Lucid July US Sales Drop 3.4% YoY to 860 Units, Adding Pressure Ahead of Q2 Earnings
LCID has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $2.37.
Summary
Lucid's US sales fell to an estimated 860 units in July, a 3.4% year-over-year decline and 5.7% drop from June, per Motor Intelligence data. The company also recorded zero sales in Norway for four months, a key EV market. These figures come despite aggressive incentives, including 0% financing and up to $16,000 in offers, raising concerns about demand. The sales update lands just before Q2 earnings, where investors will scrutinize whether cost cuts and the Uber robotaxi partnership can offset weakening consumer demand. The stock is already down over 30% this year, and the recent bankruptcy rumor-driven plunge to $2.98 underscores fragile sentiment. Q2 earnings after the close will be pivotal.
