Portfolio Pulse from Shanthi Rexaline
Lucid Group's shares fell over 11% after Q2 deliveries missed expectations and production dropped. The company's year-to-date deliveries were at 2,810 units, risking its 2023 guidance of 10,000 units. Analyst Gary Black stated that without Saudi Arabia's 65% ownership, Lucid's stock would likely be half its current value. He compared Lucid to Rivian Automotive, which is on track to deliver 50,000 units in 2023 and has an enterprise value of $15 billion, while Lucid is likely to deliver 6,000 vehicles and has an enterprise value of $16 billion.
