On Friday, Lucid Motors (LCID) shares fell to an intraday low of $3.62, marking a new record low for the startup electric vehicle (EV) company. While LCID eventually closed at $3.80, and is modestly higher to start the week, that's not much comfort for investors - the stock currently trades at less than half of the 2021 special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) IPO price of $10.
The most recent trigger for the downside in Lucid Motors shares was its guidance cut to full-year production. The company now expects to produce between 8,000-8,500 cars in 2023, down from its previous guidance of over 10,000 vehicles. Incidentally, Lucid Motors slashed its production guidance multiple times in 2022, as well.
