Rivian Automotive announced on Wednesday that produced 4,401 vehicles at its manufacturing facility in Normal (Illinois) during the second quarter of 2022 and the delivery of 4,467 vehicles. The electric vehicle maker said the numbers are “in line with the company’s expectations, and it believes it is on track to deliver on the 25,000 annual production guidance previously provided.
Last week, RBC Capital analyst Joseph Spak released a new note reiterating the $77 price target and the Outperform rating on Rivian shares. The analyst expects Rivian to deliver 3,600 vehicles in the second quarter, slightly above the consensus estimates.
“We expect RIVN to report 2Q22 deliveries in early July. Current 2Q22 Visible Alpha consensus stands at 3.5k (RBC at 3.6k). Based on our RBC Elements powered normalized foot traffic data which attempts to track the pace of production at RIVN’s Normal plant, we believe current expectations for 2Q22 deliveries look very reasonable. Further, we believe the current pace of production may be back near the highs.”
