Lucid City“So yeah, big things might be coming because of the recent price action.”
Thesis at the time
BullishThe host frames Lucid as showing relative strength amid a rough macro day, pointing to active short covering, a dropping cost-to-borrow, a new 13G filing from a Saudi prince adding to his stake, and bullish options flow. He also floats the idea that Lucid could pivot toward energy storage systems (ESS) given a recent battery-life record post, though this is speculative.
Key arguments
- Shorts have been very active, oscillating between increasing and covering, with cost to borrow dropping from ~360% to 71.1% annualized
- A Saudi prince's 13G filing shows a new ~5% stake acquired one week before earnings, seen as a sentiment booster
- Options flow shows $1.5M in calls vs $838K in puts with positive net premiums, indicating bullish positioning
- Lucid is outperforming other growth stocks and EV peers (Tesla, Rivian) during a broad market selloff
- Lucid's Gravity battery-life record post could hint at a pivot toward profitable energy storage systems (ESS)
Counter-arguments acknowledged
- Institutions do not appear to be buying in significantly despite the 13G filing, with large secondary market transactions being sells
- Stochastic RSI is at 75, considered overbought, suggesting possible consolidation
- Broader macro headwinds include a potential Fed rate hike, rising oil prices, and weak housing data
Hedges and caveats (from the video)
- Market headwinds from Fed interest rate decision uncertainty
- Broader growth stock weakness (NASDAQ down 1.4%, S&P down 1.09%)
- Housing market weakness and potential recession concerns
- Oil price spike affecting growth stocks
- Short interest remains volatile and active
- Earnings coming up within one week of 13G filing
