BullishMultiple articles are calling Lucid a squeeze play due to 31.32% short interest with DTC of 3.01 days while other heavily shorted stocks (SoFi, NEO) have seen shorts return significantly. Whoever is shorting Lucid continues to hold despite the stock recovering. The 25bp Fed cut creates positive conditions for EV sector as lower rates encourage vehicle purchases. The analyst is bullish but notes that without a genuine operational catalyst (like a partnership), the squeeze may not materialize.
Key Arguments
- Short interest 31.32% (39.26M shares), DTC 3.01 days — all-time high area is 34%
- Other heavily shorted EVs (SoFi 8.72%, NEO 8.4%) — shorts returned; not so with Lucid
- Fed cut of 25bp to be followed by 75bp more in 2025 — very positive for rate-sensitive EV sector
- Numerous articles calling Lucid a squeeze play could itself incentivize buying
- Hedge fund buying visible on darkpool when stock is green with outflow > inflow
