Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: LCID) shares experienced a dip on Tuesday, November 7, as the EV producer unveiled its Q3 2023 financial results. Underwhelmingly, the company didn’t perform up to Wall Street expectations.
Just moments after the earnings report’s release, LCID experienced a decline, fueled by the Q3 report loss of $630.9 million in the same quarter. This sudden dip continued in the subsequent days, further depreciating Lucid’s stock value.
Lucid also reported a Q3 revenue of $137.8 million, representing a 30% drop year-over-year, and a miss on analyst consensus for revenue, which was $185.1 million for this period.
