Shares of Lyft (LYFT) are trading higher on Friday afternoon following the company's announcement of updates to its board of directors and corporate governance structure. The ridesharing firm revealed that co-founders Logan Green and John Zimmer have stepped down from the board, effective August 14. Both will convert their multi-vote Class B shares into Class A common stock, simplifying the company’s capital structure towards a one-share, one-vote standard for all stockholders. Sean Aggarwal has been appointed to maintain board leadership.

The stock’s upward momentum is also supported by the company’s recent second-quarter financial results, released on August 6. Lyft reported quarterly earnings of 10 cents per share, beating the analyst consensus estimate of four cents. While revenue of $1.58 billion narrowly missed the Street’s estimate, the company achieved record gross bookings of $4.5 billion, a 12% year-over-year increase. CEO David Risher described it as the company’s “strongest quarter ever.”

For its third-quarter outlook, Lyft expects gross bookings to be between $4.65 billion and $4.8 billion. Analyst commentary following the report noted key growth drivers, with JPMorgan highlighting that Lyft’s markets with autonomous vehicles are growing five times faster than its traditional rideshare business, pointing to a significant area of future expansion.

Benzinga Edge Rankings indicate that Lyft demonstrates very strong momentum with a high score of 82.49, suggesting the stock has a powerful recent price trend and has been outperforming the market. The company shows moderate growth prospects, earning a score of 56.68 in that category. In contrast, the stock scores poorly on value with a rating of 35.32, indicating that it may be considered expensive based on its underlying financial fundamentals and is not seen as a value play.

According to data from Benzinga Pro, LYFT shares are trading higher by 6.12% to $15.51 Friday afternoon. The stock has a 52-week high of $19.06 and a 52-week low of $9.66.
