Read MoreHide Full Article
Lyft, Inc. (LYFT - Free Report) reported first-quarter 2023 earnings of 8 cents per share against the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 9 cents. In the year-ago period, Lyft reported earnings of 7 cents per share.
Total revenues of $1,000.5 million beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $976.9 million and jumped 9.8% year over year. The uptick was due to an increase in active riders, which totaled 19.55 million in the reported quarter.
Lyft's revenue per active rider increased 4% year over year in the first quarter to $51.17.
Lyft’s adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter was $22.7 million compared with the year-ago figure of $54.8 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the first quarter was 2.3% compared with 6.3% in the year-ago period.
Total costs and expenses climbed 13.2% year over year to $1.22 billion in first-quarter 2023. Contributions fell 7.4% year over year to $465.1 million. The contribution margin decreased to 46.5% from 57.4% in the year-ago period.
Lyft exited the first quarter with unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $1.8 billion, flat sequentially.

J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc.’s (JBHT - Free Report) first-quarter 2023 earnings of $1.89 per share missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.04 and declined 17.5% year over year.
JBHT’s total operating revenues of $3,229.58 million also lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3,434.4 million and fell 7.4% year over year. The downfall was due to declines in the volume of 25% in Integrated Capacity Solutions (ICS), 5% in Intermodal (JBI) and 17% in Final Mile Services (FMS), and a 17% decline in revenue per load in Truckload (JBT). Revenue declines in ICS, JBI, FMS and JBT were partially offset by Dedicated Contract Services revenue growth of 13%.

Delta Air Lines’ (DAL - Free Report) first-quarter 2023 earnings (excluding 82 cents from non-recurring items) of 25 cents per share missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 29 cents. Volatile fuel prices and unfavorable weather conditions led to this downtick. DAL reported a loss of $1.23 per share a year ago, dull in comparison to the current scenario, as air-travel demand was not so buoyant then.
DAL reported revenues of $12,759 million, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $12,767.4 million. Driven by higher air-travel demand, total revenues increased 36.49% on a year-over-year basis.
