Investors jeer Lucid’s reverse stock split, sending shares to an all-time low (split-adjusted, of course)

Though the dollar value of Lucid stock is 10x higher today, the luxury EV maker is trading at an all-time low on the first day the company’s 1-for-10 reverse stock split takes effect. The stock is down more than 10% Tuesday afternoon.

It’s the fourth consecutive trading day where investors are dumping the stock. Lucid’s last all-time low came on Friday.

Just minutes after Lucid first announced on July 17 that it would seek approval for the reverse split, it also dropped the news that Uber would invest $300 million into the company in a robotaxi partnership. That maneuver shielded Lucid from negative sentiment around the split until last month, when it also lowered its full-year production outlook.

SpaceX gets a wave of bullish ratings from Wall Street analysts

SpaceX received more than a dozen positive analyst calls on Tuesday — including from major Wall Street banks — as they initiate coverage on Elon Musk’s space and AI company.

SpaceX went public on June 12 at a $2.2 trillion valuation, the largest debut in history. While the company hasn’t yet posted a profit, it seems to have convinced Wall Street that it will get there and grow its valuation on the way.

Of the at least 17 analysts that gave a rating on Tuesday, all but one gave it a “buy” or “outperform” rating. MoffettNathanson was "neutral."

The ratings come as SpaceX joined the Nasdaq 100 index, a benchmark tech-heavy basket of companies that underpins millions of portfolios. The inclusion adds built-in demand for the stock from index funds and ETFs.

Still, SpaceX fell more than 5% on Tuesday amid a broader sell-off, and is currently effectively flat from its opening price of $150 a share.
