On July 7, Rivian Automotive declined 8.99% overnight, trading at $18.33/share, with turnover of $14,300. The drop was triggered by the company's announcement of a 75 million common share underwritten public offering after the regular session.

Rivian disclosed that it plans to sell 75 million shares, with underwriters granted a 30-day overallotment option to purchase up to an additional 11.3 million shares. Based on Monday's closing price of $20.14/share, the offering could raise approximately $1.5 billion. The proceeds will be used to fulfill equity contribution obligations under the company's amended $4.5 billion loan agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy, with loan drawdowns expected to begin in early 2027.

Simultaneously, Rivian released preliminary Q2 financials estimating revenue of $1.55 billion to $1.65 billion, exceeding analyst expectations of $1.46 billion. Cash and short-term investments grew to approximately $5.3 billion from $4.8 billion in Q1. However, the significant equity dilution pressure from the offering overshadowed the positive revenue surprise, as the company remains unprofitable with market concerns over continued mid-to-long-term financing needs intensifying selling pressure.
