The Federal Reserve's unexpected decision Wednesday tocut interest rates by 50 basis points at its September Federal open Market Committee(FOMC) meeting saw markets Rivian stock and broader markets gain sharply Thursday.

This policy shift has major implications for Rivian, a leading electric vehicle(EV) manufacturer, and its investors, who have reasons to be more optimistic about thecompany's financial outlook and growth potential.

Rivian, despite its potential and strong brand in the EV market, remains in itsgrowth phase and has yet to turn a profit. While the Fed's rate cut reduces borrowing costs.investors likely reassessed the company's significant cash burn and longer path toprofitability.

Even with lower interest rates, Rivian still faces steep capital expenditures related tomanufacturing expansion, supply chain improvements and R&D, particularly in thecompetitive EV space.

The Federal Reserve's Summary of Economic Projections revealed upward revisions tounemployment rates through 2025, signaling potential economic softness ahead.

Investors may fear that slower economic growth could dampen consumer demand forhigher-priced luxury electric vehicles like Rivian's RiT truck and Ris SUV, creatingheadwinds for revenue growth despite favorable financing conditions.
