Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 31% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published September 24, 2025
Lyft and Waymo plan to roll out self-driving rides in Nashville by 2026. If successful, rides could become cheaper to run, helping profits. The stock is very active, with lots more buying than usual, but price swings can be sharp. Over the next 0-3 months, consider buying on pullbacks. Outcomes hinge on launch progress, regulatory approvals, and your tolerance for risk. Short-term traders may find quick moves, but timing matters.
Primary drivers
- Waymo deal creates a path to self-driving rides and opens new ways to grow
- Trading is busy, with more buying than usual, which can lift prices for now
- Price can swing a lot, so a plan and discipline matter to manage ups and downs
- If rides cost less to run, profits per trip can improve and support the stock
How it played out
LYFT: the target was not reached
Lyra published LYFT at $22.70 on September 24, 2025, with expected growth of 40%. The thesis pointed to the Waymo plan for self-driving rides in Nashville, unusually busy trading with more buying than usual, sharp price swings, and the chance that lower ride costs could support profits per trip.
Inside the window, LYFT rose to $25.54 on November 12, 2025, a peak gain of 12.5%. It stayed below the $31.78 target and never reached it. By December 23, 2025, it ended at $19.60. The thesis partially played out on the early move, but it missed the target and finished below the publication price.
