Lyft | LYFT | Long at $9.75First, from a technical analysis perspective, NASDAQ:LYFT has not "officially" found a bottom yet. No one can confidently state it has - their guess is as good as yours. This analysis is full of caution simply around the fact this stock could absolutely dip to below $5.00 in the future.
With that said, NASDAQ:LYFT is currently the #3 travel app in the Apple store (#1 is Uber, #2 is Airbnb). It has a 4.9 (Apple) and 4.7 (Google) star rating and tens of millions of downloads. Car prices, insurance rates, parking fees, gas/electric rates, etc. are pushing more people into the rideshare environment. With a recession knocking on the US's door, the fee-for-service model will make more sense than actually owning for many. But, a recession is a recession and the market hates them... Lyft is currently the only true competitor to Uber and its earnings are likely to grow as the travel environment "modernizes" in the future.
At $9.75, the stock closed all previous lower gaps on the daily chart. Currently, open price gaps (which are often good predictors of future price movement) are all above its current price. A bottom *may* be in, but see intro... I view the current price as a personal buy zone with room for additional shares if the price dips to near $5 (and fundamentals don't change).
A high-growth potential stock in an ever-changing travel environment.
Target #1 = $15.00
Target #2 = $22.00
Target #3 = $30.00
Target #4 = $75.00+ (long-term view...)

Lyft Shares Rise After Q1 Results but Slides 5.25%Lyft ( NASDAQ:LYFT ), a ride-hailing company, reported mixed Q1 results, with quarterly losses of 8 cents per share, which missed the analyst consensus estimate of earnings of 3 cents per share. However, quarterly sales were $1.28 billion, beating the consensus estimate of $1.16 billion by 10.02%. This represents a 27.59% increase over the same period last year. Gross bookings for the first quarter were $3.7 billion, up 21% year-over-year.
CEO David Risher praised Lyft's strong start in 2024, stating that the company is executing well and bringing innovation to the market. Lyft saw second-quarter gross bookings of between $4 billion and $4.1 billion, adjusted EBITDA of between $95 million and $100 million, and an adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 2.4%. The company remains on track to generate positive free cash flow for the full year.
LYFT - Bullish divergence on Weekly time frameLYFT has been in a crazy downtrend and it has lost over 90 % of its value from its ath.
However, things start looking interesting. We can see a bullish divergence on weekly time frame which suggest a sellers exhaustion.
However the downtrend is still in tact.
How to trade it?
You can enter long at the breakout of the falling wedge once we get it.
Entering long at 8 $ could be also a way as it's close to all time low that we saw in May 2023.
It would be also reasonable to buy at the downsloping support if the price goes so low.
Unfortunately fundamentals are not very good for LYFT therefore this trading idea is based SOLELY on the Technical analysis.
What do you think about LYFT? is it going to recover?

