Lucid misses Wall Street’s earnings expectations, expands loan from Saudi Arabia fund

Electric vehicle maker Lucid reported a third-quarter earnings miss alongside an expanded loan facility from its top investor, sending its stock lower. The company secured an additional $1.75 billion in credit from an affiliate of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. This new capital injection extends Lucid's financial runway into late 2027 as the manufacturer attempts a turnaround. The disappointing third-quarter revenue figures failed to meet Wall Street expectations, prompting downward pressure on share prices. Market observers continue to monitor the electric vehicle maker's cash burn and production metrics as it relies heavily on its primary backer for continued liquidity.
