In that news, Lordstown shares fell $ 2.93 per share, or approximately 16.5%, from $ 17.71 per share to $ 14.78 per share on March 12, 2021.

Before the markets opened on March 18, 2021, Stephen Burns, CEO of Lordstown, appeared on CNBC and stated, “We never said we had business. We don’t have a product yet, so by definition you can’t have orders. “On that news, Lordstown shares fell $ 2.08 per share, or approximately 13.8% from $ 15.09 per share, to close at $ 13.01 per share on March 18, 2021.
