Fisker stock gains as EV maker makes initial 22 deliveries of its Fisker Ocean SUV

Shares of Fisker Inc. gained 0.2% in premarket trading Friday, to buck the selloff in the broader stock market, after the electric vehicle maker said it will start making the first deliveries of the Fisker Ocean sport-utility vehicle (SUV) to U.S. customers. The initial 22 deliveries on Friday will mark a near three-year journey for the EV maker, as development of the Fisker Ocean began in October 2020. "As a California-based company, we are thrilled that our first US customers are finally getting behind the wheel of the Fisker Ocean and will experience its innovative features, class-leading 360-mile range, and highest levels of sustainability," said Chief Executive Officer Henrik Fisker. The stock's gain comes while futures for the S&P 500 fell 0.5%.
