February 22nd - According to foreign media analysis, Nvidia has played a key role in driving the stock market to record highs for years. However, with growing skepticism about artificial intelligence, Wall Street is increasingly worried that the chip giants earnings report next week, regardless of the outcome, will depress its stock price. Nvidias stock price has been trading sideways for months, a significant setback for a company that was recently a leading index performer and achieved triple-digit year-over-year gains. Investors expect Nvidias earnings next week to exceed Wall Street expectations and raise forecasts for the next few quarters. But this may not be enough to boost the stock price. Meanwhile, if Nvidias performance fails to quell investor anxiety about artificial intelligence, it could lead to greater volatility in AI-related stocks and the broader market.February 22 - Libyas state-owned Arabian Gulf Oil Company (AGOCO) announced on Sunday that the Sinawan oil field in the Nalut region of western Libya has resumed production.

Lyft's Stock Falls After Revenue And Passenger Misses

On Monday, ride-hailing startup Lyft Inc (NASDAQ:LYFT) forecast current-quarter revenue below Wall Street estimates as user growth on its platform slowed, falling behind bigger rival Uber Technologies Inc (NYSE:UBER) and sending its shares down 13%.


According to FactSet, Lyft's active riders climbed by 7.2% to 20.3 million in the third quarter, which was the year's slowest quarterly growth and fell short of the consensus estimate of 21.3 million.


However, revenue per active rider increased by 13.7% to $51.88, representing the highest increase compared to the previous two quarters.


Uber holds a greater percentage of the ridesharing sector, has international operations, and revenues from its food delivery business.


After Uber reported a lucrative quarter and said last week that it was not seeing any signs of a consumer slump, there were high hopes for Lyft.


Rider expansion for Lyft is slowing.


"Lyft is losing market share to Uber because it lacks the cross-platform offering Uber has established with ride-sharing and Eats," said Nicholas Cauley, an analyst at Third Bridge.


On a post-earnings conference call, Lyft executives advised analysts that they were not observing any worrisome macro patterns heading into the fourth quarter, and that they were relying on cost-cutting measures and demand to enhance profitability and growth.


John Zimmer, the president of Lyft, said in an interview, "Historically, in a recessionary context, transportation is more resilient than delivery and takeout because we need to move about."


According to Refinitiv IBES statistics, the company expects fourth-quarter revenues between $1.15 billion and $1.17 billion, while analysts predict $1.17 billion.


As the company pays for driver insurance in the current quarter, it expects growing insurance prices to have a negative impact.


The business expected adjusted EBITDA (profits before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization), a profitability measure frequently monitored by investors, to range between $80 million and $100 million, compared to the $84.5 million predicted by analysts.


An analyst at D.A. Davidson, Tom White, said, "It's more of a cost-cutting victory than a growth one."
