Lyft shares soared 50% in extended trading on Tuesday after the ride-hailing company reported better-than-expected earnings and gave guidance that topped estimates.
Here’s how the company did:
- Earnings: 18 cents per share, adjusted, vs. 8 cents estimated by analysts, according to LSEG, formerly Refinitiv.
- Revenue: $1.22 billion, vs. $1.22 billion expected by analysts, according to LSEG.
Revenue increased 4% from $1.175 billion a year earlier, Lyft said.
Gross bookings for the first quarter will be $3.5 billion to $3.6 billion, topping analyst estimates of $3.46 billion, according to StreetAccount.
“Given these factors, along with our plans for slightly lower capital expenditures for 2024 relative to 2023, we anticipate that Lyft will generate positive Free Cash Flow for the full-year for the first time,” Lyft said.
