Rivian valued at over $100 billion in debut, after world’s biggest IPO of 2021
(Reuters) -Shares of Rivian Automotive Inc surged as much as 53% in its Nasdaq debut on Wednesday, giving the Amazon-backed electric vehicle maker a market valuation of more than $100 billion after the world’s biggest initial public offering this year. That made Rivian the second most valuable U.S. automaker after Tesla Inc, which is worth $1.06 trillion. Despite just having started selling vehicles and having little revenue to report, Rivian ranked ahead of General Motors Co at $86.05 billion, Ford Motor Co at $77.37 billion, and Lucid Group at $65.96 billion.
