Invest in RIVN Now While Price is Low?

Rivian stock is at $14 a share as of after hours on 6/6/25. Anyone think this is a good time to load up? Still gotta get to R2’s release in 2026, but it has to be uphill from there, right?

They’ve got Amazon money, they’ve got VW money, they might have government money coming in soon to start the Georgia plant. We’re talking billions of dollars. Surely they will make it to 2026. The R2 could be their Model Y moment.

What do you guys think?

Yes, invest in Rivian. The stock is a steal right now.

Long term I think it's a great investment.

I was thinking of waiting for it to drop a touch more. Even if you bought now, I think it's a decent investment.

I bought stock a few months ago at only a slightly higher price, and it seems to just hover around its current price for this year. Schwab rates the stock an ‘F’, meaning one should probably sell (as of 5/30/2025). But there are a few out there that rate this higher. Generally the trend seems to be neutral or lower, however. Plus Rivian is still not out of the woods as per profitability and competitors are increasing. So buying is still risky, and hopes for a significant increase probably more long term than short term. I bought approx. $10K worth and am prepared to hold it. But also, if I lose this money I can stomach it. I definitely would not go all in.

The stock has been around $14 for the past year so nothing special there. The rest of the year is going to be rough due to low deliveries of existing vehicles and the potential tariff/tax incentive issues. So you'd really have to bet on the R2 being an absolute home-run which is anyone's guess at this point.

I got in at 11.97, I thought It was a steal then and I still think it's a steal now (for those with long-term mindset)

I would not put new money on $RIVN now. Wait until you see the effect of the big beautiful bill settles out and what actually happens to the EV credit, and Rivian's 2nd and 3rd quarter performance. Rivian guided down last quarter for the year and the way things look, may continue to guide down further - certainly not up and provide any real catalyst.

There is a plenty of time between now and mid 2026 when R2 production starts and potentially starts limited deliveries.

I believe there is no rush to get in and is a dead money for at least another 6 months - maybe 9 months.

I am underwater and have not intentionally averaged down because there are better opportunities out there.

The stock is a bouncer between 11 and 14.

I would not count on any improvement in the EV tax credits in the House version of the so-called Big Beautiful Bill. As the bill is currently written Rivian will still qualify for EV credits in 2026 which will coincide with the introduction of the R2. That’s a big win for Rivian albeit a short-lived one. As far as buying Rivian stock I’ve jumped in big time but fortunately it’s an investment that I can manage if things don’t go well. I’ve always been advised to invest with my mind not my heart. In this case I have done both. I have owned a Rivian R1T since March of 2022 and I still get excited to get behind the wheel something that I have not experienced in any other car I have driven and I have owned dozens of them. So my heart tells me a vehicle this well made that gets better ever time I get an update will surely do well over time. My mind tells me with the introduction of the R2 Rivian‘s stock has the potential to do very well next year and beyond. The short term issues that Rivian is faced with are both a product of the current administration‘s dislike of anything that doesn’t directly burn fossil fuels and a current product lineup that is too expensive for the average American. This short term dislike of EVs will change when we get a new administration, one that actually cares about climate change, and when the product lineup is expanded next year.

I love your optimism. A lot of us are still dollar-cost-averaging from buying during the over-inflated IPO. I'm happy to invest in this company, love my vehicle, love seeing them on the road / meeting other owners, and believe in their mission/vision. I throw in a couple hundred bucks for stock every few weeks. Wish I'd bought more shares back when it was $8.

But the next 3.5 years are gonna be real rough. Even with the VW money. I fully expect the current administration will neuter the federal tax credit (as well as tax credits for any "green" energy programs or home improvements, like solar panels or more efficient windows), and claw back that loan for the Georgia plant. Even if it means that land becoming another worthless strip of car washes, fast food, and Dollar Generals, instead of a high tech manufacturing hub.

And I am absolutely prepared to protest this BS at any opportunity, but mine is just one voice crying in the wilderness.

Also, what I left out of my earlier post was that part of my rationale in buying, even with all the risk, was the avid fanbase for Rivian and published surveys showing those with Rivians had the highest level of satisfaction. This spoke to me that Rivian probably has a sales floor that will keep it afloat through the tough times. I know that is not necessarily rooted in solid analysis, but at least it has a logic to it.

When I bought my model 3 in 2019, I also bought TSLA stock. It had been wallowing around $14.00 for years. I bought the stock because I believed in the car and the company.

In 2024 when Elon went bonkers I traded my Tesla in for my R1T and sold my Tesla stock at an 800% profit and reinvested it in RIVN. If you believe in the car/company, you should believe in the stock. At no time did I consider “timing” when purchasing.

TSLA was languishing at $14.00 in 2019, RIVN is around $14.00 now. To me it’s a no-brainer.

BTW. I'm thinking 5 or 10 yrs... I have time

I've been investing in RIVN for the past 2.5 years, dollar cost averaging as I go. I, too, think that now is a great time. Sure, you can try to time it, but dollar cost averaging will almost always work out better. I plunked a large sum into it when I first bought and wish I dollar cost averaged that as it went down 40% over the next 6 months. I still dollar cost averaged through that period, but wish I followed that advice at the outset. All the same, it's fine now and I've still made money off of my investment thanks to dollar cost averaging.

Agree with those who say that if you have a deep conviction for the company and their product then it makes sense to invest. That conviction will get you through the volatility, which is a feature of growth stocks.
