Robbins LLP Reminds LYFT Stockholders of Pending May 6, 2024 Lead Plaintiff Deadline

SAN DIEGO, April 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

Robbins LLP reminds investors that a shareholder filed a class action on behalf of all those who purchased or otherwise acquired Lyft, Inc. (NASDAQ: LYFT) common stock between February 13, 2024 at 4:05 p.m. and February 13, 2024 at 4:51 p.m. Lyft, Inc. operates a peer-to-peer marketplace for on-demand ridesharing in the United States and Canada.

For more information, submit a form, email attorney Aaron Dumas, Jr., or give us a call at (800) 350-6003.

The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating the Allegations that Lyft, Inc. (LYFT) Allegedly Made False and Misleading Statements Regarding its Margin Expansion

According to the complaint, Lyft issued a press release and accompany Supplement Data announcing its year-end and fourth quarter 2023 operating results after the close of the market (at 4:05 p.m.) on February 13, 2024. The Lyft press release and Supplemental Data (at page 10) misrepresented in a bulleted line item that Lyft anticipated “Adjusted EBITDA [Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization] margin expansion (calculated as a percentage of Gross Bookings) of approximately 500 basis points year-over-year.” Inasmuch as Lyft had reported 2023 EBITDA margins of approximately 1.6%, a 500 basis point (or 5.0%) margin expansion would have increased profitability to 6.6% -- or by over three times historical results. News services and stock analysts reported promptly on the four-fold anticipated increase in profitability. However, the 500 basis point margin expansion was stated in error; in reality, the basis point margin expansion was just 50 points.

The misstatement set off an aftermarket rally, with Lyft's common stock price increasing minute by minute. Lyft common shares had closed on February 13, 2024 at 4:00 p.m. at $12.13 per share. By 4:17 p.m., Lyft shares increased to $15.59 a share and by 4:27 p.m. shares traded at $16.61. Lyft shares went on to trade as high as $20.25 by approximately 4:41 p.m. When defendants finally addressed the error the stock began to decline, settling at $12.92 per share shortly after 4:50 p.m.
