Overall Thesis
Lucid is not trading at a substantial discount right now given its PS ratio matches Tesla, and 2025 is a make-or-break year where the Gravity launch must succeed to prevent further dilution and share price erosion.
Narratives
LCIDLucid MotorsContrary to popular social media sentiment, Lucid is not significantly undervalued — its PS ratio (11.4x LTM, 6.6x NTM) is comparable to Tesla's multiple despite Lucid not being profitable. Rivian trades at a substantial discount relative to Lucid. The new CFO's Form 4 reveals standard RSU grants, not meaningful insider buying. The upcoming Q4 earnings on February 25 will be defining, as management must convince the market of a credible 2025 production ramp with Gravity leading the way.
Key Arguments
- Lucid's PS ratio is on par with Tesla despite being unprofitable — limited discount exists
- Rivian trades at 4x lower PS multiple than Lucid, making Rivian comparatively cheaper
- New CFO acquired 1.3M RSU shares — standard compensation, not bullish insider buying
- Market will look past EPS/revenue and focus on future guidance for 2025 production targets
Risks acknowledged
- Profitability unlikely until 2027-2028, so traditional PE-based comparisons don't apply
- Gravity success is binary — if it flops, shareholder equity is at serious risk
