Mullen stock price

Lucid stock rose higher by 9.75% as it received a promising upgrade from a Wall Street analyst. R.F. Lafferty analyst Jaime Perez initiated coverage of the company with a Buy rating and a price target of $19.00. A lot of the bullish call is based on Lucid’s battery technology providing a longer range than Tesla on a single charge.
