Key Points
GM has announced $16 billion in share repurchases since 2023.
GM recently returned its China business to profitability.
Investments in its brands helped generate lineup-wide product demand.
2025 has thrown its fair share of curve balls to automakers such as Detroit icon General Motors (NYSE: GM). For instance, the company has had to deal with tariffs on imported vehicles and automotive parts, as well as ever-changing trade policies from the Trump administration.
GM also now has to account for the removal of the federal $7,500 tax credit on electric vehicle (EV) purchases, which is expected to reduce EV profitability and buyer demand in the near term. General Motors is managing to navigate these headwinds, and it just recorded a better-than-expected third quarter. Given its success, this stock should be on investors' radar.
Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue »
Here are three reasons why.
1. GM is competitive in returning value to shareholders
General Motors is often compared to Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F), and rightfully so as the two have very comparable strategies and results. However, one narrative that tends to need adjusting is that Ford returns much more value to its shareholders. Investors likely think this because of Ford's lucrative dividend yields over 5% and it often dishes out an annual supplemental dividend. Ford should be lauded for its dividend.
However, investors often overlook just how much value GM returns to shareholders via share buybacks. In fact, GM has announced $16 billion in share buybacks since 2023 alone and significantly reduced its shares outstanding.
Another way to look at the value GM returns to shareholders is through total yield, which includes not only the dividend yield but includes the impact of share buybacks. While GM's dividend yield is a modest 0.9%, its total yield jumps to 14.93%. That compares favorably to Ford's 4.9% dividend yield and 6.6% total yield.
General Motors is returning massive value to shareholders, and it's time investors made a note of it.
2. GM is managing the troubles that all automakers are seeing in China
General Motors isn't alone in its China pain, as the country is embroiled in a brutal price war rooted deep in its electric vehicle (EV) industry. With the light-vehicle market increasingly moving toward electric, and with many competitive young EV domestic companies, foreign automakers struggled to maintain market share and profits.
This led to General Motors restructuring its entire China business in a move that cost the company more than $5 billion. Late in the fourth quarter of 2024, the automaker noted it would take a noncash charge of $2.7 billion for the restructuring and $2.6 billion to $2.9 billion to account for the decreased value of an equity stake in a 50-50 joint venture with China's SAIC Motor Corp.
The good news is that the restructuring is paying off. General Motors and its joint ventures in China delivered a 10% year-over-year sales increase during the third quarter, and it marked the third consecutive quarter of growth. General Motors has returned to profitability in China and, more importantly, expects to be profitable for the full year and going forward.
3. GM is seeing success across its vehicle lineup
What's really driving GM's current success is strong demand for its vehicles across the entire lineup. General Motors' third-quarter vehicle sales were up 8% compared to the prior year, and sales through the first three quarters were up a higher 10% to 2.2 million vehicles, the best pace in a decade.
GMC is on pace for its best year ever. Chevrolet Trax was the No. 1 in the small SUV segment during the third quarter, and Buick was the fastest-growing mainstream brand calendar year to date. Cadillac recorded its best third quarter and calendar year-to-date sales since 2013, and GM Envolve, the company's fleet business, reported a 20% increase in third-quarter sales thanks to demand for its OnStar Services.
The strength in GM's full product portfolio powered its results during the third quarter when the automaker reported operating profit of $3.1 billion on revenue of $48.6 billion, which easily topped analysts' estimates and enabled management to raise full-year guidance.
What it all means
General Motors is doing a lot of things right these days, and is a far better business and company than it was two decades ago. The market hasn't realized it yet and has yet to reward the company with a proper valuation -- it currently trades at a paltry 10 times price-to-earnings -- and that's partly why the company repurchased so much of its stock. GM is buying its shares, and it's probably time investors started considering the same.

3 Reasons to Buy this Way-too-Overlooked Top Stock

Investors seeking to establish meaningful stock positions in valuable companies may be considering American Airlines AAL and Ford Motor F after exceeding their Q3 expectations last Thursday.
Of course, the backdrop to why American Airlines and Ford stock could be enticing after their favorable Q3 results is that both are still trading under $15 a share.
With their “cheap” stock prices reflecting perceived discounts to other major airliners and automakers, let’s see which may be the better investment, or if they are presenting the remnants of a value trap.
