Joby Aviation (NYSE:JOBY) shares fall after Toyota JV filing ties funding to certification

Joby Aviation (NYSE:JOBY) shares fall after Toyota JV filing ties funding to certification

Joby Aviation, Inc. dropped in Wednesday’s session after Toyota Motor Corp expanded its manufacturing partnership with the company. Joby ended the day off 0.9% at $8.84. Shares moved between $9.31 and $8.73, with volume hitting about 45.9 million, higher than the 65-day average of 32.1 million. Toyota was in the headline. The filing focused on timing.
Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN) gains as Russell growth index inclusion hits R2 ramp milestone

Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN) gains as Russell growth index inclusion hits R2 ramp milestone

Rivian Automotive, Inc. jumped 7.55% to finish at $16.81 on Monday after S&P Capital IQ confirmed the EV maker is going into the Russell 3000E Growth Benchmark. The stock closed near where it traded when the R2 SUV started shipping to customers earlier this month. But Monday’s move was more about index flows and a bounce in EV names than just Rivian itself, traders said. The stock moved 38.73 million shares, above its 32.32 million average, about 1.2 times the norm. Volume was strong but didn’t spike for a name up more than 7%. Tesla Inc. rose 8.46% and Lucid Group, Inc. jumped 9.97%, leaving Rivian trailing the main EV beta names.
Maruti Suzuki puts battery recycling with MiniMines in EV cost mix, AI stays in play

Maruti Suzuki puts battery recycling with MiniMines in EV cost mix, AI stays in play

Maruti Suzuki India picked five startups on Monday – four focused on AI and digital processes, and one in battery recycling. MiniMines, based in Bengaluru, will handle recycling old lithium-ion batteries and recover precious materials. The other four – Easework AI, Sarvam AI, Siftly, and CodeMate AI – will work on areas like procurement, customer support, marketing, and software. Hisashi Takeuchi, Maruti’s MD and CEO, said MiniMines will “support us in safely recycling end-of-life batteries”, while the other four startups will help “drive efficiency” in different business operations. All five companies came through the fifth round of the Maruti Suzuki Incubation Program with IIM Bangalore’s NSRCEL.
Lucid’s cost cuts and promo deadlines shift focus to LCID’s next delivery numbers

Lucid’s cost cuts and promo deadlines shift focus to LCID’s next delivery numbers

Lucid Group, Inc. heads into Monday with investors focused on two things: the updated cost-cutting plan now stacks up versus the equity market cap, and the company is up against a June 30 deadline for its latest sales push. The stock last traded at $5.92, up 82 cents from its previous close, and the company’s market cap stands at about $1.94 billion. Tesla Inc. changed hands at $379.71, while Rivian Automotive Inc. was at $15.63. That leaves Lucid with the thinnest equity buffer of the three U.S.-listed EV companies mentioned.
Tesla slips again heading into delivery mix test; TSLA energy gap now wider

Tesla slips again heading into delivery mix test; TSLA energy gap now wider

Nasdaq trades Monday to Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET. Tesla’s latest price is from Friday’s session. U.S. markets will skip a day next week for the July 3 holiday. The next hurdle for Tesla is more than just hitting 400,000 deliveries in Q2. The question is whether the market keeps Tesla’s $1.43 trillion valuation when Street forecasts see 2026 vehicle numbers barely above 2025 but energy storage volumes rising faster. Barron’s puts Tesla’s market cap at $1.43 trillion with a trailing P/E of 346.89.
Lucid (NASDAQ:LCID) jumps, adding about $312 million after $158 million cost plan

Lucid (NASDAQ:LCID) jumps, adding about $312 million after $158 million cost plan

Lucid Group, Inc. ended the holiday-shortened week with a price swing bigger than its announced cost savings plan. The EV maker finished Friday at $5.92, a jump of $0.80, or 15.63%. On Monday, shares had dropped 3.73% after another restructuring announcement. Measured from the June 18 close, right before the Juneteenth break, the stock is up 10.4% through Friday. Daily closes tracked the move: $5.16 Monday, $5.19 Tuesday, $5.15 Wednesday, $5.12 Thursday, finally $5.92 Friday.
Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) gains even as $158 million in cuts can’t close loss gap

Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) gains even as $158 million in cuts can’t close loss gap

