While Uber disappointed with the first day IPO sale by starting at the lower end of its share price estimate, opening the initial trade below the low end of 45$, at 42$, Lyft (LYFT) recorded a similar defeat with -23% during its first trade.

Here is what Wall Street has to say about Lyft future forecast for the following period, based on Q1 report 2019 published in May by Lyft.
