Following the news, Top Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas reiterated a Hold rating on Lucid with a $3.00 price target. Four-star analyst Adam Jonas believes the Uber-Nuro deal shows that Lucid is expanding its focus beyond EVs and starting to pursue “AI-enabled autonomy” through strategic partnerships.
Analyst Sees Long-Term Value in the Uber Deal
Jonas highlighted Lucid’s upcoming Gravity SUV as a key part of the company’s next growth phase. He believes the deal shows Lucid’s potential to play a bigger role in the AI and self-driving space.
As part of the deal, Uber will invest $300 million in Lucid. While the amount is relatively small compared to Lucid’s ongoing cash needs, Jonas believes it could provide short-term support as Lucid works to ramp up Gravity production.
Although Morgan Stanley remains cautious on the stock, the firm views the deal as an important step that could lead to more partnerships in AI, EV technology, and global markets, helping Lucid strengthen its position in the fast-growing autonomous driving space.
