Lyft's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYFT#NYSE">LYFT</a>) short percent of float has fallen 7.96% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 43.90 million shares sold short, which is 10.76% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 4.02 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Lyft Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747411229_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Lyft has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Lyft's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Lyft's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 15.81%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Susquehanna Maintains Neutral on Lyft, Raises Price Target to $18

Shares Lyft, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYFT#NASDAQ">LYFT</a>) continue to move higher Monday. The company reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/05/45320549/lyft-stock-is-soaring-friday-whats-going-on">better than expected earnings</a>. CEO David Risher said the quarter was the company's 16th consecutive one of double-digit year over year gross bookings growth.
If the shares reach the $18.50 level, there is a good chance the move higher pauses or ends. There tends to be resistance at prices that had previously been resistance or a peak, and as you can see on the chart below, $18.50 was resistance in November. This is why our technical analysis team has made it our <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/stock-of-the-day">Stock of the Day</a>.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="586" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/12132231/one-2-1024x586.png" alt="" class="wp-image-912254" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/12132231/one-2-1024x586.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/12132231/one-2-300x172.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/12132231/one-2-768x440.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/12132231/one-2.png 1425w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Some traders seem to forget a basic principle of markets. They are driven by supply and demand. If there is more demand, or shares to be bought, than there is supply, or shares to be sold, they move higher. The opposite is true if there is more supply than demand.
When a market that is trending higher gets to a resistance level, there is enough supply to fill all of the demand. This is why rallies end or stall out when they reach resistance.
Sometimes a stock can reverse and move lower after it reaches resistance.

This happens when some of the people who created the resistance with their sell orders start to undercut each other. They know the buyers will go to whoever is willing to sell at the lowest price. They don't want to miss out, so they reduce the prices they are willing to sell at.
This could result in a snowball effect that forces the price lower. This is what happened when Lyft hit resistance around $15.25 in November.
Sometimes the buyers eventually overpower the sellers at a resistance level. Investors call this a breakout. A new trend higher may follow. This happened yesterday.
Now the stock is getting close to $18.50. There is a good chance there is resistance around this price because it was resistance in November. Many of the people who bought shares then have held onto their losing positions since.
If the stock returns to $18.50, these remorseful buyers will place sell orders. If there are enough of these orders, resistance will be created again.
At that point, traders will be anticipating a possible reversal or breakout. Once the new trend becomes clear, some traders will jump in to ride the momentum.

Stock Of The Day: Where Will The Lyft Breakout End?

Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) investor Gary Black recently took to X to share his view on several critical challenges facing the electric car company as it aims to launch an autonomous<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45347089/wall-street-rips-higher-as-tariff-truce-halts-us-china-economic-escalation"> ride-hailing network. </a>
What To Know: Black, a managing partner at Future Fund LLC, doesn&#8217;t expect Tesla to make money with its robotaxi service for several years. After all, it must still create a network of riders and compete with established rail-hailing services like Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) and Lyft, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYFT#NASDAQ">LYFT</a>), he says.
"You are missing that $TSLA can't just create a network of 24M active riders,&#8221; Black <a href="https://x.com/garyblack00/status/1921061868270916060">tweeted</a> on May 10. &#8220;Assuming TSLA can get autonomous ride hailing deployment licenses in every state, it still must compete with $Uber and $Lyft who will offer much cheaper driverless options themselves. With three players all fighting for riders TSLA may not make money on ride hailing for years.&#8221;

While Tesla is making tangible progress in testing its ride-hailing service internally in cities like Austin, Texas and San Francisco and applying for key permits in California, road-to-market dominance is far from assured. 
The Road Ahead: Tesla is forging ahead and is set to launch its robotaxi service in Austin in June. The company is also working to deploy driverless robotaxis at Los Angeles International Airport, but it still needs additional approvals from the California Public Utilities Commission and the Department of Motor Vehicles. 
Tesla&#8217;s official account on Sunday quoted a video on X that showcased a vehicle navigating through traffic. The model used supervised FSD around LAX airport.

