LCID Stock News: Lucid Group Inc rallies 2% ahead of its production preview events

Update September 28: NASDAQ: LCID retreated sharply from multi-day tops of $27.27 but managed to end Monday with 1.81% gains at $25.89. The negative close on the Nasdaq Composite failed to deter Lucid group optimists, as they preserved a part of the daily gains. The shares of LCID rally heading into its production preview events at its Advanced Manufacturing Plant (AMP-1) factory in Casa Grande.

NASDAQ:LCID dropped lower out of the open today, but thanks to a late day surge, the stock managed to post back to back positive sessions. Lucid shares eked out a small gain as the stock rose by 0.04% on Friday, and closed the trading day at $25.43. The electric vehicle maker outpaced the NASDAQ index, which was the only major index to close the session lower. It was a mixed day for EV stocks, as Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) jumped higher by 2.75%, while major Chinese EV makers including Nio (NYSE:NIO), XPeng (NYSE:XPEV), and Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) all closed the week in the red.
