Lucid Group (LCID) shares plummeted 22% this week following an abrupt CEO transition and another poor quarterly report. The EV manufacturer faces severe liquidity concerns, with only $700 million in cash against a negative free cash flow of $4.6 billion over the past year. Despite raising $1 billion from Uber and Saudi Arabia's PIF, analysts warn the company may run out of money before year-end due to high cash burn and failure to scale production, advising investors to avoid buying the dip.
