CEO Robert J Scaringe sells 34,818 RIVN shares at $15.00 via pre-arranged 10b5-1 plan; stock at $16.30, CEO retains 922,286 shares

Robert J Scaringe sold 34,818 shares (34.8K shares) at $15.00 on 2026-05-28 under a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 2025-03-14, meaning this transaction was scheduled rather than discretionary. The sale reduced his holdings by 3.6% to 922,286 shares (922.3K shares) post-transaction. Rivian trades at $16.30 currently, 28.2% below its 52-week high of $22.69, with the company unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year despite $1.4B quarterly revenue. His prior five trades at RIVN show a mixed pattern: four of the five prior sales posted negative 30-day and 90-day returns, with the most recent sale on 2026-02-18 followed by 30-day -11.2% and 90-day -23.2% declines, though the 2025-04-07 sale marked an exception with 90-day +16.2% gains. Given the pre-arranged nature of this transaction, no timing inference is warranted; however, the broader context of negative equity near a 52-week low and the company's unprofitability warrants tracking stock performance in the 30 and 90 days ahead.

Director Aidan N. Gomez buys 18,000 RIVN shares at $13.97; stock down -43.2% from 52-week high of $22.69.

Gomez Aidan N. purchased 18,000 shares at $13.97 on 2026-05-15, increasing his holdings from 36,232 shares to 54,232 shares—a +49.7% increase in his position. The purchase occurred after the stock declined -43.2% from its 52-week high of $22.69 and -25.1% over the prior 30 days, at a time when the company posted a net loss of $-416,000,000.00 in the latest quarter while generating revenue of $1,381,000,000.00. The transaction's timing relative to recent price weakness and the company's unprofitability over its most recent full fiscal year represents a discrete data point in the public record but does not itself indicate forward-looking conviction or strategy.

Volkswagen AG acquires 62,889,522 RIVN shares for $999.9M via private placement, raising stake to 209.77M shares

Volkswagen AG purchased 62,889,522 shares of Rivian at $15.90 on 2026-04-30 as a private placement, increasing its holdings from 146,880,123 to 209,769,645 shares—a net addition of 62,889,522 shares (+42.8% vs pre-transaction holdings). The $999.9M transaction reflects substantial capital deployed into a company currently unprofitable, with net income of $-416,000,000.00 over its most recent full fiscal year, though the company posted revenue of $1,381,000,000.00 (latest quarter) and annual revenue growth of +8.4%. At the transaction price of $15.90, Volkswagen's acquisition occurred when the stock was trading 26.1% below its 52-week high of $22.69. This is a structured financing arrangement, not a discretionary open-market purchase, and should be evaluated as a capital allocation decision within a broader commercial or strategic framework rather than as a market-timing signal.

Director Flatley buys 1,250 shares at $8.84 (April 2024) after selling 490 shares at $17.07 (October 2023); net 4 buys, 4 sales totaling 1,830 shares purchased for $25,280.67 across 2022–2024.

Director Jay T Flatley executed 8 transactions over two years: 4 purchases totaling 1,830 shares for $25,280.67 and 4 sales totaling 580 shares for $11,774.78, with a net addition of 1,250 shares at $8.84 on 2024-04-17. The most recent purchase occurred as the stock traded near its 52-week low, following a 32.3% decline from the 52-week high and a 15.4% drop over the prior 90 days. Rivian remains unprofitable with a full-year net loss of $1,173,000,000.00 against $1,558,000,000.00 in latest quarterly revenue. The pattern of trading activity—alternating buys and sells at varying price points from $82.84 down to $8.84—reflects exposure across multiple market cycles without indication of a single directional conviction.

Rivian CEO Robert Scaringe sold 34,900 shares at $16.80 under pre-arranged 10b5-1 plan; retains 1,044,731 shares post-sale

Scaringe executed a scheduled sale of 34,900 shares (34.9K shares) for $586,236.24 ($586.2K) on 2026-02-18 under a 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 2025-03-14. The transaction reduced his holdings by 3.2% from 1,079,631 shares (1.08M shares) to 1,044,731 shares (1.04M shares). Since the sale was pre-arranged rather than discretionary, it reflects a predetermined schedule established roughly 11 months prior and does not signal a near-term change in the CEO's conviction regarding the company. The CEO retained substantial equity—over 1 million shares—consistent with material alignment of personal and shareholder interests.

CFO McDonough sells 29,249 shares at $17.37 blended avg for $508.2K; retains 730.0K shares as RIVN stock hits 52-week high

Claire McDonough, Chief Financial Officer of Rivian Automotive, executed 2 separate sales totaling 29,249 shares for $508,171.41 at blended average price $17.37 on 2025-12-02 and 2025-12-04. This disposal represents a 3.9% reduction of her pre-transaction holdings of 759,266 shares, leaving her with 730,017 shares post-transaction. The sales occurred as RIVN stock reached its 52-week high of $18.06 and amid a 44.5% surge over the preceding 30 days. Given that Rivian remains unprofitable (net income of $-1,173,000,000.00 for the latest quarter) despite annual revenue growth of 12.1%, the timing of this equity reduction during the stock's peak valuation warrants investor attention to whether the CFO's capital allocation reflects confidence in near-term fundamentals or opportunistic rebalancing at elevated prices.

CEO Scaringe sold 52,350 shares of RIVN at $16.60 on 2025-11-11 for $868,832.01; stock now down 9.0% from 52-week high.

Scaringe reduced his RIVN holdings by 52,350 shares (-4.0% vs pre-transaction holdings) at $16.60, maintaining a substantial position of 1,246,405 shares post-sale. The stock has appreciated 24.9% over the 30 days and 33.9% over the 90 days prior to this sale, but remains 9.0% below its 52-week high of $18.02. His prior RIVN trades show a mixed timing pattern: 2 of 5 prior same-ticker sells were well-timed (with negative 90d returns), while his cross-ticker track record shows a 52.94% well-timed rate with an average 90d return of -8.6% across 17 prior sells. The company remains unprofitable with net income of $-1,173,000,000.00 on revenue of $1,558,000,000.00 in the latest quarter, despite 12.1% annual revenue growth. This sale occurs against a backdrop of strong recent price appreciation but persistent fundamental losses.

As the company's CEO, the magnitude of Scaringe's remaining stake—853,011 shares—indicates substantial ongoing alignment with shareholder interests despite the reduction.
