On July 15, Lucid Group rose 17% in regular trading. The rebound follows the company's firm denial of bankruptcy and privatization rumors that triggered a historic intraday crash of up to 57% in the prior session.
An industry publication had reported that restructuring adviser AlixPartners was evaluating strategic options including taking Lucid private or filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Lucid issued a statement calling the rumors "completely false," clarifying that AlixPartners is only assisting with operational execution efficiency and has not recommended bankruptcy to management or the board. The company emphasized it has sufficient liquidity to sustain operations well into next year and has not formed a special board committee to assess such scenarios.
Market participants appear to be further digesting the denial, with short covering contributing to the continued recovery. Lucid's stock had closed the prior session down approximately 16% after recovering sharply from its intraday low of $2.37. The company is currently undergoing a major restructuring under a new CEO ahead of a planned midsize vehicle launch.
