Rivian Shares Slide as Q2 Earnings Disappoint and 2025 Loss Forecast Deepens
Rivian (NASDAQ: RIVN) saw its stock fall over 4% in after-hours trading after posting disappointing Q2 2025 results and widening its full-year loss forecast. The electric truck manufacturer reported a net loss of $1.1 billion, or $0.80 per share, missing analyst expectations. While revenue reached $1.30 billion—slightly above projections—vehicle deliveries declined 23% year-on-year to 10,661 units.
The company also slashed its 2025 outlook, now anticipating a larger full-year loss of $2.25 billion. This downward revision comes amid growing external pressures, including new EV tax credit restrictions under Donald Trump’s administration, increased tariffs, and reduced regulatory credit income. These policy changes are beginning to strain Rivian's margins and long-term planning.
Despite the challenges, Rivian continues to make progress on its upcoming R2 SUV, a more affordable model expected to expand its consumer base. However, the combination of macroeconomic headwinds and missed operational targets has dampened investor confidence, with the stock currently trading around $12.15.
Analysts warn that unless Rivian can improve its delivery numbers and navigate the shifting policy environment, its path to profitability may become increasingly elusive.
