Joe Guszkowski, 08 December 2020

Third-party delivery company DoorDash will set a share price for its initial public offering Tuesday, riding a wave of momentum that could bring it a valuation of more than $30 billion.

In the latest sign of demand for its stock, the company on Friday raised the price range for its shares to between $90 and $95, up from $75 to $85.

But not everyone shares that enthusiasm about the IPO. Some investors question the terms of the offering and the company’s readiness for the public market, while others believe its growth runway is shrinking.

Hyliion Stock Isn’t Worth Your Money At This Point

Alex Sirois, 29 October 2020

Investors looking for further alternative fuel vehicle plays might consider Hyliion (NYSE:HYLN) and Hyliion stock. Hyliion has already gone public through a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). Now it is working towards production. The company is quite different from industry peers Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and Nikola (NASDAQ:NKLA) in its approach and offerings. Yet, it does bear some similarities to Nikola, specifically the manner in which it has come to market.

Hyliion Holdings (NYSE:HYLN) stock has had a difficult launch since it closed its reverse merger with Tortoise Acquisition Corp.
