Rivian faces slow start in 2025, with drop in deliveries, but optimistic outlook for future

Rivian Automotive faces a slow start in 2025, with no major catalysts until the launch of the R2 model in 2026, leading to a drop in stock after exceeding first-quarter delivery estimates. Delivering 8,640 vehicles in Q1, Rivian experienced a 36% drop from the prior year, potentially due to soft demand and supply chain disruptions. Factors impacting deliveries include consumer preference for cheaper models, California fires affecting demand, and anticipated cost increases from tariffs. Despite challenges, Rivian expects to deliver 46,000-51,000 vehicles in 2025, with the R2 model set to boost deliveries next year. Investors should manage growth expectations but remain cautiously optimistic about Rivian’s future.
