Rivian could win the $1B Powerball with no impact to its stock price. What will it take?

I've owned Rivian stock since its IPO. And just before many of their earnings release, a series of good announcements come out (e.g., new accolade, new partnership, feature release, expansion plans, efficiency progress, funding, community outreach, etc.) which have very little or no positive impact to their stock price.

This quarter is no exception. Can it get better than this?

  • Rivian says other automakers 'knocking on door' about tech from VW joint venture
  • Will launch hands-free driving system in 2025, 'eyes-off' in 2026
  • Will launch the EDV outside of Amazon
  • DOE finalizes $6.57 Billion funding for Rivian
  • Exceeded production and delivery targets
  • Edmunds Top Rated Electric Truck 2025
  • 2025 Rivian R1S Is The Safest Large SUV Tested By The IIHS This Year

I'm beginning to believe the macro headwinds (e.g., new DC Administration, supply chain environment, consumer trends and EV preferences, potential indirect sabotage from the First Buddy) are so strong there is nothing Rivian can do to influence its stock price. If signals of profitability starting with positive gross margin next month do not have a positive impact, I'm not sure what will until the release of R2 in 2026 (sigh).
