Lucid’s Q1: Production Ramps, Losses Narrow, But Inventory Piles Up
🚗 Lucid produced 2,200 vehicles in Q1 (excluding 600 in transit to Saudi) and delivered 3,100 vehicles, a 58% increase, generating revenues of $285 million.
💰 The company reported a net loss of $0.24 per share and ended the quarter with $5.76 billion in liquidity. Losses and stock-based compensation were considerably reduced year-over-year, showing some operational improvement.
📦 While operational improvements are evident under a new CEO, inventory levels rose by $206 million, and write-downs were nearly $50 million, indicating ongoing challenges in matching production with sales effectively.
Super Micro’s Shocking Guidance Cut: Sales Plummet, Future Uncertain
📉 Super Micro reported a significant drop in Q1 sales to $4.6 billion from $5.6 billion in the previous quarter, with margins also contracting from 11.8% (and 15.5% prior) to 9.6%.
👎 The company attributed the sales decline to some consumers delaying platform decisions, but the market reacted negatively to the results, described by the analyst as a 'disaster'.
💩 Despite a positive Q2 sales guidance ($5.6-$6.4 billion), Super Micro slashed its full-year 2025 revenue guidance from $23.5-$25 billion to a new range of $21.8-$22 billion, a roughly 10% reduction, signaling significant headwinds.
AMD’s Mixed Earnings: Data Center Growth Strong, But Is It Enough?
📈 AMD reported Q1 revenues of $4.0 billion, marking a 36% year-over-year increase, with a net income of $709 million (10% margin) and EPS of $0.44, though revenues fell 3% sequentially.
💻 The Data Center segment revenue grew an impressive 57% year-over-year, although it experienced a 5% sequential decline. Client and Gaming segments also showed annual growth but were less dynamic.
🔮 AMD guided Q2 revenues flat at around $7.4 billion, with non-GAAP gross margins estimated at 43% (or 54% excluding inventory charges), raising questions about its high valuation (98x future P/E vs. a potential 36x).
Rivian’s Disastrous Guidance: Is There Any Hope Left?
📉 Rivian reported Q1 revenues of $1.24 billion, beating estimates, but issued a disastrously low delivery guidance of 40,000-46,000 vehicles for 2025, a major concern after years of similar underperformance.
💸 The company achieved a positive gross profit of $206 million, yet this doesn't translate to net profit. Capex is guided at $1.8-$1.9 billion, with tariffs expected to impact each vehicle by about $3,000.
🛠️ Despite over $22,600 in cost savings per vehicle delivered in Q1 YoY, Rivian is still building inventory, and its overall outlook remains challenging, prompting a negative market reaction and analyst sentiment.
