Rivian Automotive (RIVN -4.65%) reported full-year 2024 earnings in late February. Despite some operational issues during the year, it ended the fourth quarter on a positive note in one very important way.
Rivian's U.S. manufacturing limits its exposure to the 25% tariffs. That said, I expect some margin pressures from imported components sourced through Tier 2 and Tier 3 suppliers. I expect a strong upside from the software segment, which could deliver $1B in revenue (at a 30% gross margin) this year alone. Risks include regulatory risks, especially if the $7,500 EV credit and regulatory credits are eliminated, which could cut into 2025 revenue.
