Electric-vehicle (EV) maker Lucid Group (LCID -0. 87%) is forecast to see a massive boost in sales

Analysts believe revenue will grow by more than 70% this year, with another 97% growth expected in 2026

Think the market is already pricing in this growth

Lucid stock remains surprisingly cheap for one obvious reason

Lucid Group stock is cheap, but there's a catch Why is Lucid's sales base expected to skyrocket in 2026 and 2027

Earlier this year, the company started duction of its Gravity SUV platform

As a category, SUVs have outsold sedans for years in the U

More than half of all vehicles sold domestically are now SUVs

Because Lucid only had a single vehicle in its previous lineup -- a sedan called the Lucid Air -- the introduction of its new Gravity SUV model essentially doubled its lineup while adding an arguably more attractive option for buyers

Lucid's near-term growth rate is expected to trounce other EV stocks Rivian (RIVN 0. 38%) and Tesla (TSLA -0

Yet its valuation is stuck somewhere between the two

Excitingly, Lucid could potentially sustain its high growth rates for years to come

In 2026, the automaker expects to start duction of three new models

All are expected to be priced under $50,000 apiece, making its vehicles more affordable to millions of new potential buyers

Why is Lucid stock still trading with a market cap of just $6

There's one obvious reason

Lucid remains significantly smaller than Tesla

It's also less than half the size of Rivian on a market-cap basis

This limits its access to capital -- a critical disadvantage in a capital-intensive industry

Lucid has big plans for growth

However, over the past decade alone, at least 30 EV makers have gone under

Execution risk is a real concern

S are cheap for a reason, but they're still a reasonable bet for patient and aggressive growth investors
