Lyft (LYFT) stock has been in a sharp downtrend this month, but senior Guggenheim ****** yst Michael Morris believes a swift near-term recovery is unlikely. In a research note this morning, Morris downgraded LYFT to "Neutral" and lowered his price target to $16, signaling a lack of meaningful upside from current levels.
At the time of writing, Lyft shares are already down about 23% versus the start of this year.

Grab Holdings (NASDAQ:GRAB), a super-app for ride-hailing, deliveries, and digital financial services, closed at $2.87, down 1.37%. The stock moved after Grab announced a $1.49 billion cash deal for a 60% stake in Atome Financial. Investors are watching the financial services expansion and consumer lending reach looking ahead. Trading volume reached 82.1M shares, coming in about 72% above its three-month average of 47.6M shares. Grab Holdings IPO'd in 2020 and has fallen 76% since going public.
The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC) fell 0.43% to 7,553, and the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX:^IXIC) slipped 0.01% to 25,978. Among ride-hailing, delivery, and consumer fintech platforms, Uber Technologies (NYSE:UBER) closed at $71.01, down 0.59%, while Lyft (NASDAQ:LYFT) finished at $15.69, unchanged, as mobility peers remained in focus.
Grab, the Southeast Asian delivery, mobility, and financial services upstart, continues to show it intends to become the leading "superapp" in its niche after acquiring 60% of Atome Financial for $1.49 billion today. Prior to the deal, Grab held over $6 billion in cash versus minimal debt, so the deal shouldn't be a funding problem by any means.
Atome Financial operates in five of Grab's six markets and brings over 25 million unique transacting users, helping to beef up the latter's fintech offerings. Atome has seen its gross merchandise volume grow ninefold over the last six years and is profitable on an adjusted EBITDA basis.
As of 2024, merely 5% of Southeast Asian adults owned a credit card and only 14% had borrowed from a financial institution, so the potential here for Grab could be massive if they execute successfully upon this opportunity.

Autonomous vehicle company May Mobility is merging with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) and will become a publicly traded company. It's a deal that could raise more than $300 million for May Mobility at a valuation of $1.4 billion, the company said Wednesday.
Once the merger is complete, May Mobility said it will be the first public company in the U.S. that is focused entirely on autonomous ride-hailing vehicles. This is meant to differentiate it from a number of other public companies working on autonomy, including Tesla, Rivian, Alphabet (with Waymo), and trucking-focused Aurora and Kodiak.
The move sets up May Mobility to be a test of the stock market's appetite for pure-play robotaxi ventures.
It will also be a test of May Mobility's approach to autonomy, which it pitches as "asset-light" and "partnership-first." Instead of owning and operating the robotaxis, May Mobility's business revolves around selling its autonomous vehicles to its fleet partners over time while maintaining control of any remote supervision and software updates. In exchange, May Mobility receives either fixed fees or per-trip licensing fees.
Founded in 2017, May Mobility currently operates autonomous Toyota Siennas in three locations in the U.S. It has a partnership with Lyft in Atlanta, and offers rides in two cities — Eden Prairie and Grand Rapids — in Minnesota.

Lyft, Inc. (NASDAQ:LYFT) has begun offering Waymo's fully autonomous robotaxi rides directly through its app in Nashville, marking the first market where Waymo vehicles can be booked through both the Waymo and Lyft apps. Lyft users requesting Standard, Priority Pickup, Wait & Save, or Extra Comfort rides within the designated Nashville service area can be matched with a Waymo vehicle at no additional cost.
The rollout also gives Lyft a larger role in the autonomous-vehicle ecosystem through its Flexdrive subsidiary, which will manage charging, cleaning and maintenance for Waymo's fleet. Reuters previously reported that the Nashville partnership was intended to become Waymo's first commercial deployment through Lyft's ride-hailing network.

The partnership could strengthen Lyft, Inc. (NASDAQ:LYFT)'s long-term position in a ride-hailing industry that is increasingly moving toward autonomous vehicles. Rather than spending heavily to develop its own robotaxi technology, Lyft can leverage Waymo's autonomous-driving capabilities while providing the customer base, app infrastructure, and fleet-management services needed to put those vehicles to work. This ****** et-light approach could allow Lyft to participate in the growth of robotaxis without bearing the enormous technological costs and risks ****** ociated with developing a self-driving system internally.
The bigger opportunity is Flexdrive. Lyft is not simply sending customers to Waymo; its subsidiary is taking responsibility for keeping Waymo vehicles operational in Nashville. Lyft says its new 80,000-square-foot facility will support more than 70 full-time positions and help optimize vehicle availability. If this operating model proves successful, Lyft could potentially become a valuable infrastructure and fleet-management partner as Waymo expands into additional markets. That would give Lyft another potential revenue opportunity beyond traditional ride commissions.