Lucid Group, Inc. was up 6.5% at $5.455 as of 12:46 p.m. EDT Friday. The stock bounced off a low of $5.07 earlier and stayed just under its $5.55 high for the session. Around 8.06 million shares had traded by midday. Lucid pulled ahead of Tesla Inc., which rose 2.6%, and Rivian Automotive Inc., up 4.0%. The Nasdaq Composite was still tracking for a down week as tech shares stayed under pressure.
Polestar stock surges up to 36% as $400 mln funding close nears — PSNY back in play

Polestar (NASDAQ:PSNY) U.S. ban turns attention to Europe, cash, and 790 vehicles

Polestar Automotive Holding UK PLC is set to halt new U.S. sales from model year 2027. The U.S. Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security turned down Polestar’s request for authorization under new connected-vehicle rules targeting China-linked tech. The Swedish EV company said it will continue to offer current Polestar 3 and Polestar 4 inventory in the U.S., and customers can still access service. Size is the key issue for investors. Reuters put U.S. sales at just 6% of Polestar’s first-quarter total, with Europe at 78%. Out of 13,126 units sold retail, about 790 went to the U.S., roughly 10,200 to Europe. The ban targets a future market, not where Polestar sells most cars now.
NIO stock stays at $5 with eyes on June delivery numbers

NIO stock stays at $5 with eyes on June delivery numbers

NIO Inc traded a touch above $5 in U.S. hours on Tuesday. The stock barely moved, but traders are looking past the day-to-day tick, weighing the company against a June delivery bar that went higher after NIO put up strong May numbers. The stock finished the session at $5.09, up 4 cents, or 0.79%. It opened at $4.88, dipped to $4.87, then hit $5.18 before pulling back to settle about 4.5% above the low. Volume was 34.3 million shares, trailing the 65-day average of 37.73 million, so the bounce didn’t come on strong buying.
Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) shares fall after U.S. crash probe and hit to Europe sales

Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) shares fall after U.S. crash probe and hit to Europe sales

Tesla shares fell around 5% by midday Tuesday. A new U.S. safety probe and a slide in big tech stocks cut into the positive impact from the company’s rebound in European sales. Shares opened at $392.15, then traded at $384.63, after hitting an intraday low of $382.10. Tesla’s price-to-earnings ratio stood at about 353, using trailing earnings. Tesla’s delivery numbers are due in less than two weeks, so this matters to investors. Deliveries—cars that go to customers—will be the next clear check on whether demand is rebounding fast enough to keep up the stock’s high valuation.
QuantumScape shares surge after Honda battery deal, next up is scale test

QuantumScape shares surge after Honda battery deal, next up is scale test

QuantumScape Corp. opened the new week with shares reflecting Thursday’s big Honda boost, a move that came right before the Juneteenth holiday and weekend. The stock ended June 18 at $8.04, up from $7.09 on Friday, after dropping early in the week before turning higher. QuantumScape shares moved after the company announced a joint research deal with Honda R&D aimed at working on its solid-state lithium-metal battery technology and related manufacturing. Honda R&D’s Atsushi Ogawa said the platform had “compelling and unique advantages.” QuantumScape CEO Siva Sivaram described Honda’s review as “one of the most rigorous assessments” yet for the technology.
Tesla stock on hold for Juneteenth with AI spending, Europe FSD in focus

Tesla stock on hold for Juneteenth with AI spending, Europe FSD in focus

Tesla shares went into Friday’s Juneteenth market holiday as investors weighed optimism about AI against new regulatory headwinds in Europe tied to self-driving tech. U.S. equity and options trading is closed June 19 for Juneteenth, according to Nasdaq’s holiday calendar, so the last official price is from Thursday’s close. The stock settled at $400.49 Thursday, up $4.11, or 1.04%. Shares moved between $384.70 and $402.52 in the session. For the holiday-shortened week, the stock lost about 1.5% from last Friday’s $406.43 finish. Thursday’s bump missed the Nasdaq Composite’s 1.91% jump and lined up with the S&P 500’s 1.08% gain.
QuantumScape surges 16.5% after Honda battery deal in short U.S. week

QuantumScape surges 16.5% after Honda battery deal in short U.S. week

QuantumScape shares surged 16.52% to $8.04 on Thursday after the company announced an R&D deal with Honda, handing the solid-state battery firm its first obvious catalyst in months during the holiday-shortened trading week. Markets are shut Friday for Juneteenth, so investors will have to wait for Monday to see where the stock trades next. Honda made its call after it finished looking at QuantumScape’s tech, not just after showing interest. QuantumScape said the joint project with Honda is a multi-year push on solid-state batteries and manufacturing techniques.
QuantumScape Stock Ends Volatile Week Down; Bulls Still Looking for Key Catalyst

