Rivian Automotive, Inc. Class A Common Stock (RIVN)
Rivian: Improving Setup
Rivian beat Q1 2025 EPS and revenue estimates by good margins last week. Despite weak Q1 deliveries and a downgraded FY 2025 outlook, Rivian's gross margins improved, supporting my hold rating. Rivian's unit economics continued to improve, and the EV firm reported its second consecutive quarter of positive gross profits.
Analyst Worries This Auto Stock Isn't Sustainable
Shares of Rivian Automotive Inc (NASDAQ:RIVN) are 2.9% lower to trade at $14.45, on track to snap a four-day win streak after a bear note from Jefferies.
Rivian Automotive: High Margin Of Safety EV Stock
Rivian lowered its 2025 delivery forecast to 40,000–46,000 vehicles, reflecting slowing production and demand, with Q1 deliveries down 39% QoQ and 36% YoY. Despite delivery headwinds, Rivian posted its second consecutive quarter of positive gross profit, with a 17% gross margin and $14,100 profit per vehicle, driven by significant cost reductions. Rivian maintains a strong cash position of $7.2 billion, representing 44% of its market valuation, which offers a meaningful downside cushion for investors despite ongoing free cash flow losses.

Rivian Has A Demand Problem
Rivian's Q1 2025 revenue beat estimates, but automotive sales dropped significantly, and the company cut 2025 delivery guidance. Gross margins improved significantly, but were helped quite a bit by regulatory credit revenues and the Volkswagen deal. Rivian's balance sheet has been bolstered by the VW partnership, but ongoing dilution and a weak demand outlook could weigh on shares.
Rivian: Near-Term Deliveries Cut Has No Bearing On R2's Future
Shares of Rivian slid after the company cut its FY25 deliveries outlook to 40-46k (-22% y/y to -11% y/y), from a prior view of 46-51k. In spite of a y/y decline in unit deliveries, Rivian delivered big beats on revenue, suggesting a rich expansion of ASP into higher-priced models. I view the company's unit declines as normal cyclicality ahead of the company's very consequential $45,000 R2 launch next year.
Rivian's Liberation Day Is Already Here - Execution Remains Promising
Despite the intensified tariff war and the massive profitability impacts reported by its peers, RIVN has continued to reiterate their FY2025 bottom-line guidance. Much of its outperformance may be attributed to the prudent stockpiling in batteries and inventories since 2024, as they also source their future supply chains from Korea and the US. This is aided by the rich balance sheet and investments by VWAGY, allowing RIVN to weather the near-term uncertainties and the higher capex in FY2025.