American Airlines' Narrower Q3 Loss & Improved Outlook
Although rising fuel prices and labor costs have weighed on American Airlines' profitability, Q3 net income came in at a narrower-than-expected loss of $114 million or -$0.17 a share compared to expectations of -$0.27 per share.
Delivering on a projection that Q3 would mark a turnaround, American Airlines' operating income surged 70% year over year to $151 million. Furthermore, Q3 sales of $13.69 billion topped estimates of $13.62 billion and were pleasantly up from $13.64 billion in the comparative quarter.
American Airlines also raised its full-year guidance, reflecting confidence in a continued recovery, strong cost management, and stable travel demand despite industry and tariff-related headwinds. Notably, American Airlines now expects full-year adjusted EPS between $0.65-$0.95, which came in well above expectations of $0.33 per share. Additionally, American Airlines projects its full-year free cash flow will now exceed $1 billion.
Ford Motors’ Record Q3 Revenue but Lowered Guidance
Overcoming $700 million in tariff costs and a fire at a key supplier's (Novelis) aluminum plant, Ford went on to post record Q3 sales of $47.18 billion. Thanks to strong demand across its vehicle lineup, particularly in trucks and SUVs, including electrified models, Ford’s top line stretched over 9% from $43.06 billion a year ago and impressively surpassed estimates of $42.65 billion by 10%.
Ford’s EPS of $0.45 dipped from $0.49 in the prior year quarter, but this was attributed to a higher share count, as net income of $2.4 billion was up from $1.6 billion in Q3 2024. Plus, Ford comfortably exceeded Q3 EPS expectations of $0.38.
However, the recent disruption at the Novelis aluminum plant led to Ford lowering its full-year guidance amid reduced production of its high-margin trucks like the F-150. As a result, Ford cut its full-year adjusted EBIT guidance to $6-$6.5 billion from a previous range of $10-$10.5 billion. Ford also trimmed its free cash flow forecast from $6 billion to a range of $2-$3 billion.
Performance & Valuation Comparison
Ironically, American Airlines' stock is down over 20% in 2025, stemming from previous fears of a continued decline in its outlook. Meanwhile, Ford shares are still up over +30% YTD, driven by improved operational efficiencies and expanded margins.
Taking a longer view, Ford stock is sitting on gains of +70% in the last five years, which has topped American Airlines' +20% although both have lagged the benchmark S&P 500’s return of more than +100%.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
At current levels, American Airlines and Ford stock trade well under the preferred level of less than 2X forward sales, and have the robust top lines that echo their valuations are overlooked in this regard.
Ford’s 12X forward earnings multiple also stands out at a slight discount to its auto peers and is well below the benchmark’s 26X. American Airlines, on the other hand, trades at 41X forward earnings, an elevated premium to the broader market and its Zacks Transportation-Airline Industry average of 10X. Still, American Airlines’ raised EPS guidance should start to rectify its inflated P/E valuation.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Conclusion & Strategic Thoughts
Ford’s price performance has shown why it has been beneficial to add positions, especially on the dip, considering the automaker's valuation is still attractive. As for American Airlines, it could start to shake off the notion that AAL has had some remnants of a value trap in recent years.
Given their guidance, it wouldn’t be surprising if American Airlines’ stock starts to outperform going forward, and Ford shares begin to lose steam. That said, Ford is currently offering a generous 4.34% annual dividend yield to reward patient investors, while American Airlines doesn’t offer a payout.

Today's Featured Research Reports
Microsoft’s shares have outperformed the Zacks Computer - Software industry over the year-to-date period (+24.9% vs. +21.8%). The company capitalizes on AI business momentum and Copilot adoption alongside accelerating Azure cloud infrastructure expansion. Recently, MSFT introduced its first proprietary AI models, MAI-Voice-1 and MAI-1-preview.
Microsoft projects Azure growth of 37% for fiscal first-quarter 2026. Strong Office 365 Commercial demand has been propeling Productivity and Business Processes revenue growth. ARPU is increasing through E5 and M365 Copilot uptake across key segments. Strategic execution through expanding scale and enterprise customer growth is driving non-AI services.
Xbox revenues are benefiting from strength across third-party and first-party content offerings. The Zacks analyst expects fiscal 2026 net sales to grow 12.9% from fiscal 2025. However, elevated operating expenses and Azure investments amid intensifying cloud competition remain headwinds.
