Rivian stock lifts on R2 launch timeline, but 2026 outlook points to more losses

IRVINE, California, February 12, 2026, 13:55 PST Rivian Automotive is betting on a surge in deliveries for 2026—up 53% by its own estimate—driven by the rollout of its smaller R2 SUV in the second quarter. Investors liked what they heard; shares popped roughly 10% after hours on Thursday. The company projected 62,000 to 67,000 deliveries for this year, after getting 42,247 vehicles out the door in 2025. “The growth is really, of course, what we see in R2,” CEO RJ Scaringe told Reuters. Rivian’s new R2, starting around $45,000, lands in direct competition with Tesla’s Model Y, but it’s coming to market just as EV demand has softened following the end of U.S. federal tax credits, Reuters said.
