Lucid's Q2 Print Could Trigger a Massive Short Squeeze
LCID has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $2.37.
Summary
Lucid reports Q2 earnings after the close with 47% of its float sold short, setting up a potential squeeze. The stock has tripled from its July 14 low of $2.37 to $7.56, holding above key moving averages. Consensus expects a wide loss—$428M revenue and -$2.49 EPS—but options imply a 14.8% swing, triple the norm. A quarter that avoids a liquidity scare could force short covering, accelerating gains. This follows a chaotic period: a bankruptcy rumor crash, a 45% single-day drop, and a company denial. The Uber robotaxi partnership and recent layoffs add to the narrative. Watch for actual Q2 numbers and any liquidity commentary tonight.
