Analysis

Bargain bin

Lyft, Inc. is priced cheaply, and that invites the natural question of why, since the underlying business scores below average.

On valuation, the picture is attractive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 1.8×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around -32% a year, against analyst forecasts of -17%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

Growth is moderate; the safety picture is sturdy. The company scores 14/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator. Analysts lean positive.

Flags to be aware of: Reported profits have run ahead of actual cash for several periods. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
