Lift Skids for another 52-week low by Investing.com

When it comes to Lyft (NASDAQ :), investors have apparently adopted the mantra "when in doubt, be on the sidelines or sell." According to financial analyst firm S3 Partners, 75% of the free flow of the Lyft shares is held short, Bloomberg reported. The uncertainty over the ranking company's valuation saw its shares fall as much as 6.8% on Monday, to record lows of $ 55.56.
Heading in a recent trading week, reporting that the company pulled thousands of electric bikes in New York, Washington and San Francisco after complaining of stronger than expected braking on the front wheel has also made investors think twice about supporting the shares.
