10 stocks we like better than Lucid Group, Inc.
When our award-winning analyst team has a stock tip, it can pay to listen. After all, the newsletter they have run for over a decade, Motley Fool Stock Advisor, has tripled the market.*
They just revealed what they believe are the ten best stocks for investors to buy right now... and Lucid Group, Inc. wasn't one of them! That's right -- they think these 10 stocks are even better buys.
*Stock Advisor returns as of December 16, 2021
Lou Whiteman: But yeah, would I buy it? I'm skeptical of Tesla's valuation. Lucid is 10 percent of Tesla, but honestly, Lucid's business isn't 10% of Tesla's business right now. Lucid hopes to produce 20,000 vehicles, next year, 20,000 vehicles.
Toby Bordelon: Tesla did 240 in the last quarter, 240,000.
Whiteman: Yeah. Quarter million a quarter. Lucid's only taking reservations from, I think maybe it's two dozen countries. I love this company. I think this company could, will, should end up being one of the winners. But no, I just can't.
A lot of people have missed out on fortunes because of valuations, but I'm stuck in the mud on that one, I can't. I agree with you, after the SEC investigation, it didn't even bring it down enough for me to say, I'll take a risk, but that's me. That's my bugaboo evaluation.
I would bet that in the next few years, Lucid will both turn into a better company and I'll probably have a better chance to get in.
