Rivian Automotive, Inc.

• RIVN Stock Price 24h change: +1.92%. From 16.16 USD to 16.47 USD.
• Yesterday’s price recovery was driven by a technical bounce following a period of heavy selling. Despite the modest gain, the stock remains under pressure due to a 31% year-over-year decline in Q4 deliveries and recent analyst downgrades from Wolfe Research and UBS, citing high cash burn and slowing EV demand.
• From a technical perspective, RIVN is in a "bearish consolidation" phase: the stock is trading below its 50-day moving average ($18.02) and has lost nearly 26% since its December high. While the RSI suggests it is approaching oversold territory, the high implied volatility (76) and recent "Sell" ratings indicate that the short-term market is prone to further downside if the $15.86 support level is breached.
• Rivian issued a safety recall for 19,641 vehicles due to incorrectly assembled rear toe links, raising concerns over manufacturing quality control.
• UBS and Wolfe Research downgraded RIVN to "Sell" and "Underperform" respectively, citing a lack of near-term catalysts and skepticism regarding the profitability of the upcoming R2 platform.
• CEO Robert J. Scaringe sold shares worth approximately $341,071, which, although a small fraction of his holdings, negatively impacted short-term investor sentiment.
• Canada reached a landmark trade agreement with China to slash tariffs on Chinese EVs from 100% to 6.1% for a managed quota, signaling intensified competition for North American EV makers.
• Industry leaders at the World Economic Forum (WEF) highlighted that China's lead in the EV race is widening due to consistent policy support, contrasting with "stop-start" policymaking in the U.S. and Europe.

• RIVN Stock Price 24h change: -3.21%. From 16.67 USD to 16.14 USD.
• RIVN declined as broader market sentiment for electric vehicles cooled and analyst downgrades from UBS and Wolfe Research continued to weigh on the stock, citing increased cash burn and slowing North American demand following the expiration of federal tax credits.
• From a technical perspective, RIVN presents a "Strong Sell" signal with the RSI at 24.79, indicating an oversold condition that might precede a brief relief bounce; however, the stock remains in a firm downtrend below all major moving averages (MA5 to MA200), reflecting sustained bearish momentum.
• UBS and Wolfe Research recently downgraded RIVN to "Sell," lowering price targets to $15 as they forecast 2026 sales to fall below previous consensus estimates due to high competition and production scale-up costs.
• Rivian reported that 2025 total deliveries were lower than the previous year, causing investors to worry about demand ahead of the critical mid-2026 launch of the more affordable R2 SUV platform.
• The company confirmed that its custom-designed "Rivian Autonomy Processor" is set for 2026 vehicles, while it continues to manage a significant cash burn that is expected to reach $4 billion due to facility expansions.
• Global EV sales growth is expected to slow significantly in 2026 due to the removal of major subsidies in the U.S. and a cooling Chinese market, leading many manufacturers to scale back electrification targets.
• Canada and China reached a major trade deal to ease tariffs on Chinese-made EVs, allowing up to 49,000 units annually at a 6.1% rate, which is expected to increase price competition for North American manufacturers like Rivian.
