The stock initially spiked on the news before turning mostly flat.Loss per share:While analysts' non-comparable estimate of a $1.81 loss per share for Lyft's first quarter per Refinitiv's survey of analysts could have been on the low-end due to a lack of data typical of a company fresh on the public market, Lyft's loss is still significant.

The steep loss still marks an improvement from Lyft's year-ago quarter, when Lyft reported a non-GAAP loss of $11.40 per share.
