Lyft reported a 15% rise in gross bookings in Q4 2024. Further, according to Main Street Data, Q4 active riders increased 10% year over year to 24.7 million. During the Q4 2024 conference call, management noted that while Q1 is traditionally the company's slowest quarter, they expect a healthy marketplace and market-leading service levels to drive year-over-year rides growth, driven by durable demand, a rise in active riders, and increased frequency.
Analysts' Views Ahead of Lyft's Q1 Earnings
Heading into Q1 2025 results, TD Cowen analyst John Blackledge reiterated a Hold rating on Lyft stock and lowered the price target to $12 from $14. The 5-star analyst said that he expects Lyft to report solid Q1 gross bookings but trimmed his Q2 estimates due to macro challenges.
Blackledge expects Lyft to report a 14.8% rise in its Q1 revenue to $1.47 billion, reflecting a deceleration from 26.6% in Q4 2024 and 27.7% in Q1 2024. He expects the first quarter to see seasonally slow contribution from bikes and scooters, as witnessed in Q4 2024. The analyst expects Q1 2025 gross bookings to rise 12.7% to $4.16 billion, driven by continued robust rider demand, coming slightly above the midpoint of the company's guidance. However, Blackledge noted that the Q1 2025 gross bookings estimate reflects a 2.7% sequential decline, mainly due to seasonality.
Meanwhile, reacting to Lyft's strategic acquisition of FreeNow, a European ride-hailing platform, from BMW Group / Mercedes-Benz Mobility for about $197 million, Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Deepak Mathivanan said that he views the deal and the company's move into Europe positively. That said, the 5-star analyst thinks that Lyft is likely to face strong competition from incumbents in the ride-hailing market in this region. Mathivanan has a Hold rating on LYFT stock with a price target of $14.

Is LYFT Stock a Buy, Sell, or Hold?
Given macro challenges, concerns about autonomous vehicles, and competitive pressures, Wall Street is sidelined on Lyft stock, with a Hold consensus rating based on six Buys, 22 Holds, and one Sell recommendation. The average LYFT stock price target of $15.89 implies 23.3% upside potential. LYFT stock is flat on a year-to-date basis.
