Rivian (
RIVN): Strategic Risks
1. Delivery & Sales Performance
Annual Decline: Rivian delivered 42,247 vehicles in 2025, an 18% decrease compared to 51,579 units in 2024.
Q4 Underperformance: Deliveries fell 31% YoY (9,745 units), missing the consensus expectation of 10,100 units.
Guidance: The company narrowed its annual forecast to 41.5k–43.5k units. Currently, growth is limited by market demand rather than production capacity.
2. Market Challenges & Competition
Tax Credit Expiration: The end of the $7,500 federal EV tax credit is negatively impacting sales.
Intense Competition: In 2026, the R2 platform enters a saturated market against the updated Tesla Model Y, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, and Chevrolet Equinox EV.
Pricing Wars: Ford (F-150 Lightning) and GM (Silverado EV) are using their scale to aggressively cut prices.
Global Expansion: Chinese manufacturers (BYD, Zeekr) are expanding into Western markets; Rivian lacks the margins to compete in a price war.
