Masha Bucher, a Silicon Valley VC and founder of Day One Ventures, took to X this week to address news reports documenting her close business and personal relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Bucher’s name — primarily under her maiden name, Masha Drokova — appeared in the latest dump of Epstein files over 1,600 times, The San Francisco Standard reported. “He made me feel I could be safe from the regime, someone with power and connections who could shield me” from threats she associated with her home country Russia, which she said she feared after she obtained her U.S. green card, she wrote in the post. “I was naive; I didn’t dig deep enough early on,” she wrote about why she agreed to work with Epstein. “I believed his story that his earlier conviction was about sleeping with a girl who lied about her age and trusted validations from multiple investors and scientists.” She also apologized to her founders, team and investors, saying that this situation has “caused pain I never intended.” The files paint a picture of how Bucher — whose Silicon Valley career began in social media and public relations — agreed to become Epstein’s publicist in 2017, helping rehabilitate his reputation after his 2008 sex trafficking conviction and setting up meetings between him and various journalists, as Forbes reported. The documents show that Epstein supported and encouraged her in the early days of Day One Ventures. The firm has since grown substantially — as Bucher told TechCrunch, it closed its most recent fund, a $150 million third vehicle, in 2024, bringing its assets under management to $450 million Some of the most salacious details from the emails involve Epstein giving her money and a Prada bag, and on one occasion, asking her for nude photos — though there’s no indication whether she complied — according to SFGate. Bucher is certainly a well-known VC in the Valley, having backed breakout companies like Superhuman, Remote, Worldcoin, and Truebill (which e...

jetcityimage Lyft ( LYFT ) achieved its most profitable quarter on record, fueled by another quarter of double-digit growth in gross bookings, active riders, and adjusted EBITDA, helping the ride-sharing company narrow the gap with rivals. “We delivered record financial performance in 2025 across all metrics, including all-time-high cash flow generation exceeding $1.1 billion,” said CFO Erin Brewer. “This continued strength, coupled with our disciplined operational excellence, positions us for further momentum, and we remain right on track to hit our long-term targets.” For the quarter ended December 31, Lyft’s ( LYFT ) gross bookings increased 19% from the same period last year to $5.1B, while active riders increased by 18%, contributing to a 3% gain in revenue to $1.6B. Excluding certain items, revenue increased to $1.8B versus Wall Street estimates of $1.75B. The increase in sales bolstered the company’s profitability as Lyft’s ( LYFT ) adjusted EBITDA gained 37% from a year ago to $154.1M and represented 3% of gross bookings versus 2.6% of gross bookings in Q4 of 2024. On a per share basis, LYFT ( LYFT ) earned an unadjusted profit of $6.72, which reflects a $2.9B benefit from the release of a valuation allowance of U.S. federal and certain state deferred tax assets. Additionally, Lyft ( LYFT ) achieved $1.12B in free cash flow and authorized a new $1B share repurchase program, representing 15% of the company’s market capitalization, “reflecting confidence in the business and its long-term growth potential while allowing for investment in durable growth.” The company’s global expansion through its FreeNow integration, autonomous ambitions, successful partnership with United Airlines ( UAL ), and programs like Lyft Silver and Lyft Teen encouraged the company to set ambitious targets for 2026 and upbeat guidance for Q1, including 17% to 20% growth in gross bookings to a range of $4.86B and $5.0B, adjusted EBITDA of $120M to $140M, and an adjusted EBITDA margin of ...

Lyft Inc. posted a surprise $185 million operating loss in the fourth quarter and issued a disappointing earnings forecast for the start of the year, a sign that its global expansion and new product offerings may weigh on profits in the short term. Fourth-quarter revenue gained 3% to $1.59 billion, but Lyft said it suffered a $168 million impact from “certain legal, tax and regulatory reserve changes and settlements,” according to a statement Tuesday. That in turned contributed to the operating loss after deducting other costs of business. A tax-related benefit, however, allowed the company to report a positive net income that far exceeded analyst expectations. A Lyft spokesperson declined to comment further on the charge in response to a Bloomberg News inquiry. Looking ahead, Lyft expects adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization in the March quarter to be $120 million to $140 million. That falls short of the average analyst estimate of $140.5 million, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Gross bookings for the current period will be $4.86 billion to $5 billion, in line with the average analyst estimate. The board also authorized an additional share repurchase of as much as $1 billion, the company said in the statement. Shares of Lyft fell 12% in extended trading after closing at $16.85 in New York. The stock was already down 13% so far this year through Tuesday’s close. Lyft’s results might disappoint some investors who have been looking for clues on whether reduced insurance costs in California will translate to lowered rideshare pricing and the increased demand that Lyft executives have previously teased. The company said Tuesday that while demand might tick up over time, “broad-based consumer adoption will take time to materialize and we now anticipate this being back-half weighed.” The muted guidance overshadowed rosy bookings in the holiday period, signaling healthy customer demand. Much-larger rival Uber Technologies Inc. po...

Coca-Cola's earnings report offered positives, but not enough to justify the recent run in the stock. Shares of Coca-Cola (KO 1.45%) fell as much as 2.5% on Tuesday, before recovering to a 1.5% decline on the day. The iconic beverage company, which is also a core holding of Warren Buffett's conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A)(NYSE: BRK.B), reported earnings this morning. While the results and outlook weren't all bad, the mixed picture apparently wasn't enough to justify the stock's recent run-up at the start of the year. Expand NYSE : KO Coca-Cola Today's Change ( -1.45 %) $ -1.13 Current Price $ 76.84 Key Data Points Market Cap $335B Day's Range $ 76.02 - $ 77.50 52wk Range $ 65.35 - $ 79.20 Volume 1.5M Avg Vol 18M Gross Margin 61.55 % Dividend Yield 2.62 % Coke's revenue misses, but earnings beat, and other positives In the fourth quarter, Coca-Cola grew revenue by 2.6% to $11.8 billion, missing estimates, but adjusted (non-GAAP) earnings per share grew 6% to $0.58, beating expectations by $0.02. Although revenue came up a bit short, growth on a constant-currency basis was 5%, so the actual results, excluding currency movements, were better than the headline number. Coke also noted that it gained market share in both the quarter and the full year in the non-alcoholic ready-to-drink beverage space. And a third positive was that case volume increased across all geographies except Asia, where it remained flat. In recent years, Coke had seen some volume declines in North America, but had been able to offset that with price increases. So, to see volume up 1% in the North America region was a positive sign. For 2026, management expects organic revenue growth of 4% to 5%, and adjusted EPS growth of 7% to 8%. Coca-Cola remains a dividend king for risk-off investors These weren't bad numbers by any means for Coke, and the stock reaction may have been due to it having run up into earnings. Coke's stock had already appreciated 11.5% on the year before today's repor...

The software rout that kicked off last week turned into a goldmine for short sellers who've been betting against tech's highest flyers. Data from S3 Partners shows that bears have raked in roughly $24 billion in paper profits year-to-date (YTD) as software stocks have cratered from lofty valuations. While the sector has lost $1 trillion in market value, short sellers are laughing all the way to the bank. Oracle (ORCL) is the poster child for this reversal, shedding about 54% from its September peak of $345.72. With this drop in mind, let's take a closer look. Oracle Stock Is in Freefall Over the last three months, ORCL stock has declined some 30%, reprsenting one of its worst quarters since the dot-com bubble.
