Lucid Extends Graphite One Agreement ๐ฅ Lucid Shorts Increasing 2M TODAY โ Blacklane Announcement
Overall SentimentMixedStrength: 40%
Overall Thesis
Lucid extended its US graphite supply agreement to a 5-year deal and the Blacklane partnership appears increasingly imminent, but weak macro data and a surge in short interest (1.94M shares) are keeping the stock under pressure.
Narratives
LCIDLucid Motors
MixedThe new 5-year Graphite One deal for Alaska-sourced graphite strengthens Lucid's US supply chain and tariff positioning. The Blacklane video repost by Lucid Saudi Arabia suggests an official announcement is imminent. However, weak ADP employment data, a shorts surge to 390M shares, and missing the UBS auto conference represent continued headwinds.
Key Arguments
- 5-year graphite supply agreement from Alaska-sourced material improves US supply chain
- Blacklane deal appears likely based on Lucid Saudi Arabia reposting original video
- Shorts at 390.18M shares (31.64% of float) โ approaching all-time high of 33%
- No Gravity sales in May per Motor Intelligence (later disputed in next video)
- Lucid missed the UBS auto conference โ lost marketing opportunity
