-- CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:
We lower our 12-month target to $6 from $10. Following a weaker-than-expected Q1 earnings release, we are maintaining a Hold opinion on LCID shares. We revise our adjusted EPS estimates to -$12.00 from -$12.70 for '26 and to -$11.10 from -$11.45 for '27. LCID posted Q1 adjusted EPS of -$2.82 vs. -$2.04, well short of the -$2.30 consensus. Revenue rose 20% to $282.5M ($76.0M below consensus) in Q1, led by higher prices, as total vehicle sales fell 1% to 3,093 units. In the release, LCID did not provide any update regarding prior 2026 vehicle production guidance of 25K-27K units (an implied increase over the 17,840 units produced in 2025). In our view, LCID's accelerating cash burn and rising inventories suggest ongoing risks. The company's ability to achieve sustainable growth while managing its substantial cash requirements remains the critical challenge as it seeks to establish a viable position in the competitive luxury EV market; however, a $1.5B capital raise last month helps extend its liquidity runway.
