A distant second in North American ride-hail, Lyft lacks the scale and diversification to compete effectively with Uber.
Lyft Inc Class A LYFT
Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls
Lyft’s partnerships with nascent autonomous vehicle companies like May Mobility and Mobileye create upside to current unit economics by removing human drivers.
Bears
Lyft’s core user base growth and scale are significantly lower than Uber’s. As such, Lyft has a weak value proposition for major autonomous vehicle companies.
