Wedbush has revised its price target for Lyft (LYFT, Financial), bringing it down from $16 to $13, while maintaining a Neutral rating on the shares. This adjustment comes as part of their first-quarter preview for the broader internet sector. The firm highlights that current market conditions are clouded with uncertainties due to ongoing macroeconomic challenges, such as potential tariff effects and diminishing consumer confidence, both domestically and internationally.

As the first-quarter earnings season approaches, Wedbush has taken a conservative stance, reducing their 2025 projections and price targets across various stocks. This caution stems from a lack of clear visibility into the prevailing economic landscape, which could lead to a dampening of demand. Analysts at the firm are eager to hear upcoming communications from company managements to better navigate what they describe as a current "dense fog" of economic conditions.