(You can read the full research report on Microsoft here >>>)
Shares of Alphabet have outperformed the Zacks Internet - Services industry over the year-to-date period (+37.7% vs. +37.1%). The company is benefiting from accelerated growth across AI infrastructure and Generative AI Solutions. Google Cloud’s annual revenue run rate is now more than $50 billion. GOOGL is advancing visual and contextual search capabilities.
The Circle to Search feature is now active on more than 300 million devices. AI Overviews reach more than 2 billion users per month and are available in above 200 countries across 40 languages. It is now driving above 10% more queries globally.
On the litigation front, per the latest ruling in the ongoing lawsuit between GOOGL and the DOJ, the former is now required to share Search data with rivals, but need not divest Chrome and Android, providing a much-needed relief. However, stiff competition in cloud computing has been concerning.
(You can read the full research report on Alphabet here >>>)
Berkshire Hathaway’s shares have outperformed the Zacks Insurance - Property and Casualty industry over the year-to-date period (+7.7% vs. +7.2%). The company is one of the largest property and casualty insurance companies with numerous diverse business activities. A strong cash position supports earnings-accretive bolt-on buyouts and is indicative of its financial flexibility.
Continued insurance business growth fuels an increase in float, drives earnings and generates maximum return on equity. The non-insurance businesses have also been doing well in the last few years. The insurer has also started increasing its investment in Japan. A sturdy capital level provides further impetus. Shares of Berkshire have outperformed the industry year to date.
However, exposure to cat losses induces earnings volatility and also affects underwriting results. Huge capital expenditure remains a headwind. Also, it remains to be seen how the behemoth fares when Greg Abel succeeds Warren Buffett as CEO of Berkshire.
(You can read the full research report on Berkshire Hathaway here >>>)
Shares of C&F Financial have outperformed the Zacks Banks - Southeast industry over the past year (+15.7% vs. +1.1%). This microcap company with market capitalization of $223.18 million offers strong earnings momentum and profitability, with Q2 2025 net income up 54% year over year to $7.8 million and ROE at 14.7%.
Loan growth remains disciplined at 10.3% annually, supported by geographic expansion and diversified credit exposure. Asset quality is sound, with minimal nonperforming loans (0.07%) and strong reserves (4.85% of loans). Capital strength (Tier 1 ratio 10%) and liquidity ($984 million) underpin dividend sustainability and valuation upside. Shares trade at 0.93X tangible book and 8X earnings.
However, rising charge-offs (2.42%) in consumer finance, high uninsured deposits (30%) and potential margin compression from rate normalization present near-term risks, alongside competition in auto lending and mortgage volatility.
(You can read the full research report on C&F Financial here >>>)
Syntec Optics’ shares have outperformed the Zacks Technology Services industry over the past year (+77.1% vs. +55.4%). This microcap company with a market capitalization of $104.48 million is strategically positioned in high-growth, high-barrier defense and aerospace markets, producing over 17,000 optics for LEO satellites and rocket fuel actuators.
Syntec Optics’ expertise in hyperspectral imaging supports advanced military surveillance, with capabilities in nanotech-enabled optics and coatings. Operating from a vertically integrated U.S. facility, Syntec offers agile, end-to-end manufacturing aligned with reshoring and national security priorities. It benefits from strong photonics sector tailwinds, including CHIPS Act incentives.
However, governance concerns loom with nine material internal control weaknesses, raising risks around financial reliability. Profitability declined in Q2 2025 amid margin pressure and reduced consumer sales, contributing to a net loss. Liquidity is tight, with high leverage, and end-market volatility. Despite a 80% one-year stock gain, valuation remains above industry peers.

Top Analyst Reports for Microsoft, Alphabet & Berkshire Hathaway

U.S. legacy automaker Ford F and electric vehicle biggie Tesla TSLA released third-quarter 2025 results last week. While Ford surpassed earnings estimates, Tesla missed the same despite record deliveries. Tesla’s operating income contracted 40% year over year in the last reported quarter amid higher year-over-year SG&A, R&D and restructuring expenses.
