Overall Thesis
The Ceer-Rimac partnership raises questions about why PIF chose Rimac over Lucid for its Saudi EV brand, while the new 'Compromise Nothing' marketing trademark and broader market selloff leave Lucid technically weak.
Narratives
LCIDLucid MotorsLucid is down 6% alongside a broader profit-taking selloff, compounded by the confusing Ceer-Rimac partnership — a PIF-backed Saudi EV brand choosing Rimac instead of Lucid for its technology raises red flags about Lucid's licensing competitiveness. One analyst (RF Lafferty) gave a $4 buy rating while technicals remain weak with Elliott Wave projecting further downside.
Key Arguments
- Ceer (PIF-backed Saudi EV) partnered with Rimac instead of Lucid — PIF seemingly not prioritizing Lucid tech
- Lucid trademarked 'Compromise Nothing' — new marketing direction being established
- Broader market profit-taking post-election rally pulling Lucid down despite no company-specific news
- Short interest declining from 30% to 23% is due to dilution, NOT short covering — misleading metric
- Elliott Wave projecting further downside to S2 level
- 49% of options flow is bullish with $3 consensus on calls
Risks acknowledged
- Short interest returning 139K shares suggests today's selloff is somewhat unjustified
- PIF may be diversifying rather than abandoning Lucid
