Innovative Eyewear (LUCY) Stock Surges 40% on Smartech Retail Partnership
Innovative Eyewear shares skyrocketed 41.67% Friday after announcing a collaboration with Smartech Retail Group to showcase its Reebok-powered smart glasses in physical stores. The deal, launching July 2025, aims to boost adoption through in-person demonstrations—a strategy CEO Harrison Gross credits for driving rapid product acceptance when consumers experience tech features firsthand.
Despite the single-day rally, LUCY remains down 33.7% year-to-date. Trading volume hit 1.04 million shares, still below its three-month average of 1.69 million. Wall Street coverage remains sparse, with TipRanks' AI analyst Spark maintaining an Underperform rating, citing unspecified "significant" concerns.
