Uber Technologies Inc. and Lyft Inc. shares jumped in Monday trading as Wall Street analysts continued to suggest that gig companies — largely founded during and after the last large U.S. recession — could flourish in any coming economic pullback.
The analysts upgraded Uber on their belief that out of the biggest gig companies, it may be in the best position to withstand a possible recession. They said Lyft and Getaround Inc. GETR, -2.48%, a peer-to-peer car-sharing platform, are also likely to benefit. But because of its scale, Uber is “our #1 way to invest in this theme,” they added.
