The Lucid Group Stock Plunged Today
Lucid Group's new fully electric SUV launch and its plans to produce more than twice as many EVs in 2025 as it did in 2024 have been overshadowed by concerns over CEO Peter Rawlinson's departure, which may be rattling investors. The luxury EV maker reported a fourth-quarter loss of $0.22 per share on sales of $234.5 million, beating expectations but sparking worries about the company's ability to execute its growth plan. Lucid's stock plummeted 11.9% as investors question whether the company can overcome leadership changes and production challenges.
