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.

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

  • The stock is currently trading at $13.29, which is significantly below the consensus price target of $19.50 set by fifteen equities research analysts, suggesting substantial potential for upside if the company meets its operational goals.
  • Rivian Automotive, Inc. recently reported third-quarter earnings that beat expectations, with an actual loss per share of $0.48 compared to the consensus estimate of $0.64, while revenue of $2.15 billion exceeded the $2 billion forecast and grew 38.3% year-over-year.
  • UBS upgraded the stock to a Buy rating on November 2, 2026, citing improving demand prospects for the R2 model and the potential for higher automotive gross margins as production of the lower-priced vehicle increases.
  • The company raised its delivery guidance to 67,000-70,000 units, indicating that the R2, its most affordable electric vehicle, is driving significant growth and that initial demand for the new model looks solid.
  • Rivian Automotive, Inc. has a current ratio of 2.18 and a quick ratio of 1.70, indicating a strong liquidity position that allows the company to cover its short-term liabilities with its liquid assets.

Bear Case

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

  • The company continues to operate at a loss, with a negative net margin of 45.88% and a negative return on equity of 69.68% in the most recent quarter, meaning it spends significantly more than it earns from its operations.
  • Insider selling has been consistent, with CEO Robert J Scaringe and CFO Claire McDonough selling thousands of shares in recent months, such as Scaringe selling 34,818 shares in May 2026 and McDonough selling 13,144 shares in August 2026.
  • The stock has a high beta of 1.64, indicating that it is more volatile than the overall market and may experience larger price swings in response to market movements.
  • Wall Street Zen downgraded the stock from a Hold to a Sell rating on October 31, 2026, reflecting concerns about the company's valuation or future performance despite recent positive news.
  • The company has a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.78, which indicates a moderate level of financial leverage that could become a burden if interest rates rise or if the company fails to achieve profitability.
