-- CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:
Lucid Group (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, driven by higher prices, as total vehicle sales fell 1% to 3,093 units. Moreover, LCID's production/sales gap widened significantly, as the company produced 5,500 vehicles during the quarter. LCID's quarter-end cash and equivalents of $700M was down from $998M three months earlier, though total liquidity of approximately $3.2B provides near-term financial flexibility ($4.7B pro-forma for an April capital raise). In the release, LCID did not provide any update regarding prior 2026 vehicle production guidance of 25K-27K units, implying an increase over the 17,840 units produced in 2025. In our view, LCID's actual sales are of greater importance, given apparent demand-related issues. LCID shares are currently trading 2% lower after-hours. This was an ugly release with few positives, aside from the April capital raise which extends its liquidity runway.
