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

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
