• Can broader transport options sustain cash generation?

What is the bull case for LYFT?

More rides and a growing web of partners are bringing customers onto Lyft’s network. If that demand keeps growing efficiently, higher trip volume can translate into stronger earnings and cash generation.

What is the bear case for LYFT?

Lyft’s adjusted EBITDA remains a small share of bookings. If partnerships or rider incentives become more expensive, rising trip volume may deliver little additional profit.
