As we look to round out a very busy week, investors are looking at the hot stocks for tomorrow, Friday, Feb. 3. “Busy” seems like an understatement when it comes to describing the last three days of this week.

Today, few are holding out on Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) as a possible Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) in the making.
