What's driving RIVN's price

The story driving RIVN right now: Rivian is poised for significant stock appreciation in the near term, driven not only by R2 production ramp-up and a strong Q2 FY2026, but also by operational improvements such as achieving positive gross profit and implementing a second production shift. High volatility-momentum readings (100) indicate significant narrative-driven price displacement.
