Rivian Automotive Inc. shares tumbled after the automaker cut its annual production target, citing a worsening supply crunch at its lone US assembly plant.
The company now expects production to drop as much as 18% this year, due to an ongoing shortage of a component used to make its electric pickups, sport utility vehicles and commercial vans. Third quarter output and deliveries both came up short of analysts estimates.
