That sudden volatility highlights something that we often write about in Before the Bell: the major mismatch between policymaker and investor expectations for interest rate cuts this year. Federal Reserve officials, including Chair Jerome Powell, have repeatedly said they envision at most three rate cuts in 2024. Wall Street, meanwhile, has ignored those warnings and has opted to practice unflinching optimism instead. It’s not the first time they’ve had to learn an important lesson: Don’t fight the Fed. Bad for the markets, good for the Fed: Markets clearly don’t often take kindly to higher-for-longer interest rates, which can negatively impact earnings and stock prices.

A Lyft sign is seen in the pick-up area at JFK Airport in New York City on April 28, 2023. Lyft shares were 16% higher in premarket trade on Wednesday, retaining some gains after the company said it made a major error in a press release reporting its latest results, but still outperformed analyst estimates. A release initially said the company was forecasting a 500 basis point, or 5%, expansion of its adjusted earnings margin for 2024. Lyft stock initially shot up more than 60% higher in extended trade after the report, before cooling significantly on the correction. The company's full-year adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) swung from a $416.5 million loss to a $222.4 profit.

Lyft CEO David Risher took responsibility for the major error that appeared in the company's fourth-quarter earnings release late Tuesday, telling CNBC's "Squawk Box" that it's "super frustrating" for everyone on the team. It is an extra zero that slipped into a press release." Lyft reported $1.22 billion in revenue for the quarter, an increase of 4% from $1.175 billion a year earlier. In a note titled, "Lyft: We all make mistakes," analysts at MoffettNathanson raised their rating on the shares to neutral from sell. "Typos aside, we too are guilty of a mistake," the analysts wrote, citing their downgrade on the stock in October.

CNN —A typo in Lyft’s fourth-quarter earnings report caused the rideshare company’s stock to surge and then dramatically reverse course on Tuesday. In an earnings statement released after the bell, Lyft estimated its gross margin would expand by 500 basis points, or 5 percentage points. That sent the company’s stock shooting higher. On Lyft’s earnings call, held shortly after the release, the company’s chief financial officer, Erin Brewer, provided the correct estimate. “This is actually a correction for the press release,” Brewer said.

REUTERS/Mike Blake Acquire Licensing RightsNov 8 (Reuters) - Lyft (LYFT.O) reported third-quarter revenue and profit surpassing estimates on Wednesday, but gross bookings growth was lower than larger rival Uber's (UBER.N) ride-hailing business. "Softening macro conditions will likely impact Lyft more than its larger peer, Uber," said Angelo Zino, senior equity analyst at CFRA Research. Brewer added that an improved mix of airport rides, scheduled rides and priority pickups also helped margin expansion. Lyft forecast current-quarter adjusted core profit, a key profitability metric closely watched by investors, of $50 million-$60 million, higher than expectations of $48.8 million, according to LSEG data. Lyft said it expects fourth-quarter revenue to grow in mid-single-digits sequentially, compared with market expectation of 4.6% growth, according to Reuters calculations.
