CEO John David Risher purchased 5,030 shares of LYFT at $19.80 on 2025-12-10, adding to a substantial post-transaction position of 11,802,296 shares. His prior trades at LYFT show a 3-of-5 timing pattern well-timed at the 90-day mark, with outcomes ranging from +83.0% to -18.2%. His cross-ticker track record reflects an avg 90d return +18.4% with a 60.00% 90d win rate across 5 prior open-market buys. The current share price of $20.52 sits -16.5% from the 52-week high of $24.57 and -15.1% over the last 30 days, suggesting the buy occurred in a period of downward momentum.

Significance 5/10

Director Aggarwal sells 174,599 shares ($3.9M) at $22.30; retains 874,369 shares post-transaction.

Prashant Aggarwal (Director) executed 2 separate sales totaling 174,599 shares for $3,892,886.36 at a blended average price of $22.30 on 2025-12-04, reducing his holdings by 16.6% to 874,369 shares. The sale occurred 8.5% below the 52-week high of $24.57, within the 52-week range of $9.97–$24.57, while the stock has gained 22.3% over the prior 90 days. His cross-ticker track record shows 1 prior sell with an average 90-day return of -6.2% and a well-timed rate of 100.00%, suggesting a historical pattern of selling before declines; however, at LYFT specifically, his single prior buy on 2023-08-28 underperformed with a 90-day return of -0.6%. The fundamental backdrop shows strong revenue growth of 31.4% year-over-year on $1.7B quarterly revenue and 46.1M in net income, though the company trades at a P/E of 59.18. The magnitude of the sale (174.6K shares) and the retention of a substantial 874.4K share position indicate meaningful but not full-exit level liquidation.

@ $16.88
Significance 6/10

Risher (CEO) purchased 5,926 shares of LYFT at $16.88 on 2025-09-03 for $100,001.25, expanding holdings to 11.80M shares.

CEO John David Risher acquired 5,926 shares at $16.88, just below the current price of $16.66 and well below the 52-week high of $18.59. His prior trades at Lyft show a mixed record: 2 of 4 earlier buys generated positive 90-day returns (the 2024-08-09 buy returned +83.0%, the 2025-05-29 buy returned +6.2%), while 2 were underwater at the 90-day mark. Across his broader open-market activity, his cross-ticker track record shows an average 90-day return of +15.1% but a modest 30-day average of -1.7%. The stock has recovered strongly over 30 days (+19.1%), though it remains down 10.4% from its 52-week high, suggesting recent momentum. This purchase is modest in percentage terms relative to his 11.79M pre-transaction holdings but marks his third acquisition at Lyft in the past 12 months, indicating sustained interest at current valuations.

Significance 4/10

CEO Risher John David purchased 6,538 shares of LYFT at $15.29 on 2025-05-29 for ~$100.0K, reaching 11.79M post-transaction holdings.

Risher John David (Chief Executive Officer) purchased 6,538 shares at $15.29 on 2025-05-29, a modest addition representing +0.1% growth to his holdings of 11.79M shares. The stock is currently trading at $15.24, near the transaction price, and has declined 18.0% from its 52-week high of $18.59, though it has appreciated 22.9% over the preceding 30 days. His cross-ticker track record shows 3 prior buys with a mixed 90-day outcome (33.33% win rate, +18.1% average return), while his same-ticker history at LYFT across 3 prior purchases shows 1 of 3 trades were well-timed on the 90-day horizon. The company reported $1.5B in quarterly revenue with 31.4% annual growth but posted minimal net income ($2.6M), resulting in an elevated P/E of 254.00—a metric warranting consideration given the fundamental valuation profile.

@ $18.15
Significance 6/10

CEO Risher bought 13,790 LYFT shares at $18.15 on 2024-11-12, adding $250.3K to 12.11M-share position amid 30-day +34.7% price recovery.

CEO John David Risher purchased 13,790 shares at $18.15, increasing his holdings to 12,112,796 shares. The purchase occurred in the wake of significant recent price momentum—the stock rose 34.7% over the prior 30 days and 60.0% over the prior 90 days—though it remains 11.6% below its 52-week high of $20.28. Risher's same-ticker buy history at LYFT shows mixed timing: his August 2024 purchase delivered a +14.4% return within 30 days and +83.0% within 90 days, while his August 2023 purchase declined -5.6% and -12.1% respectively at those horizons. The company remains unprofitable (net income of $-12.4M over the most recent full fiscal year) despite revenue growth of 7.5% year-over-year to $1,522,692,000. This purchase represents a modest 0.1% net increase to his existing substantial stake, executed after a sharp price recovery but in a context of persistent losses.

51,815 shares
$501,025
@ $9.67
Significance 4/10

Lyft CEO Risher buys 51,815 shares at $9.67 on 2024-08-09; stock down 23.3% in 30 days, 41.1% in 90 days.

CEO John David Risher purchased 51,815 shares of Lyft at $9.67, increasing his holdings to 12,099,006 shares. The timing is notable: the purchase occurred when Lyft was trading near its 52-week low of $9.08, yet the stock has declined 23.3% over the subsequent 30 days and 41.1% over 90 days, indicating the transaction was poorly positioned relative to near-term price action. Risher's cross-ticker track record shows 1 prior buy with an average 90-day return of -12.1% and a 0.00% win rate, and his sole prior Lyft purchase (August 2023) also delivered negative returns: -5.6% at 30 days and -12.1% at 90 days. Against a backdrop of company-level headwinds—full-year net income negative and quarterly net income of $5.0M on $1.4B revenue—this buy does not yet demonstrate a pattern of well-timed accumulation.
