Furthermore, Rivian also designs, develops, manufactures, and operates its Adventure Network Direct Current fast chargers and offers access to Combined Charging Standard, as well as FleetOS, a proprietary, end-to-end centralized fleet management subscription platform.

See the Top 10 EV Brands Right Now ## Rivian, the Stock Even though the stock has popped almost 64% in the past month, it is still down about 24% since the beginning of the year. The Nasdaq is up about 24% year over year. Note that the $18.09 consensus price target is also lower than where shares changed hands at the start of the year. Out of 28 analysts who cover the stock, 15 recommend buying shares, six of them with a Strong Buy rating. Canaccord Genuity and Cantor Fitzgerald recently reiterated Buy-equivalent ratings. More than 45% of shares are held by institutional investors, including notable stakes at Amazon, Vanguard, and T. Rowe Price. Note that CEO Scaringe recently shed more than a million dollars worth of shares. Wall Street expectations vary for where the stock heads in the next 52 weeks. While some analysts clearly lack faith in the company, others see huge upside potential. Even the consensus target signals further upside after the recent run. Strong second-quarter numbers in the August 6 report could prompt price target hikes, which would mean additional upside potential. **Low target** $10.00 −43.8% **Mean target** $18.09 6.2% **High target** $36.00 102.2% One of Rivian’s biggest challenges is intense competition in the industry. The major automakers have invested billions and are now releasing EVs of their own, and despite some failures, EV startups still abound. Even market leader Tesla has found its market share slipping, recently dropping below 50%. Rivian has lost billions of dollars in recent years, which is why the deal with Volkswagen is so important. The company has some more space now to effect a turnaround. Rivian has plenty of work to do to get its costs under control and move toward profitability. Yet, analysts on average anticipate the stock has some room to run. ∴ ## **ALERT: Take This Retirement Quiz Now (Sponsored)** Take the quiz below to get matched with a financial advisor today.
