An expected point-of-sale technology rollout from DoorDash Inc. is poised to deal a blow to payments firms such as Toast Inc., according to Rothschild & Co Redburn’s Dominic Ball.

Ball cut the recommendation on Toast’s stock to neutral from buy, saying he expects DoorDash’s next expansion to involve in-store restaurant technology set to rival existing software from Toast and other payments-related companies. Ball has had a buy rating on Toast since 2024.
