Strengths & Opportunities

• Lyft is rapidly growing and stealing market share away from the biggest competitor, Uber
• Revenue per ride, revenue as percentage of bookings and other operating metrics are also improving
• Strong balance sheet with over $2bn in net cash will help it continue spending on customer acquisition and autonomous vehicles

 Risks & Concerns

• Lyft faces increasing competition from Uber as new entrants as all are trying to gain share by offering steep discounts
• Low switching costs for both rider as well as drivers
• Revenue as well as user growth is decelerating while losses are deepening
• In our view, Lyft lacks the scale effect and even further market share gains may not make it net income positive
