MixedThe July US sales estimates show 890 Air units — a 27.7% month-over-month increase — but zero Gravity sales for the second straight month, which is concerning. Shorts hit LCID hard early (up to +20M intraday) before returning shares. Management will likely need to address the Gravity zero sales data at earnings. The stock held above the 50-day MA despite the selling.
Key Arguments
- 890 Air units estimated in July — 27.7% MoM increase is positive
- Zero Gravity sales for second consecutive month — major red flag
- Shorts hit LCID with nearly 20M shares early but returned most — net +4.9M
- 53% of options bullish — more optimism than usual
- Stock closed above 50-day MA (239) despite heavy short activity
- Broad macro data (ISM 48, NFP 73K vs 110K) drove September cut probability to 86.4%
