MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Rivian Automotive, Inc.:

  • The stock is currently trading at $15.74, which is significantly below the consensus price target of $19.05 held by twelve analysts who have issued a Buy rating, suggesting potential for substantial upside if the company meets its operational goals.
  • Rivian Automotive, Inc. has demonstrated strong revenue growth, with the most recent quarter showing an 11.4% year-over-year increase to $1.38 billion, and the company beat analyst estimates for both revenue and earnings per share in the latest reporting period.
  • Institutional interest in the company is growing, as evidenced by the Public Employees Retirement System of Ohio purchasing a new stake of 241,425 shares and Bank of New York Mellon Corp acquiring a new position worth approximately $49.9 million in the second quarter.
  • The company has secured a significant commercial contract to produce electric delivery vans for a leading e-commerce provider, which diversifies its revenue streams beyond consumer vehicles and provides a stable source of demand for its R1 platform.
  • Rivian Automotive, Inc. has improved its financial health, with a quick ratio of 1.65 and a current ratio of 2.10, indicating sufficient liquidity to cover short-term obligations, while maintaining a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.87.

Rivian Automotive
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in Rivian Automotive, Inc. for these reasons:

  • The company is still unprofitable, reporting a negative net margin of 54.96% and a negative return on equity of 73.90% in the most recent quarter, with analysts predicting a loss of $2.98 per share for the current fiscal year.
  • There is significant insider selling activity, with CEO Robert J. Scaringe and CFO Claire McDonough both selling shares in recent months, including a sale of 8,023 shares by the CFO on August 20, 2026, which may signal a lack of confidence in the near-term outlook.
  • The stock has a high beta of 1.62, indicating that it is more volatile than the overall market, and it has recently experienced a 1.1% decline to $15.74, reflecting sensitivity to broader market conditions and sector-specific risks.
  • Rivian Automotive, Inc. faces intense competition in the electric vehicle sector, with peers like Tesla and Lucid Group also advancing their technologies, and the company must continue to scale production and improve gross margins to remain competitive.
  • The company has a high short interest, with 154,422,410 shares shorted as of the most recent record date, representing a short percentage of float of 10.83%, which could lead to significant price volatility if short sellers increase their positions.
