Another View: Lucid Group Looks Expensive On Sales
While the most followed Lucid Group narrative leans on future earnings and higher multiples, today’s P/S ratio tells a tougher story. Lucid trades on 1.3x sales compared with about 0.7x for the US Auto industry and roughly 1.1x across peers, while the fair ratio is 0x.
