Narratives
LCIDLucid Motors
BearishLucid is down 5.2% driven by a new $10 sell rating from Morgan Stanley and a report that Lucid delayed its hands-free driving feature promised for 2025. The speaker views both as damaging — Lucid's pattern of missing its own commitments and the continued lack of transparency (despite a one-month-old promise to be more transparent) is frustrating institutional buyers. Short interest is within 0.02% of an all-time high.
Key Arguments
- Morgan Stanley $10 sell rating adds bearish pressure; Robert Baird $14 hold from prior day
- Lucid admitted delay of hands-free driving feature promised for 2025 — pattern of missed deadlines
- Lucid switching to US-made Panasonic batteries by mid-2026 (from LG Chem) — tariff avoidance positive
- Short interest at 35.68%, just 0.02% from all-time high
- Institutions still not buying — market position shows more willing sellers than buyers
- Upcoming analyst ratings from Bank of America, TD Cowen, and others expected to be bearish
