Lucid Q3 production drops 38% as Napoli-led reset clears inventory

Lucid Motors reported a 38% quarter-over-quarter drop in production to 2,954 units in Q3 2026, while deliveries fell 6.7% year-over-year to 3,806 vehicles. The decline reflects a deliberate strategy by CEO Silvio Napoli to clear excess inventory and align output with demand. Despite the quarterly dip, year-to-date production rose 33% and deliveries increased 3% compared to 2025. The company aims for $1.4 billion in cash flow improvements this year, with full financial results scheduled for November 9.

EU ban on destroying unsold goods tightens luxury brands' inventories

EU ban on destroying unsold goods tightens luxury brands' inventories

From July, EU rules bar the destruction of unsold fashion items, forcing luxury groups to rethink stock and pricing since destruction has been a key scarcity tool. Brands such as Chanel, Prada, LVMH and Inditex face higher inventory costs or expanded discount channels, and must balance donation and repair options with tighter production. The changes could boost real-time inventory planning, drive new resale pathways, and increase demand for smarter stock management while preserving brand value.
