Perhaps it was an ominous sign for Lucid as the stock took a turn lower on the last day before its quarterly earnings report on Monday. The focus of the call will be the new vehicle deliveries of course, and it has been suggested that a new fleet will be making their way to customers this weekend. Lucid investors will be awaiting a more concrete forecast for 2022, as the EV maker begins to ramp up its productions. Don’t expect any positive financial figures in the near future though, as the company continues to burn through cash in this early growth stage.

LUCID motors stock forecast

It was the worst week for Lucid rival Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) in nearly two years as the stock fell a further 2.83% on Friday. Overall, shares of Tesla fell by 10% this week, primarily due to the fact that CEO Elon Musk sold off a significant stake of his stock. To be fair, Musk still owns over 167 million shares of Tesla, so this was really just a drop in the bucket. Tesla’s pullback may be due to the fact that the stock was reaching overbought territory after its recent month-long rally.
