  • Lyft is building a scalable, vertically integrated platform, well-positioned to benefit from mainstream autonomous vehicle adoption and partnerships in the AV space. Recent financials show strong growth in riders, bookings, and profitability, with management signaling confidence via an expanded share buyback program. Lyft's Flexdrive subsidiary and AV partnerships provide a differentiated, durable business model versus Uber, especially for small fleet operators.
