BearishThe speaker does a full Q2 earnings breakdown and concludes it was one of Lucid's worst ever. The company triple-missed estimates, lowered production guidance to 18-20K, had supply chain issues due to magnets, showed a lack of meaningful new catalysts (no new partnerships beyond Uber), and management sounded unprepared. Dilution is expected tail-end Q3/Q4. Positives include maintaining midsize timeline for late 2026 and Uber confirming they reached out to Lucid.
Key Arguments
- Triple miss: EPS -28c vs -22c forecast, revenue $259M vs $262M estimate
- Production guidance lowered to 18-20K from 20K — Wall Street views this as a reduction
- Magnet supply chain issue was embarrassing for a company claiming to be a tech play
- No new partnerships announced — Uber was the only deal and it's already known
- Uber deal will target midsize (not Gravity) for late 2026 delivery — new information
- Management team sounded disinterested; two top analysts (Adam Jonas, John Murphy) didn't even join the call
- Dilution expected Q3/Q4 — 3/4 billion shares diluted in the past year alone
- Capex reduced from 1.4B to 1.1-1.2B — signals business slowdown
