It's feasible that Lyft could match Uber's fourth-quarter 2020 target, as it has a "substantially smaller Ebitda loss," wrote Jake Fuller of Guggenheim Securities in a Monday note.
He continued: "That said, a comparison of incremental margin, along with commentary from both Lyft and Uber on recent promotional activity, might suggest that Lyft is taking a different approach."
In short, Fuller wrote that Lyft does not have to match Uber's fourth-quarter 2020 objective "in order for the stock to work."
It's acceptable for Lyft "to tilt strategically more towards growth and market share, as long as it is still on track and progressing towards Ebitda positive at some point in 2021," he wrote.
