Lucid Group Inc. reported substantial losses, totaling $3.1 billion, reflective of its struggles in the highly competitive electric vehicle market. Revenue showed slight improvement, rising to $807 million in 2024 from $595 million in 2023, but production numbers remained low with only 9,029 cars delivered last year. Following the announcement of CEO Peter Rawlinson’s departure, stock fluctuations indicated investor uncertainty. Despite potential improvements, Lucid faces significant challenges, including loss of tax credits and high vehicle prices, which hinder sales in a market increasingly focused on affordability and range capabilities for EVs.
The company faces too many headwinds, which go beyond its losses and tiny unit sales. Lucid is caught in the EV industry downdraft.
Alnowaiser missed the point. Lucid's problems are so deep that a new CEO cannot solve them.
Lucid's stock was down 6% after earnings to $2.61 per share. However, it recovered 10% on news that long-time CEO Peter Rawlinson would step down.
Much of this concerns the loss of a $7,500 tax credit many Americans get when they buy an EV, making it harder for Lucid to sell cars.
