What would change the picture for RIVN

These are the specific events and levels to watch. None of them is a prediction.

  • Insider buying: none on the open market in 90 days. A purchase by an executive or director would be the first in at least three months. It would show up on SEC Form 4 within two business days.
  • Analyst ratings: the average score moved from 3.53 to 3.56 over three months (on a scale where 5 is strong buy and 1 is strong sell). A run of downgrades after earnings usually shows up here first.
  • Price levels: a close above $22.45 would be a new 52-week high. That level is 96.1% above the latest close of $11.45. A close below $11.43 would be a new 52-week low. That level is 0.2% below it.
  • Growth: revenue rose 11.1% year over year in the quarter ending Sep 2026 (trend: accelerating).
  • New shares: dilution risk is high now. A new shelf registration (S-3) or a prospectus supplement (424B) for an offering would raise it.

Key terms on this page

P/E ratio
Price divided by the last 12 months of earnings per share. A P/E of 20 means investors pay $20 for each $1 of yearly profit. It is only defined when the company is profitable.
Price-to-sales
Market value divided by the last 12 months of revenue. Useful for companies with little or no profit, but it ignores margins.
Form 4
The SEC form a company's officers, directors and 10% owners must file within two business days of buying or selling its stock.
Open-market trade
A purchase or sale on the exchange at the market price, paid with the insider's own money (code P or S on Form 4), as opposed to option exercises, grants or gifts.
Form 13F
A quarterly SEC report listing the U.S. stock holdings of every investment manager with more than $100 million. It is due 45 days after each quarter ends, so it shows positions with a delay.
Dilution
When a company issues new shares, each existing share owns a smaller piece of the company. Common sources: stock offerings, convertible debt and large stock-based pay.
Form 8-K
The SEC form for material events between quarterly reports: earnings releases, deals, executive changes, stock offerings and similar news.
