Electric vehicle manufacturer Rivian completes its first day of public trading with an impressive closing price of $100.73 per share. The stock opens at $78 and climbs to a peak of $119.38 before settling at its final price, giving the company a massive initial valuation of $66.5 billion.
The successful debut marks a major transition for the company, which previously relies solely on private investments from corporate giants like Amazon and Ford. Even after the market closes, Rivian shows continued momentum as its stock edges up to $101.80 in after-hours trading.
Alongside its financial milestone, Rivian uses its IPO launch to highlight its environmental commitments. The company announces that 8.2 million shares of its equity directly fund its philanthropic mission, supporting climate initiatives and preserving biodiversity as it competes in the growing EV market.
