Lucid trading at fresh all-time low following departure of engineering and software SVP Emad Dlala

Lucid is continuing to sink to all-time lows, hitting a fresh bottom on Wednesday afternoon. The luxury EV maker is on track to close below the $5-per-share mark for the first time and is down about 54% so far this year.

All-time lows are nothing new for Lucid, which is down more than 99% from its early 2021 peak.

Dragging the stock lower Wednesday appears to be the voluntary departure of long-tenured executive Emad Dlala, Lucid’s senior vice president of engineering and software. Per analysis by industry blog EV, Dlala’s exit is the 14th by a top exec since late 2023.

In April, Lucid named Silvio Napoli, a former elevator/escalator company CEO, as its chief executive. Last month, Lucid reported a deeper-than-expected Q1 loss.

SpaceX gets a wave of bullish ratings from Wall Street analysts

SpaceX received more than a dozen positive analyst calls on Tuesday — including from major Wall Street banks — as they initiate coverage on Elon Musk’s space and AI company.

SpaceX went public on June 12 at a $2.2 trillion valuation, the largest debut in history. While the company hasn’t yet posted a profit, it seems to have convinced Wall Street that it will get there and grow its valuation on the way.

Of the at least 17 analysts that gave a rating on Tuesday, all but one gave it a “buy” or “outperform” rating. MoffettNathanson was "neutral."

The ratings come as SpaceX joined the Nasdaq 100 index, a benchmark tech-heavy basket of companies that underpins millions of portfolios. The inclusion adds built-in demand for the stock from index funds and ETFs.

Still, SpaceX fell more than 5% on Tuesday amid a broader sell-off, and is currently effectively flat from its opening price of $150 a share.
