Episode notes
Risher's Financial Reset Worked
- David Risher turned Lyft free cash flow positive by cutting costs and using cash for targeted acquisitions.
- He also resolved a dual-class share controversy and expanded buybacks, which boosted investor confidence.
Focus Versus Diversification
- Lyft focuses solely on ride-hailing while Uber diversified into Eats and other deliveries.
- That singular focus lets Lyft concentrate resources and M&A on its core product and fleet capabilities.
Fleet Management As An AV Advantage
- Lyft owns FlexDrive, a fleet-management arm it plans to use for autonomous vehicle operations.
- Owning this part of the stack may give Lyft an edge in maintaining high AV utilization and quicker turnarounds.
