Why Is LUCID GROUP INC (LCID) Stock Down Today?

Lucid Group Inc (LCID) shares fell 9.10% to $3.45 on Tuesday. The decline was driven by a significant reduction in analyst price targets and weak delivery figures that pressured the electric vehicle maker.

What Happened

RBC Capital lowered its price target on Lucid stock from $7 to $4 while maintaining a Sector Perform rating. This move followed the company’s report that it produced 2,954 vehicles and delivered 3,806 vehicles during the third quarter of 2026. The production cut of 38% reflects a cash-preservation strategy, though it resulted in a miss against delivery estimates. Cantor Fitzgerald reiterated a Neutral rating with an $8 price target, but the broader market sentiment shifted negatively as weak delivery data weighed on the stock. Lucid also announced plans to open its first three retail and service locations in France in the first quarter of 2027, with an intention to expand its French network to more than 16 partner locations by the end of that year.
