Lyft, Inc. (NASDAQ:LYFT) is among Jim Cramer’s recent stock calls as he urged investors to stand by the defense sector. A caller asked what Cramer thinks of them getting back into the stock. He replied:

The best one yet, we talked about this with the guys, the best one yet, and I have to tell you, I’m an Uber guy. I’m an Uber guy. I love David Risher; we know that. But I think that Uber’s very, very cheap right here.

Lyft, Inc. (NASDAQ:LYFT) operates a platform that connects drivers and riders for on-demand transportation. Cramer shared his insights on the stock during the October 16, 2025, episode, as he remarked:

So far this year, we’ve seen a spectacular more than 50% rally in Lyft, the number two ride-sharing platform that’s finally getting its due after years of sideways trading. I suspect it’s got more room to run.
