Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.

FDN, BKNG, CRM, DASH: Large Outflows Detected at ETF

Thursday, August 20th, 2026
After yesterday’s announcement that the U.S. Treasury was adding liquidity to the long-term (30 year) bond market, we saw an immediate bump to pre-market indexes as bond yield rates dropped. In one day, that seems to have turned around: the 30-year bond is now back up to +5.25%, the 10-year at +4.71% and the 2-year +4.19%. Apply this to today’s pre-market indexes, and the results aren’t pretty: the Dow is down -440 points at this hour, the S&P 500 is -44 and the Nasdaq is -250 points.
Add to this higher spot oil prices both internationally (Brent crude is $94 per barrel [/bbl]) and domestically (WTI is $87/bbl) as the “economic D-day” is promised by the White House in its now six-month war with Iran. This helps push market futures lower with struggles in the global oil market appearing to continue. We don’t plant our seeds too deep in the soil regarding news items on the Strait of Hormuz, however; everything there is subject to change.
Weekly Jobless Claims Stay at Historic Lows
If you only read the labor market picture from Weekly Jobless Claims, you’d think we’d be having the most robust economy in a generation. Initial Claims came in below estimates at 206K, the lowest since registering 200K in the last week of July — and well off the 250K+ prints we’d seen sporadically in the past year or so, where we thought we might wind up by now. Continuing Claims ticked up to 1.799 million from an upwardly revised 1.781 million, also extremely low — we haven’t seen 1.8 million since the last week of June.
However, it seems worth pointing out that, depending on which state you live in, filing for unemployment immediately after finding yourself out of work may not make as much economic sense as picking up a gig driving for DoorDash DASH or Uber UBER. There are also a considerable amount of Baby Boomers retiring altogether from the workforce. And, as we’ve noted, we continue to be in a “low hire/low fire” labor market.
Philly Fed Highest Since Great Reopening: 47.4
After the Empire State manufacturing survey posted its highest level of the past year earlier this week, the Philly Fed manufacturing index cranked out its best performance in August since April of 2021 -- the foothills of the Great Reopening following the Covid pandemic. This follows July’s 41.4, which itself was the strongest print since November of 2021.
For some perspective, look where Philly Fed numbers were just a few years ago: nearly every month between June 2022 and February 2024 were negative. That has turned around in a big way, whether via data-center buildouts, the Chips Act, etc. We’re now up 11 of the past 14 quarters on Philadelphia-area business growth.
Earnings Results at a Glance: WMT, DE & More
Walmart WMT posted earnings of $0.81 per share versus expectations for $0.73, for an +11% positive surprise. The company also upped guidance, though rather conservatively. That said, year-over-year comps missed expectations, and shares are -7.5% on the news. Concerns regarding the shopping attitudes of its working-class base and a clear overvaluation (40x P/E) are helping prime the slide. For more on WMT’s earnings, click here.
Deere & Co. DE shares are up +1.4% in early trading, as its fiscal Q3 earnings posted a +6.5% beat: $5.10 per share versus $4.79 in the Zacks consensus. The company saw a big jump in its Construction segment (+84% — data-centers building equipment?) while also realizing $110 million in tariff refunds. For more on DE’s earnings, click here.
Advance Auto Parts AAP posted an impressive earnings beat of +27.2% this morning, but came up just shy on the revenues side and offered weaker guidance. Shares on a down morning like this are compounded: -18% at this hour. More evidence the consumer is tightening their collective belt? For more on AAP’s earnings, click here.
Meanwhile, Chinese stocks this morning have reported disappointing earnings. This goes for Alibaba BABA, NetEase NTES and Daqo Energy DQ, and all three stocks are selling off ahead of the opening bell.

Pre-Markets Down Despite Strong Claims, Philly Fed

Is DoorDash Stock an Undervalued Stock to Buy?