&#8220;LAX is no problem for FSD Supervised,&#8221; the EV giant said in<a href="https://x.com/Tesla/status/1921525298702561392"> the post</a>. The post was also reposted by Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
Bullish: Despite the criticism, Black remains bullish on Tesla. He said that the EV giant could stand to gain from increased EV adoption globally.
&#8220;We own $TSLA because as global EV adoption increases from its current 20% to 50% by 2030, TSLA deliveries should increase from 1.7M in 2025 to 5.0M by 2030,&#8221; he shared in a separate social media post.&nbsp;
Black also sees autonomous driving boosting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45341220/top-bull-gary-black-shares-why-he-is-holding-on-to-uber-and-tsla-our-investment-thesis-on">Tesla's sales</a> and set a $310 price target on Tesla stock.&nbsp;
&#8220;We expect unsupervised autonomy to sell more Teslas and increase the FSD take rate from its current 15% to 33%.&#8221; the investor said.
Price Action: Tesla shares were up 6.8% at $318.53 on Monday, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Tesla Robotaxi Hopes Dashed By Uber, Lyft: No Fast Lane To Profits, Warns Investor Gary Black

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed almost no change in the overall market sentiment, while the index remained in the &#8220;Greed&#8221; zone on Friday.
U.S. stocks settled lower on Friday, with the Dow Jones index falling more than 100 during the session ahead of trade talks between the US and Chinese officials.
Major indices on the US also closed lower last week, with the S&amp;P 500 falling about 0.5% and the Nasdaq down around 0.3%. The Dow also declined almost 0.2% in the week.

Dow Falls Over 100 Points, Also Records Weekly Loss: Fear & Greed Index Remains In 'Greed' Zone

Future Fund LLC's Gary Black believes Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) as well as Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) will benefit from increased EV adoption as well as growth in Autonomous Driving.
What Happened: In a post on the social media platform X, the investor shared his thoughts on why he invested in both companies on Sunday. "We own both $UBER and $TSLA for different reasons,"

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Black said that as autonomous driving gathers steam, more companies would adopt the technology and be granted licenses to operate unsupervised robotaxis in the future. "$UBER with 170M MAUs will by 2026 year-end offer a driverless option that reduces the cost per mile from $2/mile to $1/mile," he said in the post.
"We see $UBER Non-GAAP EPS increasing from $3/share in 2025 to $8/share by 2030.&nbsp; Our UBER PT is $120." Black said.
He then talked about Tesla and how Elon Musk's EV giant could stand to gain from increased EV adoption throughout the globe. "We own $TSLA because as global EV adoption increases from its current 20% to 50% by 2030, TSLA deliveries should increase from 1.7M in 2025 to 5.0M by 2030," he shared.
Black also shared how autonomous driving could help boost sales before setting a $310 price target on Tesla stock. "We expect unsupervised autonomy to sell more Teslas and increase the FSD take rate from its current 15% to 33%." the investor said.
Why It Matters: The investor has been an advocate for autonomous vehicles. He had recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45339797/gary-black-doubles-down-on-ubers-autonomy-upside-reflects-on-tesla-debates-i-was-right-on-volume-pr-and-robotaxis">doubled down </a>on Uber's growth as autonomous vehicles are steadily gaining pace in the U.S.
Black has also previously shared that Musk's company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45336172/tesla-bull-gary-black-reaffirms-elon-musks-company-best-positioned-to-capitalize-on-evs-and-autonomo">is "best positioned"</a> to&nbsp;
Capitalize on EV growth in the country. "As EV adoption and demand for autonomy increases, $TSLA remains the best positioned to capitalize on these two megatrends," he said.
Elsewhere, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45309828/gary-black-says-lyft-is-worthy-of-increased-investment-following-q1-earnings-call">the investor also hailed </a>Uber rival Lyft Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYFT#NASDAQ">LYFT</a>) as the ride-hailing service surprised analysts by beating expectations. The company revealed that it attained a $.01 EPS vs a projected -$.02 loss, at the Q1 earnings call last Thursday.

Top Bull Gary Black Shares Why He Is Holding On To UBER And TSLA: 'Our investment Thesis On…'

Fund manager and long-term Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) bull, Gary Black, is weighing in on the long-running debates surrounding the EV giant, the industry&#8217;s future, and trends such as autonomy and driverless ridesharing.
What Happened: On Sunday, in a long post on X, Black outlined how his past views on the electric vehicle maker have been validated in recent years, despite the pushback from Tesla&#8217;s investor community at the time, whom he dubs as the &#8220;TSLA faithful.&#8221;
&#8220;For years I argued TSLA would never hit 20 million deliveries by 2030,&#8221; Black says, referring to CEO Elon Musk's long-term volume target. &#8220;I was told Elon said they would, to which I asked, why do you listen to management?&#8221; 
He noted that Wall Street's current consensus figures for 2030 are now closer to 3.9 million units, and added that many Tesla bulls themselves have since pivoted to downplaying EV delivery volumes as a core valuation metric.

