Rivian Stock Drops Amid CEO Share Sale and Strategic Shift
Rivian Automotive's shares declined sharply this week as the electric vehicle Maker unveiled a Tesla-inspired business strategy. The California-based company announced a shift to direct-to-consumer sales, mirroring Tesla's approach, but with one notable exception that unsettled investors.
Concurrently, CEO RJ Scaringe sold $305,000 worth of Rivian stock, according to SEC filings. While insider sales are routine, the timing alongside the strategic pivot raised eyebrows. Rivian continues to navigate intense competition in the EV market as it repositions its operations.