QuantumScape stock rises after Honda solid-state battery research deal

QuantumScape shares climbed on Thursday after the battery developer said Honda R&D would join it in a multi-year research program to advance solid-state battery technology, a fresh automaker tie-up for a company still trying to move from promising cells to commercial production. The stock was recently up $0.39 at $7.29, or about 5.7%, after touching $8.49 earlier in the session. The company’s market value stood at about $4.44 billion.
Tesla stock dips as delivery hopes run into full self-driving test

Tesla stock dips as delivery hopes run into full self-driving test

Tesla shares dropped in midday Wednesday trading, with little reaction to Goldman Sachs raising its delivery forecast or a fresh charging partnership announced in Argentina. The stock slipped 0.5% to $402.75, trading between $397.68 and $404.98 so far today. The drop followed a choppy start for Wall Street ahead of the Federal Reserve’s rate call, with the Nasdaq Composite holding near the flat line late morning.
NIO Shares Fall After China EV Demand Signal

NIO Shares Fall After China EV Demand Signal

NIO Inc. shares slid Tuesday, leaving the Chinese EV ADR under pressure. The stock last traded near $5.04, off $0.165 from Monday, with more than 24 million shares crossing and the company valued around $10.5 billion. The action followed new reports from China as NIO CEO William Li told the China Auto Chongqing Forum that auto retail sales in China could fall 15% to 20% in 2026. The stock isn’t under pressure just because of one soft NIO delivery report. The worry is what a shrinking market might do to pricing, margins, and how investors see the story. China’s passenger-car sales dropped 22.3% in May to 1.53 million, falling for the eighth month in a row, CPCA data via Reuters showed. That kind of backdrop makes it tougher even for a strong EV player to keep up momentum. More discounts, spending on marketing, or just slower orders—they all hit gross margin, the slice of revenue after direct manufacturing costs.
Rivian Stock Surges as R2 Launch Puts RIVN Turnaround on the Line

Rivian Stock Surges as R2 Launch Puts RIVN Turnaround on the Line

Rivian Automotive stock ended the week with a sharp rebound, closing at $16.76 on Friday, up 7.85%, with intraday trading between $15.44 and $16.785 and volume of about 31.9 million shares. The move came after a busy launch week for Rivian’s new R2 SUV, the vehicle investors are watching most closely because it is designed to move the company beyond its higher-priced R1 lineup and into a broader electric-SUV market. The near-term story is simple but high stakes: Rivian has begun public customer deliveries of the R2, and the first version being delivered is the R2 Performance with Launch Package, starting at $57,990, according to Rivian’s own launch update. Rivian said deliveries, order invitations and demo drives began June 9, while Business Insider reported Friday that only the Performance version is being delivered now, with the $53,990 Premium expected later this year and the $44,990 Standard version starting in 2027.
Archer Aviation Stock Falls After ARK Sale as ACHR Bulls Face Fresh eVTOL Test

Archer Aviation Stock Falls After ARK Sale as ACHR Bulls Face Fresh eVTOL Test

Archer Aviation shares are back under pressure after a one-day rebound, with investors reacting to a large ARK Invest sale and fresh evidence that the electric air-taxi race is still moving around the company. ACHR fell 7.16% to $5.32 on Tuesday after closing at $5.73 Monday; by early Wednesday, shares were indicated at $5.19 in premarket trading. The immediate catalyst was not a new earnings report from Archer. It was portfolio flow. ARK sold 2,222,392 Archer shares on Monday across ARKK, ARKQ and ARKX, worth about $12.72 million based on Archer’s Monday close, according to Investor’s Business Daily. ARK’s own trade-notification page says those files are informational, unofficial and not a recommendation to buy or sell, but that distinction rarely stops traders from reading a high-profile sale as a sentiment signal.
Tesla Stock Bounces Over $400 After China Sales Beat—But There’s a Caveat

Tesla Stock Bounces Over $400 After China Sales Beat—But There’s a Caveat

Tesla shares rallied Monday afternoon, up more than 5% as the stock crossed back over $400. The gain came as buyers moved back into growth names and a new China sales report helped cool worries about demand. Recently, Tesla traded at $411.66, up $20.66, after hitting an intraday high of $412.84. The timing was key. Nasdaq-listed stocks were active in the regular session, which runs from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET. For 2026, June 8 isn’t included on Nasdaq’s holiday schedule.