Tesla is betting high on autonomous vehicles (AVs) and robotaxis as its next growth frontier. On the latestearnings call CEO Elon Musk even said that the company plans to move closer to unsupervised autonomy, targeting the removal of safety drivers from robotaxis in much of Austin by year-end. Meanwhile, Ford’s hybrid strategy is likely to gain traction as EV adoption in the United States is set to slow down following the expiration of $7,500 federal EV tax credit incentive at the end of September. Additionally, Ford is taking steps to roll out new affordable EV offerings to match customers’ preferences.
Both auto giants are at pivotal junctures now. Over the past three months, shares of Tesla have gained 33%, while Ford has risen roughly 22%. Let’s compare their growth drivers and challenges to see which stock is currently placed better.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
The Case for Tesla
Tesla delivered 497,099 vehicles in the third quarter of 2025, up 7.4% year over year, and set a new quarterly record. However, this surge likely reflected a “pull forward” effect, as buyers rushed to take advantage of the expiring $7,500 federal EV tax credit. Other automakers, including Ford and General Motors, also logged record EV sales from this incentive-driven spike.
The quarter offered Tesla a temporary breather after sales volumes fell for the first two quarters of the year. Demand has been challenged by a maturing lineup, intensifying competition and reduced pricing power. While management highlighted strong operational momentum going forward without providing any specific delivery guidance, it also admitted that margins would remain under pressure from price cuts and higher costs.
One bright spot continues to be Tesla’s Energy Storage segment. The company posted record deployments across residential, industrial and utility markets, fueled by strong demand for its Megapack and Powerwall products. This division is now Tesla’s most profitable, with the highest margins among its businesses.
Another catalyst could be Tesla’s big pivot into artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous driving and robotics. Its robotaxi service, launched in Austin in June, has been expanded to California, Nevada and Arizona. With millions of vehicles already equipped with self-driving hardware, Tesla is positioned to scale quickly once regulations evolve. Musk plans to test robotaxis in 8-10 metro areas by year-end.
Looking ahead, Tesla is focused on new product launches, including the Cybercab, Tesla Semi, and Megapack 3, all slated for 2026. The Optimus humanoid robot is another ambitious project, with a production-intent prototype expected in early 2026. Financially, Tesla remains strong, ending the third quarter with over $41 billion in cash and investments and generating a record $4 billion in free cash flow.
The Case for Ford
Ford's vehicle lineup is strong, led by the F-Series, Maverick pickup and SUVs like the Escape, Explorer, Expedition, Bronco and EcoSport. The F-Series is on track to retain its title as America’s best-selling truck for the 49th consecutive year. Bronco delivered another record quarter in the three months ending September with a segment share above 30%, while Expedition achieved its best third-quarter performance in two decades, driven by strong demand for premium trims such as the Tremor.
Ford dominates the hybrid truck market, holding roughly 70% share, reflecting growing consumer preference for hybrid options amid a slowing EV adoption rate. The company’s Ford Pro division remains a key growth driver. Its integrated model combining vehicles, software and services is fueling higher recurring revenues and stronger margins. Paid software subscriptions continue to expand, boosting aftermarket parts sales and customer retention.
Ford is investing in long-term electrification through its Universal EV Platform, which will underpin digitally advanced, affordable EVs priced around $30,000. The company plans to start installing equipment for UEV production in Louisville and begin LFP battery cell production at its Michigan facility later this year.
Financially, Ford’s position remains solid, ending the third quarter of 2025 with $54 billion in liquidity, including $33 billion in cash. Its dividend yield above 4% offers strong income potential, and management aims to return 40–50% of free cash flow to shareholders.
However, Ford faces near-term challenges from the Novelis aluminum plant fire, which disrupted supply and is expected to cause an EBIT hit of $1.5–$2 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025 and reduce free cash flow by $2-$3 billion. As a result, the company trimmed its 2025 EBIT forecast to $6-$6.5 billion, down from $10.2 billion in 2024 and below its earlier forecast of $6.5-$7.5 billion, reflecting temporary margin pressure.
What Do Estimates Say for F & TSLA
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
The EPS estimates for Tesla’s current and next year have been revised downward by 5 cents and 3 cents each, respectively, over the past seven days.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
While the EPS estimates for Ford’s current year have been revised downward by 2 cents, the same for 2026 have moved north by a cent over the past seven days.
