Yesterday after the close of trading, Lucid (LCID.US) reported its quarterly results, which failed to beat analysts' expectations. Despite an initial drop in the market (post-close period), the move was negated by confirmed production forecasts for this year, where the company aims to produce at least 10,000 proprietary electric cars.

Revenues: $150.9 million, +55% y-o-y, (estimated $176.6 million).
-
Loss per share: $0.40, (estimate $0.34).
Investment bank Morgan Stanley added in the context of the reported results that the current state of liquidity gives the company until as late as 2025 to permanently exit the early stage business, establish new partnerships and launch production of the Gravity series SUVs, among others.
Prices for the Air series cars start at $87,000, but depending on the packages selected, their price can significantly exceed the US$100,000 barrier (remember that Lucid's biggest competitor, Tesla (TSLA.US), sells its cars in the US from just over US$40,000). This therefore forces the company to be very innovative in order to compete with Elon Musk's company.
