Lucid (NASDAQ: LCID) posted its second-quarter results after the market close on Aug. 7. The luxury EV maker's revenue rose 55% year over year to $151 million, but missed analysts' estimates by $54 million. Its net loss more than tripled from $220 million to $764 million, or $0.40 per share, and missed the consensus forecast by four cents.

Those headline numbers were disappointing, but Lucid's stock still jumped 12% the following day.
