Lucid Group Inc (LCID) saw its stock price plummet by 5.05% during Thursday's trading session, despite the company announcing the launch of its new Lucid Gravity Touring SUV. The significant drop in share value came as a surprise to many investors, given the seemingly positive news about the company's product lineup expansion.
The electric vehicle manufacturer revealed that the Lucid Gravity Touring, the newest addition to its Lucid Gravity SUV lineup, would start at $79,900. The company also announced that customer orders for the Lucid Gravity Touring are now open, with select configurations available for immediate delivery. In Canada, the luxury electric SUV is priced starting at 113,500 Canadian dollars.
Despite this product launch, investors appeared to react negatively to the news. The market's response could be attributed to various factors, including concerns about the pricing strategy, potential production challenges, or broader market conditions affecting the electric vehicle sector. It's also possible that investors were expecting more groundbreaking features or a lower price point to compete in the increasingly crowded luxury electric SUV market. As the trading session progressed, options sentiment remained mixed, reflecting the uncertainty surrounding the stock's performance in light of this new product launch.
