Lucid's Tech Outperforms Tesla, But Demand Lags: Analyst Initiates Sector Perform Rating

RBC Capital Markets analyst Tom Narayan initiated coverage on Lucid Group Inc LCID at Sector Perform rating with a price target of $6.

Given its competitive offering, the analyst believes Lucid's technology is 12%-23% more efficient than its nearest peer Tesla Inc TSLA, and at least 30% better than all other OEMs. 

The analyst notes that despite compelling product offerings, Lucid's brand awareness is low and sees modest momentum behind demand acceleration.

Narayan cites Lucid’s long-term strategic technology partnership with the British car manufacturer Aston Martin as a proof point for future licensing deals.

Price Action: LCID shares are trading lower by 2.67% at $5.84 on the last check Friday.
