Why Rivian Automotive Stock Is Set To Rally Today
Rivian Automotive priced its IPO at $78/share, so the company enters the marketplace with a valuation of $66.5 billion. In comparison, Ford is valued at $81 billion while General Motors has an $85 billion market cap. Previously, Rivian was expected to price its IPO at $72 – $74. It should be noted that premarket indications show that Rivian stock could open above the $120 level.
The company will raise $11.9 billion from the IPO, and it will have a lot of money to invest in its business. Traders and investors look ready to pay a major premium for the shares of the electric vehicle startup as they do not want to miss a high-growth story in a market that is trading near all-time high levels.
It should be noted that Rivian is supported by Amazon, which owns a roughly 20% stake in the company. Clearly, Amazon’s involvement serves as a material upside catalyst for Rivian shares as Amazon has the ambition to compete with Tesla in the EV market.
