The problem with Lyft, market watcher Kevin O'Leary says, is that 'it makes no money.'
div > div.group > p:first-child"> The ride-hailing company enjoyed a bombastic initial public offering on Friday, with its stock soaring over 20 percent above its target price range. Shares reversed later in Friday's session but settled roughly 9 percent higher.
"I always ask myself when I'm buying a stock, what portion of the free cash do I get in the form of a dividend each quarter? And the answer is obvious. You can measure it with something like a Levi's, but there is no free cash at Lyft," he said."We can debate this till the cows come home, but that's a very treacherous stock. It makes no money."
"In order to justify its current market valuation, investors need to take a big leap of faith that the millennials and later generations will forego ownership of a car and opt instead for reliance on a ridesharing service," Seaport said in an investor note."Despite the optics of vehicles being an underutilized asset, we believe people will continue to own their own vehicles as primary transportation and instead rely on the ridesharing services as a convenient supplement.
"We're not telling any of our clients to buy into these IPOs," he added, pointing out that not only is the company unprofitable, but it actually loses roughly $1 billion per year."It's not really a transportation play, although it would seem to be. It's really a financial services play, because it's the investment bankers that are getting rich.""It's very healthy for the market overall.
