The call, on record
LYFT bullish call
Quoted text as recorded“My top stock to buy in July is a company trading for seven times forward earnings estimate, growing in the mid-teens, and trades for a little over five times free cash flow they're expected to generate over the past year. The company is buying back shares like crazy, and there's tailwinds from autonomy. The company that I'm talking about is Lyft.”@ 0:00 · open at this moment on YouTube ↗

Our summary of the thesis
Strongly BullishStructured interpretation of the video, not a verbatim quotation. Check the source for conditions, emphasis and context.
The host views Lyft as an overlooked investment offering a compelling combination of low valuation, positive free cash flow and expected mid-teens growth. International acquisitions and autonomous vehicle partnerships broaden its opportunities, and he expects the combination to generate 10x returns over an unspecified long period.
Key arguments
- The cited forward earnings multiple is 7.7 and the price-to-free-cash-flow multiple is 5.3.
- Approximately $1.1 billion in trailing free cash flow compares favorably with a $5.6 billion market capitalization.
- The balance sheet has about $550 million in net cash, and the company is repurchasing shares.
- Active riders, rides and gross bookings are growing, supporting the host's expectation of sustained mid-teens business growth.
- Margins are improving, and gross profit has grown faster than revenue.
- Acquisitions of Gett's UK business and Free Now expand international reach.
- Autonomous vehicle developers could use Lyft's platform, operational capabilities and existing rider demand.
- Its relatively small size and demand network could make Lyft attractive to an acquirer, although the host does not predict a transaction.
Counter-arguments acknowledged
- Stock-based compensation detracts from the investment case.
- Uber has a larger rider base and pursues a similar autonomous vehicle platform strategy.
- One-time financial effects complicate trailing results.
- Autonomous vehicle supply and geographic deployment will scale slowly.
- Acquisition optionality is speculative.
Hedges and caveats (from the video)
- Stock-based compensation is a concern.
- Lyft is smaller than Uber and is not the industry leader.
- Recent financial results include one-time revenue and earnings effects.
- Autonomous vehicle deployment is expected to expand gradually.
- The host explicitly says he is not predicting an acquisition.
- The introduction identifies July as the buying month but subsequently refers to June.
- The 10x return expectation has no specific endpoint.
