Fundamental Wins, Technical Woes
Lucid recently posted better-than-expected third quarter results, delivering $200 million in revenue and a narrower adjusted loss of 28 cents per share. Production momentum continued with 1,805 vehicles produced and 2,781 delivered in the third quarter, keeping the company on track to hit its 9,000-vehicle annual production goal.
CEO Peter Rawlinson struck an optimistic tone, highlighting the record deliveries and the highly anticipated Gravity SUV, which is slated for production in late 2024.
Despite this progress, Lucid's stock performance paints a different picture, down 51% over the past year and 17% in the last month alone.
Technical Indicators Signal Trouble
Lucid's stock remains firmly in bearish territory:
- The share price of $2.13 sits below the eight-day ($2.15), 20-day ($2.26), 50-day ($2.94), and 200-day ($3.02) simple moving averages.
- The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator stands at -0.23, reinforcing the bearish sentiment.
- With a Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 35.36, Lucid is nearing oversold territory but hasn't yet signaled a reversal.
Analysts Hold Mixed Sentiment
Lucid's better-than-expected earnings haven't swayed the stock's downward trajectory, and analysts remain cautious. The Death Cross on the charts amplifies concerns about whether the Gravity SUV's late-2024 production can inject much-needed momentum into the EV maker's stock performance.
For now, Lucid’s technical setup suggests that “Gravity” isn’t just the name of its new SUV—it also reflects the stock’s downward trajectory.
