Lucid Motors’ shares surge over 40% as Uber announces a $300 million investment in the EV maker for robotaxi partnership. Nuro, an autonomous tech startup, will equip Lucid vehicles for this venture. Lucid stock remains down 13.5% from its year-to-date high, despite positive news and investor excitement.

Investors cheer Uber partnership as it solidifies Lucid’s role in robotaxi strategy. The $300 million boost enhances financial stability and validates Lucid’s tech and manufacturing prowess. Collaboration with Nuro for autonomous integration adds value, while commitment to deliver 20,000+ robotaxis over six years ensures sustained demand and revenue.

While the Uber deal boosts Lucid’s prospects, Bank of America analysts maintain an “Underperform” rating with a $1 price target, citing potential downside risks. Tariffs, leadership changes, and slowing EV demand may weigh on Lucid stock. Wall Street consensus remains lukewarm with a “Hold” rating and a potential 15% decline from current levels.
