Sign InIn a move reflecting the mounting operational and legal hurdles in the EV sector, Rivian's stock faced significant selling pressure, declining by more than 7%. According to reports, Citigroup maintained a Neutral rating on the stock with a price target of $15.38, while the company confirmed plans to eliminate hundreds of jobs as part of its push toward profitability. Additionally, the firm is facing a class-action lawsuit alleging false promises regarding Level 3 autonomous driving capabilities in its vehicles.
These pressures come at a critical juncture for the company, as market data shows Rivian shares closed at $15.93 on June 16, 2026, marking a 4.5% decline on that day (per Investing.com data). In comparison to peers, Lucid Group (LCID) remained near $5.36 (per MarketBeat data), while investors monitor ongoing cash burn projected by Seeking Alpha at approximately $4 billion for 2026, despite a 49% year-over-year growth in software and services revenue.
Traders should watch for support levels near the 52-week low of $11.57, with the stock currently at $15.93 (close June 22, 2026). According to the economic calendar, upcoming U.S. Building Permits and Housing Starts data on June 16, 2026, may influence broader market sentiment toward high-growth stocks, while the successful ramp-up of R2 deliveries remains the primary long-term catalyst for a recovery.
