t hold back with the high-res food pics (so many poke bowls). Companies that are going public have to file a prospectus with the SEC so investors can get informed. Here’s what DoorDash delivered:

#1 food deliverer in the US: DoorDash has an enviable 50% share of the market. Uber Eats has 26%, Grubhub has 16%, and Postmates (which Uber’s buying) has 7%.
Sales more than tripled to $1.9B from January to September compared to the same period in 2019. 18M customers, 1M Dashers, and 390K merchants now use DoorDash’s platform.
It’s still not profitable. Buuuut: DoorDash significantly cut its net loss from $533M in the 2019 period to $149M in 2020.

DoorDash files for IPO, shows surging revenue during pandemic

Emily Bary and Levi Sumagaysay, 13 November 2020

DoorDash Inc., the leading food-delivery app in the nation, filed paperwork Friday morning for an initial public offering, giving investors a first glimpse into its fast revenue growth amid the pandemic — and its continued losses.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a boon to delivery businesses as people have had to stay home and in many cases outsource their shopping or food pickup. The company’s filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission shows just how big of a boost it has received. DoorDash’s revenue rose to $1.92 billion through the first nine months of the year, a 227% increase from the year-ago period, according to the company’s filing.

The San Francisco-based company, which said in a prospectus that its mission is “to grow and empower local economies,” intends to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker “DASH.”

JPMorgan Chase Pays nearly $1 Billion in Fines for Market Manipulation of Precious Metals and U.S. Treasuries

Carolina Gonzalez, 16 October 2016

JPMorgan Chase & Co. agreed to pay over $955 million to settle civil and criminal charges over a scheme involving fake trades in precious metals and U.S. treasuries designed to manipulate the market in an effort to enhance the bank’s profits and cut losses. The multi-agency enforcement action was brought by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). For nearly a decade, JPMorgan Chase & Co’s traders sitting in New York, London, and Singapore used spoofing to manipulate hundreds of thousands of transactions in precious metals futures markets, including gold and silver, as well as U.S. Treasury cash and futures markets.

The CFTC alone imposed a whopping $920 million fine, the largest ever imposed by the agency in a spoofing case, including nearly $312 million in restitution to harmed investors, $172 million in disgorgement of ill-gotten gains, and over $436 million in civil penalties. This record-setting action signals the CFTC’s resolute commitment to punish those who engage in manipulative and deceptive trading practices. The hefty fine also reflects the bank’s failure to prevent and cease the wrongdoing, as well as its failure to provide adequate cooperation to regulators in the early stages of the investigation.

CFTC & SEC: JP Morgan manipulated Treasuries market during flash crash period

dan.barnes, 29 September 2020

US market regulators the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) have fined JP Morgan over US$920 million in penalties and disgorgements for manipulative trading, or spoofing, in the US Treasuries, US Treasuries futures, and commodity markets, between 2009 and 2016. The CFTC noted that the bank also did not respond to warnings from the regulators or the CME and at points misled the investigation.

The bank’s behaviour during this period raises questions that neither the bank nor the regulators are prepared to answer, regarding its effect on market stability.

During the period in question, on 15 October 2014, the US Treasury market experienced a ‘flash crash’, which saw the 10-year treasury rate fall 34 basis points over a 10-minute period from 2.2% to 1.86%, a 52-week low, before rebounding for the end of day. Treasury futures volume reached nearly 1.6 million trades, an all-time record, having only broken the 800,000 trades a day barrier three times before.

A similar flash crash in the US equities markets in 2010 was attributed by the CFTC to manipulative trading by a lone trader on the CME via its E-mini S&P 500 futures.

When asked whether JP Morgan’s activity had been reviewed as a potential trigger of the 2014 flash crash, both the SEC and CFTC declined to comment. JP Morgan also declined to comment.

The press office of the CME, which is also the market for US Treasury futures, declined to comment on how JP Morgan had spoofed on its markets for eight years without being stopped.

The CFTC found that from at least 2008 through 2016, JP Morgan, “through numerous traders on its precious metals and Treasuries trading desks, including the heads of both desks, placed hundreds of thousands of orders to buy or sell certain gold, silver, platinum, palladium, Treasury note, and Treasury bond futures contracts with the intent to cancel those orders prior to execution.”
