CCIV Stock Price: Lucid Motors – Churchill Capital IV faces rejection near $30 and falls 4%

Update July 2: CCIV shares extended the previous rally and hit fresh four-month highs, although the stock failed to sustain at higher following the rejection just shy of $30 and tumbled 4% to finish at $27.41. CCIV shares tracked the weakness across the meme stocks, as the SPAC company kicked off July on the wrong footing.  CCIV boasted of having 10,000 preorders for its flagship Lucid Air vehicle, which drove the recent surge in the stock price.

NYSE:CCIV is one step closer to officially being a publicly traded company, and its loyal shareholders are thrilled. On Friday, CCIV gained 1.33% to close the trading session at $25.18, showing strength on a day where the broader markets were mostly flat and the electric vehicle sector traded lower. CCIV is still well off its over inflated all-time high price of $64.86, but should see more momentum heading into July as Lucid Motors approaches the merger date.

This merger date has been all but settled as July 23rd, pending a shareholder vote that will undoubtedly pass. The merger has been one of the most highly anticipated SPAC deals over the past couple of years, and Lucid is set to join an electric vehicle sector that is already overcrowded with both new and legacy automakers. Lucid is targeting the uber premium class of vehicles though, and is banking on high-end craftsmanship, performance, and exclusivity to separate itself from the competition. With just over 500 of its Lucid Air model set to hit roads in 2021, Lucid has some catching up to do in the coming years.

CCIV stock news

Even after the recent failures of SPAC automakers like Lordstown Motors (NASDAQ:RIDE) and Nikola (NASDAQ:NKLA), yet another automaker is coming public via a reverse merger. Self-driving truck company Embark is set to go public after agreeing to merge with Northern Genesis Acquisition Corp II (NYSE:NGAB), in what is believed to be a deal worth over $4.5 billion USD. So far Sequoia Capital and Tiger Global are two of the major investors in Embark ahead of its merger.
