One day after EV maker Lucid saw its shares briefly cut in half amid bankruptcy and take-private rumors, the company’s shares rallied 28% to finish higher than they were just two days ago. Lucid’s CEO Silvio Napolia responded to yesterday’s rumors, stating: While the abrupt turnaround in the stock’s price might seem like the market agrees, it could also be a classic case of a “dead cat bounce,” where short-sellers covered their positions following yesterday’s dramatic decline. Regardless of which narrative is right, Lucid still has plenty of work ahead to rein in its cash burn and avoid potential debt problems down the road. *Average returns of all recommendations since inception.
