Reached 49% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published December 4, 2025
Analyst upgrades and better investor mood have helped the stock, and a lot more people are buying than usual. But the company scores poorly on financial strength and still needs to prove it can make steady profits. Recent news focused on Uber, not Lyft, which shows Lyft faces heavy competition. Over the next few months this is a short-term, risky trade.
Primary drivers
