Gold prices buoyed by tariff fears; US duties on 1-kilo bars spur supply concerns
Investing.com - Cantor Fitzgerald has reiterated its Neutral rating and $14.00 price target on Lyft (NASDAQ:LYFT) following the rideshare company’s second-quarter earnings report. According to InvestingPro data, Lyft currently trades at $14.42, with analysis suggesting the stock is undervalued based on its Fair Value model.
The company reported second-quarter bookings slightly below previous Street estimates, though its EBITDA performance exceeded expectations, according to Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Deepak Mathivanan. The company’s revenue grew by 19.94% over the last twelve months, reaching $6.11 billion, with an EBITDA of $85.22 million.
Lyft’s third-quarter guidance suggests a slight deceleration in bookings growth at the midpoint when accounting for an estimated $150-200 million contribution from its Freenow acquisition, which Cantor Fitzgerald noted was "better than feared."
The research firm highlighted Lyft’s "good progress" on key growth initiatives, including rewards programs and price lock features, though indicated that debates about the company’s competitive position in the autonomous vehicle market are likely to continue.
Cantor Fitzgerald has adjusted its financial projections for Lyft, raising its FY26 bookings estimate by 5% to account for the Freenow acquisition, while also increasing its EBITDA forecast by 3%. Analysts tracked by InvestingPro expect the company to remain profitable this year, with EPS forecasts for FY2025 at $1.16.
