03:17pm, Wednesday, 26'th Jan 2022 Benzinga
Benzingas weekly Stock Wars matches up two leaders in a major industry sector with the goal of determining which company is the better investment. This week, the duel is between a pair of ride-hailing services: Lyft Inc. (NASDAQ: LYFT ) and Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE: UBER ). The Case For Lyft: This company began in 2012 as an app for Zimride , a long-distance carpooling service founded in 2007 by computer programmers Logan Green and John Zimmer , who sold Zimride to Enterprise Holdings in 2013 to focus on growing Lyft. The San Francisco-headquartered company grew over the years through its acquisitions in 2018 of the bicycle-sharing platform Motivate and augmented reality start-up Vision Labs and in 2020, the automobile advertising company Halo Cars . Lyft became the first ride-sharing company to go public via an IPO in March 2019, raising $2.34 billion. Among its most notable recent corporate developments were Decembers news that Lyft drivers would be delivering restaurant food in a partnership with the online ordering platform Olo Inc (NYSE: OLO ), the July announcement of a collaboration with Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F ) and Argo AI on an effort to commercialize autonomous ride-hailing at scale the first batch of self-driving cars were deployed in Miami last month for test drives and the news from last April that Woven Planet Holdings, Inc. , a subsidiary of Toyota Motor Corp (NYSE: TM ), purchased Lyfts self-driving vehicle division Level 5 for $550 million.
Toyota Targets A Record 11 Million Vehicles Produced For Its Fiscal Year 2022 Toyota has said it plans on making a record 11 million vehicles worldwide in its fiscal 2022, which starts in April of this coming year. The production number would shatter the record Toyota set in 2016 if it can be accomplished. The target marks a major 20% hike from the company''s current fiscal year production and suggests a coming robust recovery in the auto market, which has suffered this year not only due to Covid, but also due to a global semiconductor shortage. It''s a bright sunbeam of optimism not only for Toyota, but for the entire industry, which has struggled with supply chain hang-ups throughout 2021. Toyota has already been sharing its plans with its suppliers, a new report from Nikkei said overnight. The company is planning on making 7.5 million vehicles overseas and 3.5 million in Japan, the report says. These mark increases of 25% and 15%, respectively. Toyota is planning on output of more than 900,000 vehicles every month and has already told its suppliers that it has a target of 1 million vehicles for April 2022.
Toyota Motor Corp plans to produce record a 11 million cars in the fiscal year of 2022 as long as chip supplies are stable, the Nikkei newspaper reported on Tuesday.
In the latest trading session, Toyota Motor Corporation (TM) closed at $197.70, marking a -1.04% move from the previous day.
