Rivian Stock Puts Pedal To Floor As Analyst Compares EV Brand Power To Tesla
Guggenheim initiated coverage on Rivian Automotive Inc (NASDAQ:RIVN) with a Buy rating Tuesday as the firm expects the electric vehicle company to emerge from the EV winter as a market leader.
週二，古根海姆公司發佈報告，對瑞麒汽車股票（NASDAQ：RIVN）進行了覆蓋並給出買入評級，因爲該公司預計這家電動汽車公司將在電動汽車的冬季中崛起併成爲市場領導者。
What To Know: Guggenheim analyst Ronald Jewsikow slapped a Buy rating on Rivian shares and set a price target of $18, as he saw an opportunity ahead for the company to grow its market share by appealing to younger, digitally oriented consumers.
值得關注的是，古根海姆分析師羅納德·奧夫洛夫斯基（Ronald Jewsikow）給瑞麒股票打出買入的評級，並設定了18美元的目標價，因爲他認爲該公司有機會通過吸引年輕人和數字化消費者來增長市場份額。
The Guggenheim analyst highlighted a compelling catalyst path around a few main theses that support his optimism about the manufacturer.
古根海姆分析師強調了幾個主要的論點，支持他對瑞麒汽車公司的樂觀情緒，認爲它們將成爲引人注目的催化劑。
First, Jewsikow sees an inflection point ahead in terms of financials. The analyst believes now is the time to put some money to work in Rivian stock, citing historical alpha generation related to buying before a company reaches breakeven EBITDA. Jewsikow anticipates a positive inflection point in EBITDA in mid-2026 and expects Rivian to reach breakeven gross margin in the fourth quarter of this year.
首先，奧夫洛夫斯基認爲財務方面的拐點即將到來。分析師認爲，現在是在瑞麒股票中投入一些資金的時候了，稱與企業達到盈虧平衡EBITDA前購買股票有關的歷史Alpha產生將是現在的最佳時機。奧夫洛夫斯基預計，EBITDA將在2026年中期出現積極的拐點，並期望瑞麒股票在今年第四季度達到盈虧平衡的毛利率。
"R1 breakeven is important because it should help investors gain confidence in the cost bridge required to R2/R3 profit," Jewsikow said in a new note to clients.
“R1盈虧平衡是很重要的，因爲它應該有助於投資者對達到R2/R3利潤所需的成本橋樑產生信懇智能，”奧夫洛夫斯基在致客戶的新備忘錄中寫道。
The analyst believes a recent reduction in cash burn will help to alleviate some investor concerns related to the ramp to the R2 and R3 platforms. He also noted that he sees upside to some of the company's guidance, which could help drive further upside in the stock.
另外，分析師認爲，最近現金流的減少將有助於緩解一些投資者對R2和R3平台的擔憂。他還指出，他看到了公司一些指導方針的上漲空間，這可能有助於推動股票進一步上漲。
It's really all about the R2 and R3 EV models for Jewsikow. The Guggenheim analyst highlighted the upcoming platforms as the largest source of value in the firm's sum of the parts valuation model.
對於奧夫洛夫斯基而言，R2和R3 EV車型才是重點。古根海姆分析師在公司的資產淨值估值模型中強調了即將推出的平台作爲價值的最大來源。
"We look at the economics of the R2/R3 at scale and believe a high-teens gross margin is the base case. Our analysis of small and mid-size SUVs by brand suggests the market is 7-10x larger than the R1, but could be even larger using the Tesla Model Y (vs. Model X) as an example," Jewsikow said.
“我們查看了各個品牌中小型和中型SUV的經濟情況，認爲高青少年毛利率是基本情況。例如，我們對特斯拉Model Y（而不是Model X）的研究表明，市場規模是R1的7-10倍，但實際上可能更大，”奧夫洛夫斯基說。
The analyst noted that Rivian owners consistently expressed high levels of customer satisfaction and suggested the Rivian brand is resonating in a way with consumers that no other brand has since Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA).
分析師指出，瑞麒汽車車主始終表達出高度的客戶滿意度，並暗示瑞麒品牌以一種特有的方式得到了消費者的認可，而這種方式是自特斯拉公司（NASDAQ：TSLA）以來沒有其他品牌做到的。
"While EV sentiment remains negative, we believe RIVN is uniquely positioned to demonstrate to a growing share of younger, digitally oriented consumers that EVs are not only cleaner and greener, but can deliver a superior product compared to ICE vehicles enabled by software, technology and thoughtful design elements," Jewsikow said.
“儘管電動汽車的情緒仍然是消極的，我們相信RIVN在向越來越多的年輕、數字化的消費者展示，電動汽車不僅更清潔、更環保，而且在軟件、技術和其他設計元素的支持下，可以提供優於傳統燃油汽車的產品，”奧夫洛夫斯基說。
