Lyft Outperforms Uber in 2025 Turnaround, But Uber’s Growth Remains Stronger
Rideshare investors face a pivotal choice between Lyft and Uber as their stocks diverge sharply in 2025. Lyft's 75% year-to-date surge contrasts with Uber's historical dominance, where its 137% total return since IPO dwarfs Lyft's 56% loss over the same period.
Uber maintains growth leadership with 18% revenue expansion last quarter to $12.7 billion, nearly eight times Lyft's $1.6 billion haul. The larger player's international footprint and food delivery verticals create structural advantages, though Lyft's recent momentum suggests narrowing competition.
