Lucid Releases Q3 Numbers 🔥 Record HIGH Produced ⚠️ HOW Will the Market React ?!
Overall SentimentBearishStrength: 60%
Overall Thesis
Lucid's Q3 numbers show record production but Wall Street will likely react negatively as the 18-20K year-end target appears unreachable, similar to Rivian's guidance-miss selloff.
Narratives
LCIDLucid Motors
BearishLucid released Q3 numbers: 3,891 produced (record, excluding 1,000+ for Saudi AMP2) and 4,078 delivered. With 9,966 produced year-to-date, the speaker calculates that even a 40-60% Q4 ramp would only reach 15,000-16,200 total, falling short of the 18-20K target. He expects mixed Wall Street reactions, with most analysts being bearish given the likely miss. Q3 earnings set for November 5.
Key Arguments
- Q3 production: 3,891 (record) + 1,000+ for Saudi AMP2; 9,966 YTD total
- Q4 would need 40% ramp to 5,447 = ~15,413 total; 60% ramp = ~16,192 - both miss 18-20K
- Historical Q3-to-Q4 ramp is ~40% max; this time speaker sees 10,000 Q4 as not achievable
- Even 10,000 Q4 production would create massive inventory excess given insufficient demand
- Gravity GT demand is strong but AMP1 North America unveil has not happened yet
- Earnings November 5; guidance maintained at 18-20K despite likely miss
