DoorDash – Shares of the food delivery company traded slightly lower, giving up earlier gains, as investors digested a quarterly report that showed a bigger-than-expected loss per share. DoorDash lost 72 cents per share in the second quarter, more than a 41-cent loss analysts had expected, according to Refinitiv. His earnings, however, exceeded expectations.

The investment firm said Sunrun shares could rise on the back of an ambitious clean energy bill that could “trigger a long cycle of subsidized growth” if passed. Sunrun also reported earnings this week that beat analysts’ expectations, according to FactSet.
