Repriced or dip?
Dip: business intact
The price is 32% below its 52-week high (Nov 12), but the business held up: revenue +7.9%, earnings per share +1970.4%, shares outstanding fewer shares, each owns more.
Some numbers held up (revenue +7.9%, earnings per share +1970.4%, shares outstanding fewer shares, each owns more), others slipped (operating margin −2.2 pts, revenue growth rate −4.1 pts). The price is 32% below its 52-week high.
The price is 32% below its 52-week high, and the business changed too: operating margin −2.2 pts, revenue growth rate −4.1 pts.
Within 10% of its 52-week high, so there is no dip to judge yet.

Business numbers as reported at the high (12 months to Sep 30, 2025) vs the latest filing (12 months to Jun 30, 2026). Each measure is scored from −1 (business changed) to +1 (business intact) and weighted: revenue, earnings per share, free cash flow, operating margin, revenue growth rate, share count, net cash and the move vs its sector. 60 or more reads as a dip, 40 or less as a repricing.

Priced in
How much growth the market assumed at the 52-week high, the low and today (a reverse DCF).
52-wk high: P/E 67.3×; 52-wk low: P/E 1.9×; now: P/E 2.2×.
| High | Low | Now | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | $24.57Nov 12 | $12.65Mar 30 | $16.62 |
| Implied growth | n/a | n/a | n/a |
| P/E | 67.3× | 1.9× | 2.2× |
| EV/Sales | 1.5× | 0.7× | 0.8× |
What this means: a lower P/E than at the high means you pay less for each dollar of profit than buyers did then.
How it’s computed
Reverse DCF: the same 10-year free-cash-flow model as our fair value estimate (9.5% discount rate, growth for years 1–5 fading to 3% by year 10, 3% after), solved for the growth that makes it equal the market value at each price. For the high and the low we use only the filings that were public on that day, so nothing from a later report leaks back. Market value = that close × diluted shares. P/E = market value / 12-month net income; Price / FCF = market value / 12-month free cash flow; EV / Sales = (market value + debt − cash) / 12-month revenue. Hidden when the share count moved over 20% (split, merger), free cash flow is negative, or the company reports in another currency.

Fair value estimate
No estimate for LYFT: Capital spending isn't tagged in SEC XBRL data. We’d rather show nothing than a made-up number.
Risk vs market
How risk vs market is measured
One year of daily returns (Oct 31 to Nov 2, 252 sessions). Beta = how much LYFT moved for each 1% move in the S&P 500 (SPY); 1.0 moves with the market. Volatility is the yearly standard deviation of daily returns. Past behavior, not a forecast.
Swings more than the market, and its own price swings are 3.7× the S&P 500’s.
