I was going to short cciv but thought once the lucid news is out stock is going to triple digits, anyway stock is down to $40!!!
The merger values Lucid at about $12 billion, but that figure is based on the cash coming in from special purpose acquisition company Churchill. The valuation of Lucid based on Churchill’s stock price Monday is $92 billion based on the 1.6 billion shares that will be outstanding after the merger closes. That’s enough to make Lucid—a company yet to sell a car—the fifth most valuable car maker on the planet by market capitalization, worth more than General Motors (GM), NIO (NIO) and BMW (BMW.Germany), among others.