In his post, Black also criticized the company&#8217;s reluctance to embrace traditional advertising and public relations, arguing that as the market leader, it has to communicate the benefits of EVs to ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) vehicle owners to pave the way for broader adoption.

On pricing, Black points out that Tesla&#8217;s margin-eroding price cuts in 2023 and 2024 failed to generate any meaningful volume growth, just as he had predicted. He also warns that further price moves with newer models could face similar outcomes.
Turning to autonomy, Black challenged the notion that Tesla is far ahead. &#8220;Here we are today with Waymo, AMZN, and Baidu all operating autonomous robotaxi networks,&#8221; he says, while Tesla has yet to receive a single deployment license. 
&#8220;Don't malign me for trying to inject some realism into the TSLA story,&#8221; Black says, as he turns his attention towards the growing claims from among the &#8220;faithful,&#8221; who now believe that Uber Technologies Inc.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYFT#NASDAQ">LYFT</a>) are set to go bankrupt with Tesla&#8217;s advances in autonomous driving.
In a follow-up Tweet, Black claimed that these ridesharing companies are set to benefit the most as autonomous mobility takes flight, as going driverless &#8220;reduces the cost per mile from $2/mile to $1/mile.&#8221; Black, whose firm holds a stake in both Tesla and Uber, maintains the latter&#8217;s price target at $120, representing an upside of 45%.

Why It Matters: Despite being a long-time investor in Tesla, Black has been a vocal critic of the company in recent years, having regularly highlighted the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45214525/gary-black-flags-47-projected-drop-in-teslas-april-europe-sales-predicts-6-decline-in-2025-deliv">brand&#8217;s alarming sales</a> data this year, following Musk&#8217;s growing political involvement.
He has also repeatedly criticized the company's lack of marketing, calling it its &#8220;Achilles' heel,&#8221; a weakness he says not only affects sales but also leaves the <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/45091479/teslas-marketing-skills-remain-its-achilles-heel-says-gary-black-as-robotaxi-valuations-ignore-market-limitsfull-uber-lyft-profits-still-fall-short-of-2000-target">company at a disadvantage</a> with regulators.
Black, however, remains <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45336172/tesla-bull-gary-black-reaffirms-elon-musks-company-best-positioned-to-capitalize-on-evs-and-autonomo">bullish on the company</a> in the long run, having stated recently that &#8220;Long term we like the $TSLA story,&#8221; and that &#8220;As EV adoption and demand for autonomy increases, $TSLA remains the best positioned to capitalize on these two megatrends.&#8221;

Pony AI, Lyft And Sunrun Are Among Top 9 Mid-Cap Gainers Last Week (May 5-May 9): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) remains a stock to hold for the long term despite recent market volatility, with the potential to reach a $1 trillion valuation, according to Will McGough, Director of Investments at Prime Capital Financial.
What Happened: McGough maintains his buy recommendation on the artificial intelligence software company even after its shares have surged 55% this year, pushing its market cap to $281 billion, now exceeding Salesforce, which generates 10 times more revenue, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/09/palantir-may-grow-to-a-trillion-dollar-market-value-investor-says.html">reported</a> CNBC.
&#8220;I think you own for the ride to a trillion-dollar market cap knowing it&#8217;s going to be extremely volatile,&#8221; McGough said. 
The bullish outlook aligns with Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives, who recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45216263/pltr-stock-falls-9-19-in-premarket-trading-but-this-analyst-remains-bullish-predicts-1-trillion-valuation-in-3-years">raised his price target</a> from $120 to $140 while calling Palantir &#8220;the Messi of AI&#8221; and &#8220;a core name in the AI Revolution.&#8221; Ives similarly projected a trillion-dollar valuation within three years, citing the company&#8217;s success with its AIP product and multi-million dollar deals pipeline.

