Rivian shares drive toward 9th straight win

The winning streak continues for Rivian shares, adding to the 80+% gains over the last eight trading days as investors pile into the electric vehicle maker after a string of announcements.

Shares of EV maker Rivian continued climbing on Monday and are now up over 93% during the last nine trading days on Wall Street.

The current winning streak marks the longest for the California-based automaker since September 2022. 

There was no fresh public news Monday; however, last week, Wedbush analyst Dan Ives echoed his outperform rating and raised his share-price target from $25 to $30, saying the 20% jump in price target reflects the EV maker turning to its long-term business model.
