On August 1, Lucid Group Inc declined 8.19% in regular trading, trading at approximately $7.45/share, with turnover of $39.99 million. The decline was driven by a confluence of factors including broader EV sector weakness, cautious institutional sentiment ahead of the company's August 4 earnings release, and profit-taking following the stock's 20%-plus surge on July 29.
On the news front, Lucid is scheduled to report quarterly results on August 4 after market close, with revenue expected to grow approximately 53% year-over-year. However, institutional views remain cautious given the company's negative gross margin of -110.35% and a single-quarter net loss of $1.028 billion reported last period. The EV sector broadly declined, with peer Rivian falling 8.08% on the same session. Additionally, the stock had surged over 20% on July 29 after Saudi Prince Alwaleed disclosed a $129.5 million purchase of a 5% stake, creating short-term profit-taking pressure. The company also faces an ongoing securities fraud class action lawsuit related to delivery shortfalls.