Lyft's Earnings Error Sends Stock Soaring, But Reality BitesLyft ( NASDAQ:LYFT ) sent shockwaves through the trading floor with a monumental error in its earnings forecast, triggering a rollercoaster ride for investors. The company's stock skyrocketed an impressive 16% in premarket trading, only to reveal a stark correction that left analysts and traders alike reeling.
The drama unfolded when Lyft ( NASDAQ:LYFT ) initially reported a jaw-dropping 500 basis point expansion in its adjusted earnings margin for 2024. The market erupted with enthusiasm, propelling Lyft's ( NASDAQ:LYFT ) shares to stratospheric heights, with an over 60% surge in extended trading. However, the euphoria was short-lived as reality dealt a harsh blow – the correct figure stood at a mere 50 basis points, a fraction of the initially announced increase.
Chief Financial Officer Erin Brewer's admission of the error during the earnings call punctured the bubble of optimism that had enveloped investors. Yet, despite the correction, Lyft ( NASDAQ:LYFT ) managed to retain a significant portion of its gains, a testament to the underlying strength of its performance.
Behind the scenes, Lyft's financials tell a compelling story of resilience and growth. The company defied expectations by swinging from a staggering $416.5 million loss to a remarkable $222.4 million profit in full-year adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA). This turnaround underscores Lyft's ability to navigate challenges and capitalize on opportunities in an ever-evolving market landscape.
Analysts at TD Cowen echoed this sentiment, highlighting Lyft's fourth-quarter revenue beat driven by robust gross bookings. Additionally, Lyft's EBITDA guidance surpassed expectations, further bolstering investor confidence. In response, TD Cowen raised their target price on the stock, reflecting a bullish outlook on Lyft's future prospects.
Despite the turbulence caused by the forecasting error, Lyft's performance remains a beacon of strength in the competitive ride-hailing industry. The company's ability to adapt and innovate in the face of adversity cements its position as a formidable player in the market.
Looking ahead, investors will undoubtedly scrutinize Lyft's future earnings releases with heightened scrutiny, mindful of the potential for discrepancies. However, amidst the volatility lies an opportunity for those willing to ride the waves of uncertainty, betting on Lyft's continued resilience and growth trajectory.
Lyft Showing signs of Life, have we Bottomed?Hi guys! Welcome to an analysis on macro developments of Lyft (LYFT). With the markets doing what they've been doing this year, we have to ask, " Will the % gains come to stocks that are still many many % down from their tops"? Or are some stocks just doomed to fizzle out and take time to re-build/ grow?
Well, if we are in a Bull market, which i personally think we are... Assets with Solid Market Structure & Technicals will also be included into the liquidity being injected into the markets.
Taking a glance under the hood with LYFT, i can see some promising developments playing out. Making me consider LYFT as a Long play.
This analysis is strictly on Technicals and is on the 1 Week timeframe to get a big picture view.
So lets look at Price Action:
Last week candle has broken ABOVE the Major Resistance trendline which has worked to cause Price Declines since November 2021
Notice how we've had many touch points on this Resistance line in RED.
I believe it to have been weakened, thus the current BREAKOUT.
Do we go back to print All Time Highs now? Absolutely NOT.
It requires alot of energy or momentum to break major trends.
But its the 1st step to the road of getting back to all time highs.
We also need Confirmation before anything. This 1 candle is not enough, though an extremely BULLISH candle, a Bullish ENGULFING candle. Which is a great sign and pushs probabilities for confirmation as well.
But we need to now Test the Resistance line as SUPPORT.
With the overlaying Resistance line ABOVE us, i believe we will get a push down to the Support Test.
But so far the break out to me is promising:
Why? Look to the Volume for clues. We are so far seeing increased volume. It is important that it continues.
If at the end of this week, you see Volume has declined. We would need to reassess the breakout, as that would potentially mean this could be a Fakeout.
So getting ABOVE Major Multi year resistance, would support the idea of Trend Change/ perhaps Trend Reversal and a sign hinting that the Bottom is in.
Another Bottoming sign observed = BULLISH DIVERGENCE being spotted.
This is when Price Action prints Lower Lows BUT Indicators print Higher Lows.
Seen in the RSI -> Notice if and when we get above the Resistance line, we will see large % gains.
Another indicator to watch would be the STOCH RSI, as we are getting close to a BULLISH CROSS. If we get it, we will see bullish momentum come in, perhaps pushing prices above this horizontal resistance line.
Anyway i think things are hinting at the idea that we have bottomed. We are in a critical moment for LYFT and we must continue to monitor this week and more.

LYFT Disappointing OutlookLYFT predicted Q2 revenue of $950 million to $1 billion vs $1.02 billion expected
adjusted Ebitda of $10-20 million vs $83 million analysts expectations.
With this type of slow growth for a $10.7Bil company, my buy area is between $15 and $20.
Looking forward to read your opinion about it.

LYFT Primary Trend Reversal signs(1W Timeframe)
Several clues point at the same outcome: reversal trend and Bullrun incoming!
- We can see a break of the downtrend with higher lows that will invalidate the bear market if we can close this W with a higher high. Keep in mind that there's a big resistance zone (red zone) that could push the price down to the yellow zone.
- 50 ema already crossed the 200 ema (daily time frame)
- RSI increasing to almost overbought and getting out of the bear zone (30-50) to the upper part, hopefully, it'll stay above 50.
Lyft Stock Analysis with Technical AnalysisPrices are moving inside a channel. The idea is to hold.
Option 1 only if the resistance of 33.5 USD will be broken, otherwise Option 2 might be the most likely to happen.
Just hold for now and see what will happen at the level of 33.5 before making any decision.
Always check UBER stock to have a better understanding of this stock behaviour.
LYFT BreakoutAfter our March low, we've rallied +140% off the lows and formed a huge ascending triangle. Given our bullish momentum, it's likely we continue upwards into the green zones highlighted around the $40 and $47 marks.
RSI is not oversold and has been coiling, which shows signs of momentum heating up with plenty of room of run. If we break out from here, there is a high probability we fill the liquidity void above us in the $40-$50 range. Watching this one closely.
First target: ~$40 for a 20% gain
Second target: $48 for a 50% gain.
LYFT - FAKE UP-TRENDLINE BREAKThis is a company which in these times
quarantine demand has increased
like UBER, which positions it
among the most valuable companies in matters
mobility, which gives me to understand that this
movement you're having is just a throwback
to trick sellers into believing
to change the trend, when simply
will make a correction and continue its course to the upside
possibly making a higher stop (HH)
In the next weeks
Bullish on $LYFT - two price targets: 31.67 and 34.91There was a false breakout at a strong resistance point (@28.86). We see the stock get rejected @ 30.92.
I believe it is going thru a small retrace (with the last candle stick having low selling volume) - potentially to 26.41, if not much sooner @ 27.14 - where investors who entered call options ~20 are more than likely cashing out on profits.
I plan to catch LYFT coming out of the pull back
LET SEE WHAT TMW BRINGS!!!!
