Lucid Group’s Reverse Stock Split Sparks Market Concerns
Lucid Group's shares tumbled 4.5% on Wednesday following a 10-for-1 reverse stock split, a MOVE often interpreted as a distress signal by investors. The EV maker's stock has declined over 15% since the split took effect, compounding existing worries about its financial health.
Nasdaq-listed companies typically resort to reverse splits to maintain minimum share price requirements. Lucid's execution coincides with mounting challenges - the company remains deeply unprofitable, and its newly launched Gravity SUV faces make-or-break sales pressure. Market sentiment reflects skepticism about the automaker's ability to navigate these headwinds.
