A premier stock-split stock that's gained 58,000% since its public debut makes for a smart buy, while Wall Street's most-anticipated reverse split of the year isn't worth the risk.
Shares of luxury electric car manufacturer Lucid (NASDAQ:LCID) fell 6.2% in the afternoon session after the stock pulled back from recent momentum as negative sentiment took hold ahead of its upcoming earnings report. The slide occurred despite Lucid's recent announcements of major partnerships related to autonomous driving. The negative mood was linked to broader challenges in the electric vehicle market, including cooling sales activity after a $7,500 federal tax credit expired. Softer demand and increased competition also added to the pressure. The company specifically faced headwinds from weaker-than-expected third-quarter delivery numbers and ongoing production performance issues. Investors appeared focused on these concerns as they awaited the company's earnings release for more details.
