Rivian: strong R2 growth in the third quarter, profitability still awaited

Rivian reported quarterly revenue up 38% year-on-year, beating expectations, with deliveries increasing by 46%, driven by the R2 becoming its best-selling model. The manufacturer remains unprofitable due to launch costs, with the R2 presented as decisive for its profitability. Rivian raised its 2026 delivery forecasts, and its CEO assured adherence to the schedule, while analysts are divided, with UBS upgrading its recommendation while others lowered their price targets. The available sub-events are all US-focused; South Korean press also covers the story, without detailed national differences in the provided elements.
