Here is what Blue Hawk Investment Group has to say about Lyft, Inc. in their Q4 2020 investor letter:
" We purchased a meaningful position in LYFT in the quarter, accumulating the position beginning in the low $40s. A tactical position that we are hopeful can evolve into an investment, Lyft is a ride-sharing company operating primarily in the US. A massive TAM in a duopolistic industry structure, we are betting changes in industry structure, driven by new legislation and pandemic driven cost cutting, have removed the bear case for the stock. We prefer Lyft over Uber as we believe Lyft is more of a recovery pure-play and we think the strategic value of the Lyft asset provides a floor and enhances the risk/return of the investment. Lyft trades roughly at parity to the S&P 500 on a normalized EV/Revenue basis despite a greater than 5x top-line growth profile and a superior profitability profile at maturity. We believe the stock is significantly undervalued."
