Monday’s Rivian reported 12,640 vehicle deliveries during the second quarter, up 59% from the last quarter and topping analyst expectations of 11,000 vehicles, according to analyst estimates compiled by FactSet.
The automaker, which makes electric R1T pickups and R1S SUVs for consumers, also reiterated its annual production target of 50,000 units. Rivian delivered roughly 23,400 vehicles through the second quarter, including electric delivery vans and consumer models.
On Monday, the increase in share price pushes Rivian’s stock into the green for the foremost time since late February. The stock is now up nearly 3% in 2023.

The better-than-anticipated deliveries for both automakers are good signs for investors who are bullish on EV stocks and the adoption of appearing vehicles.

In an industry as competitive and fast-paced as Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG), standing out from the crowd requires innovation and adaptability. The cracks in the CPG supply chain were exposed long before the global pandemic struck, but the events of the past year only exacerbated the weaknesses.
Supply chain leaders, including VPs, often find themselves making bets with unknown financial consequences. Having started with largely infeasible plans generated by deterministic “one-number” planning systems, compounded by unexpected supply or demand disruptions, they are forced into last-minute adjustments to meet operational and financial goals.
Unsurprisingly, today’s supply chain faces numerous issues, including sustainability, technology, global economic and political instability, talent management, and supply chain resilience. Advanced forecasting algorithms and predictive analytics are used in supply chain management to help organizations of all sizes make better decisions by providing insights into what’s going on in their business at any given moment and predicting future trends.
