Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $Maplebear (CART.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
Instacart's Q3 results were robust, yet the Q4 adjusted EBITDA forecast did not meet investor expectations, according to an analyst. Nevertheless, it was noted that management emphasized a consistent dedication to achieving gradual annual margin enhancements as the company navigates the equilibrium between profitability and growth investments in areas such as affordability, technology, and marketing.
Following Instacart's Q3 report, there has been a modest decrease in the Gross Transaction Value (GTV) and revenue projections for Q4. Looking ahead to 2025, which serves as the valuation basis, there's a slight increase in GTV forecasts but a reduction in revenue and EBITDA expectations.
Instacart's shares are beginning to mirror its robust fundamental narrative. Despite improvement, its valuation based on EBITDA still significantly lags behind its peers by a considerable margin. The comprehensive scope and scale of the company's services demonstrate the considerable challenge competitors encounter, especially those who treat grocery services as a supplementary option.
The company's unit volume surpassed expectations in Q3, bolstered by its enhancing supply flexibility in partnership with Uber, affordability features stimulating additional demand, and technological advancements that are beneficial to grocer profit margins.
Product enhancements are contributing to increased Gross Transaction Value (GTV), and projections for 2025 appear to be on the conservative side. The company is putting a strong emphasis on expansion through marketing, with a notable increase in Sales & Marketing (S&M) expenses in the third quarter compared to the second. Although this strategy may dilute earnings in the short term, it is viewed as a strategic decision to secure continued double-digit growth.

此外，綜合報道，$Maplebear (CART.US)$近期主要分析師觀點如下：
Instacart的第三季度成績強勁，但第四季度調整後的EBITDA預測未能達到投資者的預期，據一位分析師稱。儘管如此，管理層強調了致力於在公司在盈利能力和成長投資之間達到逐年逐漸提高邊際的一貫承諾，涉及可負擔性、科技和營銷等領域。
根據Instacart的第三季度報告，第四季度毛交易價值（GTV）和營業收入預測略有下降。展望到作爲估值基礎的2025年，GTV預測略有增加，但營業收入和EBITDA預期減少。
Instacart的股價開始反映其強勁的基本敘事。儘管有所改善，但其基於EBITDA的估值仍明顯落後於同行公司，相差懸殊。公司服務的全面範圍和規模展示了競爭對手面臨的巨大挑戰，尤其是那些把食品雜貨服務作爲輔助選項的公司。
公司在第三季度超過了成交量預期，得益於與Uber合作增強的供應靈活性、刺激額外需求的可負擔性特性，以及對雜貨店利潤率有益的技術進步。
產品改進正在促進GTV的增加，而對2025年的預測似乎較爲保守。公司正在強調通過營銷擴張，第三季度的銷售與營銷（S&M）支出相比第二季度有顯著增加。儘管這一策略可能會在短期內稀釋收益，但被視爲爲了確保持續兩位數增長而做出的戰略決策。
