Shares of Lyft (NASDAQ:LYFT) are down 4.5% today after RBC analysts downgraded to Sector Perform from Outperform, citing “structural headwinds.”

Second, the fact that Lyft’s management committed to working towards profitability could be an issue amid the rising competitive intensity.

They also slashed the price target to $16 per share, from the prior $30.