Why It Matters: Palantir&#8217;s lofty valuation metrics remain controversial, trading at 520 times trailing earnings, almost 200 times forward earnings and 90 times revenue. The disparity has created a stark divide between institutional skeptics and retail investors who have driven the stock up over 400% in the past year.
The data analytics firm reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/25/05/45229767/pltr-focused-etfs-down-whats-really-behind-palantirs-plunge-the-numbers-dont-tell-the-full-story">impressive first-quarter results</a>, with revenue beating expectations at $883.86 million, up 39% year-over-year. U.S. commercial revenue specifically surged 71%, while CEO Alex Karp described a &#8220;tectonic shift&#8221; in software adoption.
Price Action: Palantir closed at $117.30 on Friday, down 1.55% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock dipped another 0.49% to $116.72. Year to date, Palantir shares have surged 56%.
Palantir Technologies shows strong growth and momentum, but ranks low on valuation metrics, according to Benzinga Stock Edge Rankings. PLTR shares exhibit a positive price trend across both short- and long-term periods. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Check the detailed report here</a>.

PLTR Stock Remains Long-Term Buy Despite Sky-High Valuation, Says Prime Capital's McGough—Joins Dan Ives In Predicting $1 Trillion Market Cap Amid AI Surge

Lyft Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYFT#NASDAQ">LYFT</a>) CEO David Risher&#8216;s leadership strategy, shaped by his decade working under tech titans Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos, has propelled the ride-sharing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45309828/gary-black-says-lyft-is-worthy-of-increased-investment-following-q1-earnings-call">company to record performance in 2024</a>.
What Happened: Risher, who joined Lyft as CEO in 2023, credits a specific lesson from Gates that&#8217;s proven transformative: focus more on weaknesses than strengths.
&#8220;From Microsoft, I learned how to compete&#8230; From Amazon, I learned how to obsess over customers,&#8221; Risher wrote in his 2023 letter to employees. This approach has yielded impressive results, with Lyft posting record-high annual ride numbers last year.
In a March 2024 interview <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/lessons-learned-lyft-ceo-draws-industry-titans-jeff-bezos-bill-gates">with</a> Fox Business, Risher described a &#8220;revealing&#8221; moment watching Gates at a 1990s executive conference. When asked about Microsoft Excel&#8217;s future, Gates responded: &#8220;I don&#8217;t spend any of my time thinking about Excel because I know that right now we&#8217;ve got around 60% market share, and I know that&#8217;s going to go to 80 or 90&#8230; I don&#8217;t have to worry about that.&#8221;
This insight showed Risher that Gates created more value by focusing on areas needing improvement rather than successful products.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45333895/gop-megadonor-ken-griffin-warns-trump-tariffs-are-terrifying-says-government-is-picking-winners-and-losers-amid-soaring-trade-deficit">GOP Megadonor Ken Griffin Warns Trump Tariffs Are &#8216;Terrifying,&#8217; Says Government Is Picking &#8216;Winners And Losers&#8217; Amid Soaring Trade Deficit</a>
Why It Matters: At Lyft, Risher has applied this philosophy by personally identifying weaknesses in the company&#8217;s business model. &#8220;Every six weeks or so, I open my Lyft Driver app and hit the road,&#8221; he wrote in an April shareholder letter, noting this hands-on approach helps him understand driver experiences and customer frustrations.
Following rider complaints about surge pricing, Risher directed his team to increase driver supply and develop a feature allowing riders to lock in prices during frequent commute periods.
&#8220;By the end of 2024, we could see that these were the right investments when drivers chose us at record rates,&#8221; Risher wrote, attributing the company&#8217;s success to addressing shortcomings.
The strategy appears to be working. Lyft recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45309828/gary-black-says-lyft-is-worthy-of-increased-investment-following-q1-earnings-call">reported first-quarter of 2025 earnings</a> of 1 cent per share versus an expected 1-cent loss, with rides growing 16% year-over-year to 218.4 million. The company&#8217;s board also authorized an increased share repurchase program totaling $750 million.
&#8220;I&#8217;ve never met a great leader who isn&#8217;t curious about the details,&#8221; Risher noted, emphasizing that successful leadership requires diving into troubled areas rather than avoiding them.
Price Action: Lyft stock closed at $16.65 on Friday, up 28.08% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock inched up another 0.30% to $16.70. Year to date, Lyft shares have gained 21.98%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Lyft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYFT#NASDAQ">LYFT</a>) stock was trading higher on Friday after the company reported better-than-expected <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/buybacks/25/05/45302278/lyft-shares-drive-higher-after-mixed-q1-report-stock-buyback-program-raised-to-750-million" rel="noreferrer noopener">first-quarter results</a> and announced a $750 million share buyback plan on Thursday.
Quarterly revenue was $1.45 billion,&nbsp;which missed the Street estimate of&nbsp;$1.47 billion. Lyft reported quarterly earnings of&nbsp;one cent per share, which beat the analyst consensus estimate of&nbsp;one cent in losses.

