Electric-vehicle maker Lucid Group <\/strong>(NASDAQ: LCID)<\/span> will report its first-quarter results after the U.S. markets close on May 5.<\/p>\n

We already know those results won’t be great. (I’ll get to that in a moment.) In fact, the stock is down almost 36% since the electric-vehicle maker<\/a> pre-announced some of its earnings on April 14.<\/p>\n

But I think Wall Street is missing something likely to be highlighted during Lucid’s earnings report — something that could cause the stock to rebound.<\/p>\n

That’s why I bought the stock a few days ago, and why you might want to buy it too.<\/p>\n

Why Lucid pre-announced some of its first-quarter numbers <\/h2>\n

This will take a bit of explaining, so please bear with me.<\/p>\n

Lucid announced a major cash raise on April 14 — $750 million from two existing investors, along with a $300 million secondary stock offering — for a total of $1.05 billion. (It also announced a new CEO<\/span><\/a>, but that’s another story.)<\/p>\n

There was nothing bad about the raise itself. Much of it had already been announced. If anything, it was arguably bullish.<\/p>\n

But deep in one of the regulatory filings that accompanied the news, Lucid disclosed some preliminary first-quarter numbers. They weren’t good.<\/p>\n

Lucid’s revenue of between $280 million and $284 million was far below Wall Street’s $433.8 billion expectation<\/span>. Its expected operating loss of between $985 million and just over $1 billion is much wider than the $692 million Lucid lost on that basis in the first quarter of 2025.<\/p>\n

That news drove the stock sharply lower, and it hasn’t yet recovered.<\/p>\n

Certainly, Lucid will need to explain the revenue miss on May 5. But I have a feeling that the explanation is already in plain sight — even if Wall Street’s algorithms don’t seem to have seen it yet.<\/p>\n

The explanation for Lucid’s revenue miss might be in plain sight <\/h2>\n

Lucid announced its first-quarter production and deliveries totals on April 3. The company produced 5,500 EVs in the first quarter, while delivering 3,093.<\/p>\n

The gap between those two numbers raises a question, doesn’t it? Why did Lucid build over 2,000 more EVs than it delivered?<\/p>\n

It’s a question that Lucid answered in the next paragraph of that press release.<\/p>\n

“During the quarter, deliveries of the Lucid Gravity were disrupted for 29 days due to a supplier quality issue with the second-row seats. As a result, the company’s ability to meet customer demand was affected. These issues have now been addressed, and the company is reaffirming its previously shared production guidance of 25,000-27,000 vehicles.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote><\/div>\n
