Core Viewpoint - Rivian Automotive's stock has significantly declined since its IPO, raising questions about its investment potential as it prepares to launch its new R2 vehicles this year [1][2]. Company Performance - Rivian's share price has dropped approximately 92% from its all-time high of around $172 per share, currently trading at about $14.80 [2][5]. - The company has a market capitalization of $17 billion and has experienced a gross margin of -159.38% [5][6]. - In Q3 2023, Rivian reported a net loss of roughly $1.1 billion, with sales increasing 78% year over year to reach $1.56 billion [9]. Market Context - Rivian went public during a favorable environment for speculative growth stocks, but market conditions have since changed, with rising interest rates and increased competition from lower-priced Chinese EV alternatives [4][6]. - The EV market is growing at a slower rate compared to 2021, and government subsidies that previously supported the industry have expired [6]. Production and Delivery Challenges - Rivian's production and delivery scaling has been slower than anticipated, with fewer vehicles delivered in 2025 compared to previous years, and quarterly deliveries have not exceeded 15,564 units [7]. - The company has been issuing new shares to fund operations, leading to dilution for existing shareholders [7][10]. Future Prospects - The launch of Rivian's R2 platform vehicles is expected to be a significant catalyst for the company, potentially increasing vehicle production and sales growth [8]. - Despite the anticipated benefits from the R2 launch, gross margins on vehicles sold remain negative, and the lower-cost R2 vehicles may not provide the margin improvement investors hope for in the near term [10][11].

There's not a new set of activities opening up simultaneously.It was quite a challenge for the United States. We didn't manage it particularly well. And I think it's actually in many ways more challenging now than it was 20 years ago because China has moved so far up the value chain.When the China shock hit the United States in 2000, China was not exporting ...
