Movement Alert|Lyft Rises 5.22% in Regular Trading, Upgraded to Buy by Rothschild & Co Redburn

Market Focus06-30

On June 30, Lyft rose 5.22% in regular trading, trading at $15.015 per share, with turnover of $150 million.

On the news front, Rothschild & Co Redburn upgraded Lyft from neutral to buy, setting a target price of $22, implying approximately 47% upside from current levels. According to FactSet, the consensus analyst rating on Lyft is overweight, with a mean target price of $18.90.

The upgrade comes after a turbulent period for the stock. Lyft reported a challenging Q4, with ride growth missing expectations and competitive pressure from Uber weighing on volumes. However, management indicated the company recovered market share by February after taking a disciplined pricing approach rather than matching aggressive competitor promotions. A key executive departure also occurred earlier this year, with the head of financial planning and investor relations leaving to join Navan as CFO.

Lyft operates a peer-to-peer ridesharing marketplace in the United States and Canada, offering multimodal transportation options including ridesharing, bike and scooter networks, car rentals, and autonomous vehicle access.
