Investors saw bullish signs in institutional ownership disclosures
Recent ownership disclosures through the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) spurred bullish momentum for Lucid today. BNP Paribas’s most recent ownership disclosure filing showed that it held roughly 1.95 million shares of Lucid stock at the end of March — up from the nearly one million shares it held at the end of 2025. Meanwhile, Uber‘s recent filing showed that it owned 37.8 million shares of Lucid stock at the end of March — representing an 11.5% ownership stake in the company.
What’s next for Lucid?
Uber’s heavy investment is an encouraging sign for Lucid shareholders. The two companies are partnered on robotaxi initiatives, and Uber’s support could prove to be influential in helping Lucid gain a greater foothold in the electric vehicle market.
On the other hand, some big challenges remain for Lucid. The business has continued to post large losses, and its first quarter sales of $282.47 million came in far below the average analyst estimate’s call for revenue of $440.43million. Additionally, the company has suspended vehicle production guidance as it carries out a review of its business. Down 76% over the last year alone, Lucid stock could have big comeback potential — but shares continue to look like a risky play.
