Will Lucid RAISE Guidance - HOW Would the Stock Price REACT 🔥 Catalyst That Lucid NEEDS
Overall SentimentBullishStrength: 72%
Overall Thesis
Lucid's CEO has strongly hinted at far exceeding 9,000-vehicle year-end delivery guidance, and if they raise guidance at Q2 earnings, it could serve as an unexpected catalyst to drive a short squeeze.

BullishThe speaker believes Lucid's Q2 earnings (slated for August 5) will be a home run based on CEO Faisal's interview indicating investors will be 'extremely happy' with year-end deliveries. With 2,100 produced and 2,300 delivered in H1 alone, Lucid is on track to significantly beat the 9,000 delivery target. A guidance raise would surprise the market and potentially trigger a short squeeze given that 27.83% of the float is short — the most heavily shorted EV in the market.
Key Arguments
- CEO Faisal stated year-end investors will be 'extremely happy' with deliveries, strongly hinting at guidance beat
- H1 2024 already at 2,100 produced and 2,300 delivered — trajectory points to ~12,000 by year-end
- Q4 historically when Lucid 'wakes up' — prior Q4s showed significant production ramp
- 27.83% of float shorted — #1 most heavily shorted EV with better squeeze metrics than GameStop/AMC
- Back-to-back rate cut probability at 90.3% and 56.3% adds further upward pressure
- Options market shows 30% probability of $5.50+ by early August expiry
