Lucid City“you are going to see most likely New 52 we lows leading into their earnings or as a byproduct of their earnings”@ 2:42 · open at this moment on YouTube ↗
Thesis at the time
BearishThe speaker describes this as the worst-timed earnings environment in his years of covering Lucid. Bitcoin -11%, NASDAQ futures -2.25%, Taiwan halting sell orders, and Lucid already down ~6% overnight combine for a very hostile backdrop. The market is the pickiest it has been in 2024: any hint of dilution, missed guidance, or vague Gravity timeline will punish the stock severely. The speaker fears Lucid could hit new 52-week lows leading into or after earnings. He suggests buying warrants (LCIDW) if bullish for more leverage.
