Analysis

Lyft at #20 with a 24.61% stock gain — the strongest ride-share move of the cycle — while sentiment flatlines at -0.10, confirming that nobody is rooting for Lyft but short-sellers are finally done punishing it. Business score of 85 and Culture score of 46 is the profile of a perpetual second-place brand that has learned to survive in Uber's shadow. The stock move is a relief rally, not a redemption arc.
