Shares of electric-vehicle startup Rivian Automotive Inc. jumped by more than a third in their market debut Wednesday, the latest indication of the strong investor interest in the EV market.
The stock opened at $106.75, above its initial public offering price of $78 and giving the company a market value of more than $100 billion on a fully diluted basis. That market value puts Rivain above many other auto makers, including Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Co.
