Rivian to raise about $1.5B via 75 million-share offering, sending stock lower
Rivian stock fell about 10% in premarket trading after the EV maker announced a public offering of 75 million shares, aiming to raise roughly $1.5 billion to fund equity contributions under a U.S. Department of Energy loan. The company also pre-released Q2 revenue guidance of $1.55–$1.65 billion (above consensus) and reported a cash balance around $5.3 billion. Underwriters have the option to purchase up to 11.25 million additional shares. This move comes as Rivian shifts away from a 2027 profitability target amid higher R&D spending for autonomy and the launch of the R2 SUV, with profitability expected later this decade.