Lyft Inc (NASDAQ:LYFT) is slightly lower this afternoon, down 0.2% at $14.86. Heading for a fifth-straight daily drop, the Uber Technologies (UBER) rival is trading near its late-July lows, sporting a grim 23.3% year-to-date deficit. All may not be lost, however, as this pullback looks to be placing Lyft stock near a trendline with historically bullish implications.
According to Schaeffer's Senior Quantitative ****** yst Rocky White, LYFT shares are within 0.75 of their 126-day moving average's 20-day average true range (ATR), after remaining below it 80% of the time in the past two weeks and in 80% of the last 42 trading sessions.
This signal has occurred five times in the last 10 years, after which Lyft stock was higher one month later 60% of the time, averaging a 9.4% gain. From its current perch, a surge of this magnitude would put the shares back above the $16 area.
Put traders have been circling, per LYFT's 10-day put/call volume ratio at the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX), which stands higher than 76% of all other readings from the past year. Echoing this, the stock's Schaeffer's put/call open interest ratio (SOIR) of ranks higher than all other readings from the past 12 months. Should this bearish sentiment begin to unwind, it could trigger tailwinds for the shares.
Options are attractively priced as well, per the stock's Schaeffer's Volatility Index (SVI) of 51%, which stands higher than just 18% of all other readings from the past year, implying that near-term option traders are pricing in relatively low volatility expectations.

Uber is laying off about 3,300 employees, or about 10% of its workforce.
It is the deepest cut the ride-hailing giant that revolutionized on-demand taxis has made since the COVID-19 pandemic.
Chief Executive Dara Khosrowshahi announced the layoffs in a letter to employees Wednesday. The cut comes as Uber faces increasing competition from the growing robotaxi industry and other delivery services such as Instacart and DoorDash.

Lyft (LYFT) finally gave something to its investors: constant growth along with increasing profitability. Lyft reported another better-than-expected quarter, pushing the number of active riders above 30 million for the first time and setting a record of gross bookings at $5.5 billion.
These numbers allowed LYFT stock to reach its peak in the last six months, although still being over 30% below the 52-week high. However, the improving fundamentals of Lyft do not settle the largest debate about the stock. The ***** ysts are divided over the question of autonomous vehicles (AVs), with one group considering Lyft's partner strategy as an advantage and the other believing that Lyft's smaller size makes it more vulnerable than Uber Technologies (UBER).

Chinese tech giant Baidu (BIDU) is set to report its second-quarter results on Aug. 18, before the market opens. Ahead of the results, the company's stock is facing pressure from its legacy business. However, Baidu's other business segments have been surging, such as its AI-powered marketing business.
Moreover, Baidu's autonomous driving business is making inroads in Europe. Apollo Go, the company's autonomous ride-hailing platform, has started road-testing the platform's sixth-gen autonomous vehicle (RT6) in London, in a partnership with Freenow by Lyft (LYFT), with public rides expected next year. And, Baidu is eyeing a $50 billion IPO of its AI chip unit Kunlunxin. This is a big step for Kunlunxin, which has drawn interest from TikTok-owner ByteDance.

Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:UBER) is one of the top trending US stocks to buy now. Reuters reported on June 22 that Uber Technologies' (NYSE:UBER) board was sued on Monday by shareholders accusing directors and management of letting the company cut corners on compliance, resulting in thousands of lawsuits from victims of harassment and ****** ual ****** ault. The complaint was filed in San Francisco federal court, with shareholders led by a Detroit pension fund saying that board members ignored repeated internal and external warnings ⁠regarding the company's alleged failure to address ****** ual abuse by drivers.
In another development, Reuters reported on June 11 that Lyft has joined Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:UBER) in suing New York City to block a new law that, according to them, would force them to keep bad drivers who threaten passenger and public safety on their platforms. Lyft's lawsuit was filed in Manhattan federal court late Wednesday, 24 hours after Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:UBER) sued the city. The two companies are challenging Local Law 52 of 2026, which generally prevents large ride-sharing companies from swiftly dismissing drivers absent a "just cause" or "bona fide ⁠economic reason". The law would take effect on July 28.
Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:UBER) operates as a technology platform that offers ride services and merchant delivery service providers for food, groceries, meal preparation, and other delivery services. The company's operations are divided into Delivery, Mobility, and Freight. It is pioneering the introduction of autonomous vehicles to move people and goods more reliably, efficiently, and affordably.

A new Consumer Reports investigation finds Uber and Lyft customers are often given different fares when they book the same rides at the same time. While Uber and Lyft have long used surge pricing, the new findings are raising questions about whether the apps are using personalized or surveillance pricing based on customers' personal data.