Key Points
Uber's fundamentals are improving, but the stock is underperforming.
Delivery services are driving the majority of Uber's growth, and its top competitor, DoorDash, carries a much higher valuation.
If Uber continues to deliver solid financial growth, the market should eventually notice and re-rate the stock.
Amid a rising stock market, Uber (NYSE: UBER) is down by about 8% year to date, but the company's fundamentals reflect a different reality. It is the leader in the ride-hailing industry, and it continues to gain market share. Furthermore, its valuation has become more compelling due to the prolonged slide it has been experiencing since last autumn.
A stock's price should not continue to drop as the company's underlying fundamentals improve. Eventually, a rally should take shape, and Uber has a few catalysts that could bring it back into the green this year.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
New users are flocking to Uber
In the press release announcing Uber's Q2 results, CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said that the platform had "added more first-time users over the past 12 months than in any period over the past five years." More users translated into higher revenue growth rates, but good retention rates can give the company's recent revenue gains a solid foundation.
The company's monthly active platform consumers rose by 16% year over year, which means people who use the app are requesting rides throughout the year. That growth also came with an 18% year-over-year increase in trips.
Although Uber got its start with ride-hailing services, its food delivery business has become a major catalyst. In fact, the delivery segment drove most of the revenue growth. It was up by 28% year over year in the second quarter, while the transportation component of the app only posted 1% growth. Deliveries now make up more than one-third of total sales.
Rising profits and a falling stock price translate into a low valuation
The revenue growth has also come with rising profit margins. After being unprofitable for more than a decade, Uber started to turn a profit in 2023, and its net income has continued to climb.
Its non-GAAP (adjusted) net income, which does not reflect gains from its equity investments, was up by 29% in Q2. Its $1.6 billion in non-GAAP net income resulted in an 11.6% profit margin.
To top it all off, Uber trades at a P/E ratio of just under 17 today. Its food delivery competitor DoorDash (NASDAQ: DASH) commands a P/E ratio of around 110. Although DoorDash is growing at a faster rate than Uber, the latter is delivering higher margins. Uber may also see a long-term revenue boost once autonomous vehicles become more common on its platform.
Although Uber doesn't deserve a 110 P/E ratio, and investors can make an argument about DoorDash being overvalued, the stock's current valuation suggests that a rally may be imminent. Uber is riding long-term tailwinds that should support elevated revenue and net income in future quarters.

Company Snapshot
DoorDash operates a comprehensive logistics platform that connects merchants, consumers, and delivery personnel through its primary marketplaces, DoorDash and Wolt, generating revenue through delivery services, merchant solutions, and advertising offerings.
The company generates revenue through commission-based fees on merchant transactions, delivery fees charged to consumers, advertising services for merchants, and subscription programs, while leveraging data analytics and technology infrastructure to optimize logistics operations.
DoorDash serves a diverse customer base including restaurants and retail merchants seeking customer acquisition and delivery logistics solutions, consumers seeking convenient food and goods delivery, and independent contractors (dashers) providing last-mile delivery services.
DoorDash is a leading global logistics platform with a market capitalization of $93.71 billion and TTM revenue of $15.9 billion, operating across multiple geographies through its DoorDash and Wolt marketplaces. The company's competitive advantage derives from its proprietary logistics network, data-driven matching algorithms, and integrated merchant solutions that address critical operational challenges including customer acquisition, delivery optimization, and payment processing. With 31,400 employees and a diversified revenue model spanning delivery services, advertising, and merchant tools, DoorDash maintains a significant position in the on-demand delivery and logistics sector.
What this transaction means for investors
Although the 25% reduction in Fang’s DoorDash position may seem concerning on the surface, it looks like a sale made for personal reasons.
Fang set up the sale under the Rule10b5-1 framework back in March. Insiders typically initiate such sales to avoid the appearance of acting on inside information, which should ease any possible investor concerns.
Moreover, since he kept 75% of his holdings, it is likely he remains bullish on his company’s stock. It is the leading delivery company for food and other essentials in the U.S., commanding a 67% market share versus 23% for Uber’s Uber Eats, according to Deliverect.
That positioning probably helped its top line. In the second quarter of 2026 its revenue increased by 36% year over year. Although net income for the quarter fell to $200 million from $285 million in the year-ago quarter, it is likely because the company spent more on operations to improve its business. That should boost its profitability longer term.
Additionally, analysts forecast a 30% increase in revenue for the year. Such growth should validate the case for Fang holding 75% of his shares in the consumer discretionary stock.

Adjusted EBITDA rose 36.9% to $177.2 million from $129.4 million a year earlier. The adjusted EBITDA margin, measured as a percentage of gross bookings, expanded to 3.2% from 2.9%, highlighting improved profitability alongside the higher transaction volume.
LYFT Faces Higher Marketing and Administrative Costs
Total costs and expenses increased 13.3% year over year to $1.80 billion. Sales and marketing expenses jumped 67.6% year over year to $320.0 million, while general and administrative expenses rose 29.8% to $301.6 million.

LYFT Expands Partnerships and Autonomous Vehicle Reach
Partnership-linked activity continued to gain importance. Approximately 30% of North American rideshare rides were connected to a partnership during the quarter, an all-time high for the company.
In Nashville, Lyft began fleet operations with Waymo in June and is preparing to open an 80,000-square-foot autonomous vehicle depot in October. Lyft and Curb also expanded their strategic partnership into New York City, broadening transportation choices through established licensed taxi operators.
Lyft Guides for Continued Growth in Q3
For the third quarter of 2026, Lyft expects gross bookings between $5.50 billion and $5.67 billion. The range represents anticipated year-over-year growth of approximately 15% to 19%.
