NASDAQ:LCID and the rest of the electric vehicle sector took a pause during Thursday’s session as the industry awaits Tesla’s (NASDAQ:TSLA) shareholder meeting after hours. Shares of LCID gained 0.37% and closed the trading day at $24.38. The move higher still underperformed the broader NASDAQ index which jumped higher by 1.05% after weeks of tech sector volatility. The rally was mostly due to a temporary short-term solution to the debt ceiling issue that has been plaguing the markets as of late. It should be noted that despite the green day on Thursday, Friday will bring the key employment report for September and thus far, the futures market is mostly flat.

There was a list of the most commonly raised questions among shareholders which included the proposition of a dividend, another stock split, and further developments of 4680 battery cell technology. With the impending release of Lucid’s vehicles, it will be interesting to see if Tesla announces any surprises at the call.

Another electric vehicle heavyweight, Nio (NYSE:NIO) received a generous upgrade from Goldman Sachs.

It was a stark change for Nio which has been dragged down by the recent regulatory crackdowns by the Chinese government, and shares of Nio were up 6.92% during Thursday’s session.
