Rivian Analyst Upbeat: Mizuho analyst Vijay Rakesh issued a bullish commentary on Rivian Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ:RIVN) this week. As EV sales ramp up, the Normal, Illinois-based EV maker is on track to exceed its full-year delivery guidance of 50,000 units, the analyst said.

And with overall industry sales of EVs "ramping well," Rakesh said he sees potential for Rivian to exceed its 50,000-delivery estimate for 2023. He also upped the price target for the stock from $27 to $30.

“After a strong start to the year, we see potential for strong auto sales momentum, specifically for EV, despite headwinds from a stretched consumer and high interest rates," the analyst said.
