Rivian Automotive (RIVN) just went public a week ago, and since then, the stock has been up every day until today. As I write this, the market cap for the company is $130 billion. That’s “billion” with a B.

This California-based company was founded in 2009 and is in the business of developing electric vehicles.

For the trailing twelve months, net income has been a negative $1,635,000,000.

Revenues for the company have been zero.

Yesterday, the market cap for the company was $151.9 Billion.

That market cap is larger than all of the following automobile manufacturers:

• Ford (F)
• General Motors (GM)
• Honda Motor (HMC)
• Nissan Motor (NSANY)
• Daimler (DDAIF)
• BMW Bayerische Motoren Werke (BMWYY)
• Volkswagen (VWAGY)
• Porsche Automobil (POAHY)

I wonder if Ford stopped making cars if it would increase the market cap of the company.
