Rivian Stock Popped 15% Thursday, but There Could Be Room to Run

Rivian received a stock price boost and analyst upgrade to 'buy' with a $25 price target (up from $14) as the company prepares to launch its R2 vehicle in 2026. However, the EV market faces headwinds from the Trump administration's reduced EV support, tariffs, and elimination of the $7,500 federal tax credit. While Rivian has made progress on cost reduction and margins, the company continues to burn cash and faces intense competition in a struggling EV market.

Insights
RIVN   neutral

Mixed outlook: positive near-term catalyst with R2 launch and analyst upgrade to $25 target, but significant headwinds from policy changes, ongoing cash burn, lack of profitability, and weak EV market demand. Article suggests watching from sidelines rather than investing.
