(Reuters) – Ford Motor (NYSE:) Co sold 7 million shares of electric carmaker Rivian Automotive Inc for about $188.2 million, or $26.88 apiece, the U.S. automaker said in a filing on Friday.
Ford now holds 86.9 million shares in the California-headquartered company.
Rivian is struggling in a competitive market, including competition from Ford’s F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck, while a supply chain crisis is limiting production at its plants.
The electric-car maker earlier slashed its planned 2022 production in half to 25,000 vehicles.
On Tuesday, Ford had sold about 8 million shares of Rivian worth $214 million.
Rivian shares closed at $26.70 on Friday.
