Rivian: third quarter driven by the R2

Rivian published a third quarter above expectations, with revenue up 38% and deliveries up 46%, driven by the R2 which has become its best-selling model, but the automaker remains loss-making due to launch costs. The R2, sold more than the R1S and R1T combined, is presented as decisive for Rivian's profitability, which has raised its 2026 delivery forecasts and says it is sticking to its schedule, while Amazon continues its electric utility vehicle orders. Analysts are divided: a price target has been lowered, but UBS has raised its recommendation, judging the 19% drop in the stock as an opportunity before the R2 ramps up production. The provided sub-events come from the United States; South Korean press also covers the file, without additional national detail in the available elements.
