Rivian Secures Up to $5 Billion Investment from Volkswagen, Shares Surge 40% 🚗
Volkswagen announced plans to invest up to $5 billion in electric vehicle startup Rivian, starting with an initial $1 billion investment. This move is expected to be followed by an additional $4 billion by 2026, including $1 billion each in 2025 and 2026, and $2 billion related to a joint venture for developing electrical architecture and software technology.
Market Impact 📈
Shares of Rivian surged roughly 40% in after-hours trading on Tuesday, ahead of an investor event. Rivian has been under pressure from Wall Street due to its cash burn and significant losses, with its stock closing at $11.96 a share, down about 49% in 2024.
Investment Structure 💼
The initial $1 billion from Volkswagen will be in the form of a convertible note, which can be converted to Rivian shares on or after December 1. Rivian is set to discuss the partnership further during an investor call at 6 p.m. ET Tuesday.
Strategic Partnerships 🌐
Volkswagen is the second legacy automaker to invest in Rivian, following Ford Motor, which was once among Rivian’s largest stakeholders alongside Amazon. The partnership comes as automakers adjust strategies due to slower-than-expected EV adoption. It is unclear how this deal will affect Volkswagen's plans for a $2 billion EV plant for Scout Motors in South Carolina.
Future Prospects 📉
Rivian has been cutting costs by trimming staff, retooling its Illinois plant, and pausing construction of a new factory in Georgia, expected to save over $2.25 billion. Despite reporting a loss of $1.45 billion in Q1 2024, Rivian ended March with $7.86 billion in cash and short-term investments, and over $9 billion in total liquidity.
