Rivian Widens 2025 Loss Projection Amid Policy Headwinds
Rivian delivered mixed Q2 results, missing profitability targets as regulatory changes and lost EV tax credits weighed on performance. The electric vehicle Maker now projects 2025 adjusted EBITDA losses of $2.0-$2.25 billion, up from previous estimates of $1.7-$1.9 billion.
Policy impacts include the phase-out of federal EV tax credits and 25% tariffs on auto imports. Rivian's stock dropped 5% post-announcement despite beating revenue estimates with $1.303 billion in Q2 sales.
The company failed to achieve gross profitability for the quarter, marking a reversal from prior quarters. Market analysts note these developments highlight the challenges facing capital-intensive EV manufacturers in the current regulatory environment.
