Earnings Calendar (04Nov24) - is Rivian on track to be an EV powerhouse?
Earnings Calendar (04Nov24)
Some notable earnings in the coming week are Palantir, Coupang, ARM, Rivian and Berkshire.
Let us look at Rivian - the touted competitor to Tesla.
From investing dot com, the technical analysis recommends a “Strong Sell” with the stock price falling over 42% from a year ago.
However, Analysts Sentiments recommend a “Buy” with a price target of $16.42 (an upside of over 61%).
Observations about Rivian:
-
The company started to collect revenue from 20/21 and ended 2023 with $4.4 billion.
-
The operating losses grew from $409 million in 2019 to over $5.7 billion in 2023.
-
Even though there is a drop in the earnings per share (EPS), the losses incurred have been falling since 2022.
-
After five years, the business remained unprofitable. Based on current trends, it could take years before breaking even.
From the recent news, Rivian seems to be struggling with internal processes and safety incidents.
For the coming earnings, the forecast EPS and Revenue are -0.9535 and $1.01B respectively.
Rivian would require time to break even. If there is a healthy trend of increasing sales and moving closer to breakeven, Rivian can be a strong contender to challenge in the space of EV. For now, I prefer to be a spectator and not an investor in this company.
