Lucid dips after announcing the date of its 1-for-10 reverse stock split

On Thursday evening, luxury EV maker Lucid announced the date of its planned 1-for-10 reverse stock split, and its shares fell nearly 5% in Friday morning trading.

Lucid’s stock price will increase 10x on September 2, without a corresponding bump in its market cap.

Interim CEO Marc Winterhoff last month denied investor concerns that the decision to reverse split was motivated by fears around a delisting. The move, Winterhoff said, was more about encouraging buy-ins from institutional investors that avoid buying shares below $5.

Lucid this month downwardly revised its full-year production outlook to between 18,000 and 20,000 vehicles.

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.
