What is a 52-week low stock: Rivian hit one on Oct. 29, 2026
A 52-week low is the lowest price a stock has traded at during the previous 52 weeks, roughly one year. Rivian Automotive shares reached a 52-week low of $11.38 on Thursday, Oct. 29, 2026, before closing at $11.45. The term is a simple price reference, not a sign of a company's health on its own.
Why it's in the news
Rivian Automotive reported third-quarter results on Oct. 29, 2026, after its shares touched a 52-week low earlier that day. The R2 SUV has become the company's best-selling vehicle by volume.

Background
The 52-week range is the span between a stock's highest and lowest trading prices over the past year. When a share price falls below every level seen in that window, it sets a new 52-week low. Traders and investors use these levels to judge how far a share has moved over a year.
Rivian's shares were down 1.9 percent on the day, closing at $11.45. After the company's quarterly report, the shares rose about 7 percent in after-hours trading. The stock remained down roughly 42 percent for the year, according to one commentary.
Rivian reported revenue of $2.155 billion for the quarter ended Sept. 30, up 38 percent from a year earlier, and a net loss of $913 million, against $1.17 billion a year earlier. Its R2 SUV, a smaller and less expensive model, became its best-selling vehicle by volume, and the company raised its 2026 delivery forecast to 67,000 to 70,000 vehicles.
What people are asking
Does a 52-week low mean a stock will keep falling?
No. The term only states that the price is the lowest of the past 52 weeks. Rivian's shares rose about 7 percent after hours on the day they touched their low, showing the price can move in either direction after such a level is reached.
How much did Rivian deliver last quarter?
Rivian delivered a record 19,248 vehicles from July through September 2026. The company does not disclose deliveries by vehicle model.
