InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips

Today, Lucid Motors and Churchill Capital (NYSE:CCIV) are in focus for investors. Indeed, CCIV stock is one that has been on a relatively volatile ride of late. Today’s 2% move to the downside is a continuation of this near-term volatility.

This move is a result of a variety of catalysts.

One of the key drivers of today’s selling pressure is an upcoming shareholder call. Investors bracing for this call have been bidding up shares of CCIV stock in recent days. However, today, the momentum appears to have taken a turn to the downside.

Additionally, the broader markets have turned red amid today’s inflation report. Tech stocks, and in particular EV stocks, are all struggling to gain momentum. It appears the market is pricing in the potential for higher interest rates. Interest rate hikes that come sooner than expected could have an outsized impact on valuations for high-growth sectors. For investors in CCIV stock, this isn’t a good thing.

That said, the majority of today’s focus with Lucid Motors has been on its upcoming shareholder call. And today, the company officially filed its slide deck with the SEC in advance of the 4:30 p.m. Eastern meeting. Let’s take a look at a few things investors may want to know about this shareholder presentation.
