Rivian reports strong deliveries for Q2

Source: www.tradingview.com
Rivian Automotive reported strong Q2 deliveries of 13,790 vehicles, a 9% year-over-year increase, surpassing Wall Street's expectation of 12,000 units. However, production dropped to approximately 9,600 vehicles from nearly 14,000 in Q1 2024. Rivian aims to produce about 57,000 vehicles in 2024, needing around 17,000 per quarter in the second half of the year. Rivian's stock rose 6.97% to $14.89 on Tuesday, though it fell slightly post-delivery report. The stock saw a 40% rise recently, driven by a joint venture with Volkswagen and a positive investor day, which detailed cost cutting and plans to move to profitability. Rivian also benefited from Tesla's strong delivery report, indicating sustained global EV demand.
Analysts see resistance at $15 per share, with potential to reach $20. However, there are positive technical developments. The 5- and 10-week EMA have crossed bullishly (black ellipse). Moreover, the weekly RSI is on the bullish side of 50 (blue rectangle). The longer it maintains above 50 the greater the likelihood of further price appreciation ahead.
Despite this, Rivian shares are down 32% year to date due to slowing sales growth.
