On the bottom-line, a Non-GAAP EPS of ($0.35) compared favorably to the consensus estimate of ($0.53), while also improving on Wedbush’s ($0.57) forecast.\nAlthough the pandemic’s impact was still felt as active riders dropped year-over-year by 36.4% to 13.5 million, the decline was still better than Wedbush’ and the Street’s respective 11.2 million and 12.8 million estimates.\nHowever, the star of the show, says Ives, was the EBITDA beat. Lyft delivered Adj. EBITDA of ($73) million beating Wall Street’s ($144) million forecast and well ahead of Ives’ ($149) million estimate.\nAccording to Lyft, Adj. EBITDA is set to further improve in Q2, expected to show a loss of between $45-35 million. Revenue should also increase to between the $680 million and $700 million range.\n“The tough but necessary cuts that Lyft has implemented into its business model are clear and present and remain a feather in the cap for the bulls as the company just delivered its best EBITDA performance in its history with revenue down 35% YoY, a great sign of leverage in the model,” the analyst summed up.\nIves keeps LYFT on Wedbush’s Best Ideas List and, unsurprisingly, reiterated an Outperform (i.e., Buy) rating on the shares whilst sticking to an $85 price target. Investors could be sitting on gains of 72%, should Ives’ forecast play out accordingly. (To watch Ives’ track record, click here)\nWall Street’s average price target is more modest, but at $72.04, is still anticipated to generate returns of 46% in the year ahead. Overall, the stock’s Moderate Buy consensus rating is based on 22 Buys and 10 Holds.

On the bottom-line, a Non-GAAP EPS of ($0.35) compared favorably to the consensus estimate of ($0.53), while also improving on Wedbush’s ($0.57) forecast.\nAlthough the pandemic’s impact was still felt as active riders dropped year-over-year by 36.4% to 13.5 million, the decline was still better than Wedbush’ and the Street’s respective 11.2 million and 12.8 million estimates.\nHowever, the star of the show, says Ives, was the EBITDA beat. Lyft delivered Adj. EBITDA of ($73) million beating Wall Street’s ($144) million forecast and well ahead of Ives’ ($149) million estimate.\nAccording to Lyft, Adj. EBITDA is set to further improve in Q2, expected to show a loss of between $45-35 million. Revenue should also increase to between the $680 million and $700 million range.\n“The tough but necessary cuts that Lyft has implemented into its business model are clear and present and remain a feather in the cap for the bulls as the company just delivered its best EBITDA performance in its history with revenue down 35% YoY, a great sign of leverage in the model,” the analyst summed up.\nIves keeps LYFT on Wedbush’s Best Ideas List and, unsurprisingly, reiterated an Outperform (i.e., Buy) rating on the shares whilst sticking to an $85 price target. Investors could be sitting on gains of 72%, should Ives’ forecast play out accordingly. (To watch Ives’ track record, click here)\nWall Street’s average price target is more modest, but at $72.04, is still anticipated to generate returns of 46% in the year ahead. Overall, the stock’s Moderate Buy consensus rating is based on 22 Buys and 10 Holds.
