Shares of Lucid Group (LCID, Financial) experienced a 3.76% rise today, reversing the previous day's downward trend. This increase can be attributed primarily to Lucid Group's announcement regarding the expansion of its product lineup.
Lucid Group (LCID, Financial), a technology and automotive company, is now accepting orders for its Gravity Grand Touring SUV, marking its expansion beyond the luxury Air sedan models. The Gravity Grand Touring boasts impressive specifications, including over 440 miles of range on a single charge, 828 horsepower, and a seating capacity for up to five occupants. The starting price is set at $94,500, with a more affordable model expected in late 2025. Despite these developments, Lucid continues to face financial challenges, as the company aims to produce only 9,000 vehicles this year.
In terms of stock analysis, Lucid Group (LCID, Financial) is trading at $2.21, and its market capitalization stands at approximately $5.17 billion. However, the company is grappling with financial issues, as indicated by its Altman Z-score of -1.81, placing it in the distress zone with a possibility of bankruptcy within the next two years. Additionally, Lucid has issued $3.9 billion of debt over the past three years, raising concerns about its financial leverage.
On the positive side, Lucid Group's (LCID, Financial) stock price is near a five-year low, which may present a buying opportunity for value investors.
