Lucid Sinks to New Low After Stifel Cut as Funding Concerns Deepen

Analysts question Lucid’s funding runway despite a new $875 million convertible-notes deal.

Overview

  • Stifel’s Stephen Gengaro reduced Lucid’s price target to $17 with a Hold rating, citing expectations the company will need more capital over the next few years.
  • Lucid privately placed 7% convertible senior notes due 2031 for roughly $875 million to refinance near‑term maturities and bolster working capital.
  • The company missed third‑quarter estimates with about $336.6 million in revenue and an adjusted loss of $2.65 per share while trimming 2025 production guidance to roughly 18,000 vehicles.
  • Leadership turnover intensified as reports detailed departures of senior executives including Eric Bach and James Hawkins, bringing C‑suite and VP exits to 14 in under two years.
  • Uber’s 13,715,121‑share position, disclosed at $326.3 million on Sept. 30, fell about 40% to roughly $194.8 million over the first six weeks of the fourth quarter as Lucid’s stock slid.
