Rivian is selling 75 million shares in an underwritten public offering expected to raise approximately $1.5 billion. The equity sale follows a recent rally triggered by stronger-than-expected Q2 deliveries and a raised full-year outlook, with proceeds targeting the R2 program.

The offering comes as Rivian seeks to strengthen its balance sheet amid ongoing EV market pressures.
