NeutralA New Year's Day preview of Q4 expectations for Lucid and Rivian. Lucid is down 65% for 2025. The speaker believes Lucid will hit its 18,000 production target but notes the persistent problem of deliveries lagging production (a pattern since 2022). Hitting the number would be a 5–10% pop, while missing would cause a 2–4% red day. 2026 guidance for ~40,000 units is what Wall Street will really be watching for.
Key Arguments
- Lucid down 65% in 2025 vs Rivian up 48%, Tesla up 11%, S&P up 16%
- Q4 numbers expected early January; needs ~10,000 production for 18,000 full-year target
- Delivery-production gap is a persistent pattern (2022-2025) — market will scrutinize
- 5–10% pop if target hit; 2–4% red if missed
- 2026 targets (ideally ~40,000) and guidance will be the real market mover
- Speaker expects Rivian to fall slightly short at ~40,000 deliveries
