Goldman Sachs analyst Mark Delaney has maintained their neutral stance on RIVN stock, giving a Hold rating yesterday.
Mark Delaney’s rating is based on a nuanced analysis of Rivian Automotive’s financials and market position. Delaney acknowledges that Rivian has made commendable headway in reducing costs, evidenced by its 4Q revenue and adjusted EBITDA, which outperformed market expectations. Furthermore, the company’s reiterated commitment to a production target of 57,000 vehicles, coupled with a reduction in capital expenditure forecasts, indicates a strategic pivot towards financial prudence. The management’s expectation to achieve positive gross profit in the fourth quarter is a noteworthy development that may influence investor sentiment positively.
However, despite these encouraging signs, Delaney maintains a Hold rating, reflecting a cautiously optimistic outlook. He highlights the intensifying competition within the electric vehicle (EV) sector as a factor that could impede Rivian’s profit and free cash flow growth. Delaney also points to the sustainability of Rivian’s demand without significant price reductions as an area for further discussion. The company’s ability to maintain the momentum in consumer interest, as demonstrated by a substantial quarter-over-quarter increase in demo drives, amidst an expanding leasing program and new vehicle unveilings, remains to be thoroughly vetted. These considerations form the core rationale behind Delaney’s Hold rating for Rivian Automotive’s stock.
According to TipRanks, Delaney is a 5-star analyst with an average return of 18.8% and a 59.86% success rate. Delaney covers the Consumer Cyclical sector, focusing on stocks such as Tesla, Rivian Automotive, and Ford Motor.
In another report released yesterday, Truist Financial also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $10.00 price target.
