Feb 10 (Reuters) - Lyft forecast first-quarter adjusted core profit below expectations on Tuesday, hit by severe U.S. winter weather, seasonal cost pressures, and posted a surprise operating loss for 2025, sending its shares down 16% in after-hours trading.
The forecast marks a setback for the ride-hailing provider's comeback, fueled by a year of improving bookings growth, higher margins and expansion into new regions, and also overshadows a $1 billion share repurchase program.
