“So kind of both spectrums could be hit that $17 range or potentially a nice recovery to that 21.”@ 7:13 · open at this moment on YouTube ↗
Thesis at the time
MixedThe speaker outlines a make-or-break week for Lucid driven by Tesla earnings, CPI/Michigan sentiment data, and Trump's consideration of US auto tariff relief. Lucid is below the 50-day moving average, historically signaling 20-30% downside, but a positive catalyst from tariff reduction or Tesla earnings could push recovery to $21. The PIF Saudi fleet management partnership with Elm is mentioned as a modest positive.
Key arguments
- Lucid is below 50-day moving average, historically implying 20-30% further pullback
- Trump considering easing US auto tariffs, which could be huge given Lucid guided 12-15% margin hit
- Tesla Q3 earnings Wednesday are key - doom-and-gloom guidance would hit other EVs including Lucid
- Short interest at 39.7M shares (31.3% of float), shorts expected to be very active this week
- Lucid partners with PIF-backed Elm for fleet management in Saudi - potentially linked to the 50-100K vehicle government deal
- Q3 earnings Q&A opens October 22-23; good questions within first 24 hours are most likely to be asked
Counter-arguments acknowledged
- Strong data or positive Tesla earnings could prompt a recovery to $21
- If Cantor Fitzgerald's Andre Shepard raises his $26 price target, Lucid could move higher
