Rivian (RIVN) shares are up 7% ahead of the open after beating Q3 expectations and hiking its full-year production forecast.
Here’s how the electric automaker’s results compared to analysts’ estimates:
The company delivered 15,564 vehicles during the quarter.
Rivian also ended its exclusivity deal with Amazon (AMZN) for its electric delivery vans.
The CEO said it the company in “active discussions with a number of large potential fleet customers to launch pilot programs” with the vans.
In a letter to shareholders, executives said, “We remain focused on ramping production and implementing core technologies designed to reduce cost and improve the customer offering.”
Rivian now expects to produce 54,000 vehicles this year, up from 52,000 previously.
Lucid (LCID) shares are dropping 6.7% in premarket trade after missing Q3 sales expectations and cutting its full-year production guidance.
Here’s how the electric automaker’s results compared to analysts’ estimates:
Lucid produced about 1,550 units in Q3, bringing the 2023 total to about 6,000 so far.
The company lowered its full-year production guidance to between 8,000 and 8,500 vehicles this year, down from about 10,000 previously.
Even with the lower guidance, that still leaves 2,000 to 2,500 vehicles to produce in Q4.
