Rivian Sacrificed Its 2027 Profit Target. Here's Why Investors Should Applaud.
The business of selling EVs will shift dramatically over the coming years.
Overview
For years, Rivian (NASDAQ: RIVN) marched closer and closer to profitability. Its progress on that front was impressive, given how difficult it is to scale a capital-intensive electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing business from scratch.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, Rivian posted positive gross margins for the first time in its history. Positive gross margins were generated in several subsequent quarters, leading many investors to believe that management's long-term guidance -- which called for positive adjusted EBITDA margins by 2027 -- would soon be realized.
Details
In March, however, Rivian's executive team quietly dropped the company's 2027 profit target. That might seem alarming, but the shift in priorities should ultimately set Rivian up for greater long-term success.
