Our proven model predicts an earnings beat for Lucid this earnings season. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. That’s the case here. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
LCID has an Earnings ESP of +3.08% and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
Lucid sold 3,099 vehicles in the June quarter, a new record for the company. Deliveries rose 38% on a yearly basis and 6% on a sequential basis. A boost in deliveries is likely to have driven revenues in the to-be-reported quarter. Production in the second quarter of 2025 came in at 3,863 units, up 83% from the corresponding period of 2024.
Lucid doesn’t break out delivery numbers for its Air and Gravity models, but these two are clearly driving sales. In May, Lucid offered up to $22,500 in discounts on the Air sedan—nearly 25% off its $90,000 price tag. The Gravity SUV launch has also been well received, with many buyers being former Tesla owners looking for a fresh start amid growing backlash tied to Elon Musk’s antics. In early 2025, about half of Lucid’s customers had switched from Tesla. For Gravity, over 75% of the orders came from first-time Lucid buyers. This suggests growing interest in Lucid’s premium EVs.
Other Stocks With Favorable Combination
