Lyft, Inc.
NASDAQLYFT fell out of favor at Guggenheim today. Analyst Taylor Manley cut the stock to Neutral from Buy, lopping $6 off the $22 price target — a 27% haircut. The new $16 mark sits just 2% above yesterday's close of $15.69. The downgrade arrives despite a consensus still tilted bullish (10 Buy ratings vs. the new Neutral), with a mean target of $19.60 across the Street. Lyft's short interest stands elevated at 17.6% of free float, and insiders have been net sellers over the past 90 days, offloading roughly $1.8M in stock.
