Upturn Advisory & Investor View for LCID

09/24/2026: LCID (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Lucid Group Inc is an automotive company that develops and manufactures premium electric vehicles known for their high efficiency and advanced powertrain technology. Its core business strength lies in its proprietary engineering, which provides a competitive edge in performance and range. The company's primary growth story centers on scaling the production of its flagship Lucid Air and launching the new Gravity SUV. However, Lucid faces significant risks, including high cash burn rates, intense competition from established EV manufacturers, and ongoing challenges in scaling manufacturing operations. It is best suited for growth-oriented investors who can tolerate high volatility while monitoring production milestones and cash flow improvements.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
LCID receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, soft quantitative characteristics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
LCID has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with weak financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, moderate earnings growth (+0.6%) and strong revenue growth (+67.6%) are partially offset by soft cash generation (FCF margin -282.8%), soft profitability (net margin -199.3%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
LCID's financial health is supported by soft liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 7.9%). Operating efficiency is weak (1 stars), which helps explain the 1-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Revenue growth is LCID's strongest growth driver at +67.6% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, while earnings growth (+0.6%, moderate) and free-cash-flow growth (-31.8%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 68.2% and approximately 39.7% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 15.35% supports management-shareholder alignment.

PUBLIC INVESTMENT FUND 44.94%
Uber Technologies Inc 9.58%
UBS Group AG 2.32%
BlackRock Inc 1.59%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 1.53%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
LCID generates approximately $-928 of gross profit, $-2,587 of operating income, and $-2,828 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong cash conversion and healthy margins support the rating, although capital efficiency remains below the highest tier.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 0.09%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
LCID has a Value-Oriented profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
