Operating margin is operating income as a share of revenue. Free cash flow is cash from operations minus capital spending. Return on capital is after-tax operating income as a share of the money invested in the business: debt plus equity, minus cash. Market cap is the last closing share price times the latest diluted share count, so it is approximate. P/E is the last close divided by diluted earnings per share over the last four quarters, or the latest fiscal year where the quarters aren't available; there is none when the company made a loss.

About these figures. Lucid's short-term debt was relabelled in its 2025 filing, so the same loans were counted twice in 2024 and missing in 2025; its debt is now long-term debt plus the one current debt line each year. Share counts and per-share figures for earlier years are restated for a stock split (1-for-10), so every year is on today's share basis.

What Lucid Group does

Lucid designs, makes and sells electric vehicles (EVs). It sells two models: the Lucid Air sedan, first delivered to customers in late 2021, and the Lucid Gravity SUV, which arrived on the road in late 2024. It designs their powertrains, battery systems and software itself, and sells directly to consumers through its retail network and online. As of December 31, 2025, it had opened 45 Studios and service centers in North America, 12 in Europe and 5 in the Middle East.

Lucid says production of cars on its new, lower-priced Midsize platform is scheduled to start in late 2026. In 2025 it formed a partnership with Uber and Nuro to launch robotaxis based on the Gravity; along with a $300 million investment from an Uber subsidiary, it agreed to deploy a minimum of 20,000 robotaxis. It also supplies powertrain and battery technology and parts to Aston Martin. Under an agreement, the Government of Saudi Arabia may buy up to 100,000 vehicles, with a minimum of 50,000. Lucid competes with traditional automakers and with newer companies focused on electric and other alternative fuel vehicles.

Lucid builds the Air and Gravity at its plant in Casa Grande, Arizona, which has installed capacity of 90,000 vehicles per year. A plant in Saudi Arabia assembles kits made in Arizona and is being expanded to build complete Midsize vehicles. As of December 31, 2025, Lucid had approximately 9,000 employees globally. An affiliate of Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund, the Public Investment Fund, is its controlling stockholder.

Its biggest risks, as it describes them

  • It has lost money every year since it started and expects substantial losses for the foreseeable future.
  • It depends on revenue from a small number of models, and has had delays in designing, launching and building its vehicles.
  • The Saudi government buying far fewer vehicles than expected, or Lucid being unable to fill its orders.
  • Shortages or price changes in materials, especially lithium-ion battery cells.
  • Its limited experience making vehicles in high volume.

Valuation

Two ways to value Lucid Group yourself, both starting from its filings: a discounted cash flow model and the price-to-earnings method.

Discounted cash flow (DCF)

A discounted cash flow (DCF) model values a business as the cash it may generate in future, discounted back to today. The starting figures come from Lucid Group's 10-K (or, for net cash and shares, its latest 10-Q) and the assumptions are yours: start from one of three example scenarios, then change any figure to see what it implies for a share, and how that compares with the last share price.

The example scenarios need a positive starting cash flow. Lucid Group's free cash flow was negative in fiscal 2025 and over the last three years, and so is cash from operations minus depreciation. You can still enter your own figures in the calculator.

From the filings
Cash from operations minus capital spending in fiscal 2025.
Cash and short-term investments minus debt and finance leases at December 31, 2025. Negative means net debt.
Weighted-average diluted shares in fiscal 2025.
Your assumptions
Start from
Fitted to Lucid Group's own revenue growth, as above. Cautious: growth of 10% then 6% a year, 2% after year 10, a 14% discount rate. Base: growth of 20% then 11% a year, 2.5% after year 10, a 13% discount rate. Optimistic: growth of 25% then 14% a year, 3% after year 10, a 12% discount rate.
Long-run growth forever after year 10. Usually close to inflation, and always below the discount rate.
The yearly return an investor wants for the risk. A higher rate gives a lower value.

How the value changes with two assumptions

Value per share in US$, with the growth rates above. The highlighted cell matches the current assumptions.
How the model works. Free cash flow grows at the first rate for five years and the second rate for five more, and each year is discounted at the discount rate. Everything after year 10 is valued as year-10 cash flow × (1 + growth after year 10) ÷ (discount rate − growth after year 10), discounted back ten years. Net cash is added and the total is divided by diluted shares. The result depends entirely on the assumptions. It is not a forecast, a price target or a recommendation. The last close is the consolidated US closing price, from Databento.

Price-to-earnings (P/E) method

Another common way to value a company is to multiply its earnings per share by a price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple: the number of years of today's earnings an investor pays for a share. A higher multiple usually means investors expect earnings to grow. Choose a multiple, for example from similar companies, to see the value it gives.

The P/E method needs positive earnings, and Lucid Group's latest diluted earnings per share were negative or zero.

US$ millions unless stated, at each fiscal year end. Net debt to EBITDA is debt minus cash, divided by operating income before depreciation and amortization: roughly how many years of those earnings the net debt equals. Debt to equity is debt as a multiple of shareholders' equity. Interest coverage is operating income divided by interest expense. The current ratio is current assets over current liabilities; the quick ratio leaves out inventory.

Insider trades

Over the 12 months between October 27, 2025 and October 26, 2026, no insider bought Lucid Group shares on the open market, and 1 insider sold $18,640, all of it under trading plans set up in advance.

Grants, option exercises and shares withheld for tax aren't counted. Insiders buy and sell for many reasons, such as taxes, spreading their savings or a plan set up months earlier, so a trade on its own says little about where a company is heading.

Piotroski F-score

The F-score counts how many of nine simple tests of profitability, funding and efficiency a company passed in a year (Piotroski, 2000). The more tests passed, the stronger the year: 8 or 9 is strong, 0 to 2 weak. Companies that report no gross profit are scored on the other eight.
