CCIV Stock Price: Lucid Motors – Churchill Capital IV recovers some ground on Tuesday

Update: CCIV shares rallied on Tuesday in early trading as the electric vehicle stock outperformed its targetted rival Tesla. The stock is still holding above the 9-day moving average but the move is largely sideways of late. Tesla is down 2% at the time of writing. 

NYSE:CCIV slid into the July 4th weekend as investor sentiment of EV companies turned sour despite some more record breaking delivery numbers. On Friday, CCIV dropped 2.53% to close the trading week at $27.02. The stock has been volatile over the past couple of weeks as the countdown is on towards the shareholder vote and the eventual merger between CCIV and Lucid Motors. On one hand, the Lucid Air sedan continues to get positive reviews as it nears a launch date, but on the other hand, investors are losing trust in high valuation EV companies that are pre-revenue.

Another day, another record-breaking deliveries announcement for electric vehicles. On Friday, it was Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) who reported its much anticipated second quarter delivery figures, which hit the 200,000 mark for the first time in the company’s history. Shares of Tesla surged to start the day, but investor enthusiasm waned later in the session, and shares finished slightly higher, gaining 0.14% to close the day. Why did the stock decline? The actual number of 201,250 was slightly lower than consensus estimates, and it was revealed that only about 1% of the vehicles were from the higher end Model S and Model X.
