If things aren't checked enough before publishing, incorrect messages (like the sentence above ☝️) may actually get published.

And Lyft learned it the hard way.

Lyft is the 2nd largest online cab service provider in USA.

Recently when they announced their Q4 results, people got so cheered up by the numbers that Lyft's stock surged by 67%.

A while later, an employee caught something unusual. Something that literally 'dropped her jaw'.

The result they released had forecasted a profit margin growth for 2024 by 500 basis points, while they actually meant to say 50 basis points.

(1 basis point = 0.01%)

There was an extra zero out there.

So they bucked up courage & came out declaring that they screwed up.

As soon as the clarification went out, the boomed up stock price came rolling down.

Yet, the stock closed on a higher side that day as the results still matched analyst expectations.

But it's not the first time in history when small typos made big blunders.

In 1962, NASA's satellite mission for Venus 'Mariner 1' failed during the launch.

Reason: a typo in the launch vehicle's software code.

And do you know that the founders of Google had a different name in mind for the company, the name 'Google' is actually a result of a typing error.

Do you know what was the originally intended name?
