LCID

RIVN

Electric vehicle (EV) startups Rivian Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ:RIVN) and Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:LCID) have struggled with production ramp-up and stock price performance over the past year. However, data suggests potential for improvement. A $100 investment in Rivian a year ago is currently worth $71.43, while the same investment in Lucid would be worth $38.97. Despite these losses, analysts are hopeful for a rebound, particularly as oversold levels provide a platform for potential growth. Rivian's stock rose 0.13% to $23.08 and Lucid's gained 1.28% to close at $5.53.
