One of those announcements came on Tuesday in the form of a tweet from the official Twitter account of Lucid Motors. In the tweet a short video plays in which the letters CCIV morph into the letters LCID, which is expected to be Lucid’s ticker symbol once the merger is completed. The video ends with the words ‘Arriving soon on the NASDAQ’, which was more than enough information to get investors excited and send the stock soaring. CCIV continues to be one of the most anticipated SPAC mergers on the market today, even during a time where many of them have been sold off back down to the NAV price as the SEC looks to add more regulations in the future.