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Needham analyst Bernie McTernan reiterated Lyft with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LYFT/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a Hold rating</a>.</li>
<li>Goldman Sachs analyst Eric Sheridan upgraded the stock rating from Neutral to Buy and increased the price forecast to $20 (from $19).</li>
</ul>
Needham: Lyft is demonstrating strong operational momentum, achieving all-time first-quarter records across key metrics, including active riders, rides, gross bookings, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow.
This growth reflects the health of its marketplace, with improving rider frequency, record driver hours, and continued gains in ETA performance, which has improved for 13 consecutive quarters.
Lyft remains focused on innovating, broadening its market reach, and deepening engagement on both sides of the platform. The launch of Lyft Silver aims to capture the growing 65+ demographic, a segment historically underpenetrated in rideshare.
At the same time, the AI-powered Earnings Assistant tool is designed to improve driver productivity and loyalty. Internationally, the planned acquisition of FREENOW positions Lyft to nearly 2 times its TAM by adding a presence in 9 European countries, bringing in an estimated 1 billion euros in gross bookings. In parallel, the company&#8217;s move into autonomous vehicles could help drive long-term efficiency, scale, and margin expansion.
Despite strong top-line and volume growth, gross bookings growth (+13%) is trailing ride growth (+16%), driven by a negative mix shift, and McTernan noted pricing competition with Uber Technologies, Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>).
Management stated that pricing remains below fourth-quarter levels due to competitive pressure and affordability-focused initiatives like Price Lock, which, while supporting retention, impacts average revenue per ride and unit economics.
McTernan projected second-quarter revenue of $1.54 billion and EPS of $0.07.
Goldman Sachs: In its quarterly earnings report, Lyft framed a few key themes, including continued momentum with double-digit Gross Bookings growth led by rides, adjusted EBITDA once again exceeding the high end of the guide, and increased share repurchase authorization.
Sheridan stated that the opportunity is created by investors&#8217; concern about the bridge between current growth levels and the company&#8217;s growth target laid out at its 2024 Investor Day, fears around potential disruption from Waymo and Uber&#8217;s autonomous vehicles, and debates around pricing.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Sheridan remarked that those concerns were more than already discounted in the stock. While achieving the Investor Day targets will likely be a key determinant of sentiment and valuation levels, his estimates do not reflect the announced acquisition of FREENOW in Europe.
He stated that the AV ridesharing landscape remains very early and that Lyft has a vital role in the broader hybrid/AV ecosystem. The analyst noted lower cost inflation and more moderate pricing trends as a longer-term positive.
Also, execution has been solid at Lyft in recent quarters, and it is said that the North American ridesharing duopoly industry structure supports rational competitive behavior in the years ahead.
Sheridan projected second-quarter revenue of $1.59 billion and EPS of $0.06.
Price Action: LYFT stock is up 23% at $15.98 at last check on Friday.

12 Industrials Stocks Moving In Friday's Intraday Session

Lyft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYFT#NASDAQ">LYFT</a>) shares are trading higher Friday after the company reported better-than-expected <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/45302278">first-quarter earnings </a>and increased its share repurchase program.
What To Know: The company reported earnings per share of 1 cent, beating the consensus estimate of a 1 cent-loss. In addition, Lyft reported sales of $1.45 billion, missing the consensus estimate of $1.47 billion, but representing a 14% year-over-year climb.
Rides grew 16% year-over-year to 218.4 million while active riders increased 11% year-over-year to 24.2 million, both representing a record for the first quarter.
Lyft's board of directors authorized an increase to its share repurchase program to a new total of $750 million. 
&#8220;Q1&nbsp;marked Lyft&#8217;s 16th consecutive quarter of double-digit year on year Gross Bookings growth demonstrating the resilience and momentum of our customer-obsessed strategy,&#8221; said Lyft CEO David Risher. 
&#8220;In the last week of March, rides reached the highest weekly levels in our history and dual-app drivers reported a 23 percentage point preference for Lyft. With our expansion into new demographics via Lyft Silver and into Europe with our planned FREENOW acquisition, we&#8217;re putting all the pieces in place for sustained, market-leading performance.&#8221;
Following the earnings report, Barclays analyst Ross Sandler maintained an Equal-Weight rating on Lyft and raised the price target from&nbsp;$19&nbsp;to&nbsp;$20.