Final Thoughts
Ford and Tesla carry a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) each, but Ford appears relatively better positioned at this stage. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
Despite record Q3 deliveries, Tesla continues to grapple with softening demand (especially in Europe), rising competition from Chinese EV players and policy headwinds. Its ambitious bets on AI, robotaxis and robotics could take years to yield meaningful results, and the company’s history of missed timelines adds execution risk.
While the promise of unsupervised robotaxis remains exciting, it still hinges on successful rollout and regulatory approvals. So, investing in Tesla now will be mostly betting on the company’s high hopes and ambitions.
Ford, meanwhile, faces challenges of its own, including EV losses, recall costs and tariff pressures. Yet it is actively reshaping its EV strategy, strengthening its profitable Ford Pro business, and leveraging a solid balance sheet to support growth and shareholder returns.
The automaker also expects evolving global emissions regulations to ease compliance costs by 2026, allowing better optimization of its ICE, hybrid and EV mix. While the Novelis plant fire poses near-term headwinds, Ford’s diversified portfolio and steady execution make it a relatively stronger bet among the two for now.

Company News for Oct 27, 2025

Key Points
Dividend stocks have historically outperformed non-dividend payers.
Ford Pro is a thriving higher margin business for Ford right now.
A newly appointed CEO has many problems to solve for Stellantis.
Dividend stocks are a great way for investors to build long-term wealth thanks to reinvested dividends and the power of compounding. They offer stability as the businesses are typically more mature and stable, and dividend stocks have historically outperformed non-dividend paying stocks.
If you're screening for high-yielding dividends, both of the next stocks probably appear on the list -- but one is clearly a better option for income investors.
Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now, when you join Stock Advisor. See the stocks »
A higher margin story
Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F), a global automotive company developing and delivering trucks, SUVs, commercial vans, cars, and luxury vehicles, is separated into three business segments: Ford Blue, its iconic gas-powered and hybrid lineup; Model-e, its electric vehicle (EV) lineup; and Ford Pro, its commercial business.
Ford Blue continues to chug along while Model-e is suffering billions in losses as the company builds scale and volume with electric vehicles, but the growth story is found with Ford Pro. Let's compare the business segments real fast: Ford Blue generated $5.3 billion EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) in 2024 at a 5.2% EBIT margin, while Model e lost $5.1 billion. Ford Pro checked in with $9 billion EBIT at an impressive 13.5% EBIT margin.
Not only did Ford Pro generate significantly more earnings, it did so at more than double the EBIT margins. Further driving Ford Pro's margins are its software and physical services, which contributed 17% of Ford Pro's EBIT on a trailing-12-month basis ending in the second quarter of 2025. Ford Pro paid subscriptions also surged 24% during the second quarter compared to the prior year, to 757,000.
Ford's investment thesis is pretty straightforward: Let Ford Blue chug along as it has historically while riding Ford Pro's higher margin business, and build scale and lower costs to turn Model-e's billions in losses to billions in profits. While Ford does that it will pay you a generous 5% dividend yield and will typically dish out a supplemental dividend annually with excess cash flow.
Problems continue to mount
EV maker Stellantis (NYSE: STLA) has a major turnaround effort on its hands, but at least it has a newly appointed CEO as of June 2025, Antonia Filosa, to try to lead the charge. Here's a few of the developments he'll have his hands full with in the near term, and why Stellantis' over 7% dividend yield is fool's gold.
For the first issue facing Stellantis, let's rewind to April when the company suspended its guidance due to a massive profit drop in 2024 and uncertainty with the Trump administration's tariffs. The good news is that Stellantis at least has a plan to help offset tariffs and that's to invest a hefty $13 billion on expanding production in the U.S. by 50% and launch five new vehicles for the market. That's important because it will reduce imports -- Stellantis imported roughly 600,000 of the 1.3 million vehicles it sold to Americans last year.
The rest of Stellantis' issues might not be so easy to solve in the near term. The newly appointed CEO faces some tough decisions when it comes to the company's 14 brands -- it may be time to discontinue some and refocus investment in others. Filosa will also have to mend relationships with not only suppliers but with its own dealership network.
Making the company's profitability crunch worse is that analysts, according to Barron's, estimate Stellantis' factory capacity utilization in Europe and North America to be between 50% and 60% -- a low level for the automotive industry. Filosa has his hands full with a near complete turnaround needed at Stellantis.
What it all means
While both of these dividends will likely pop up on any screener looking for high-dividend yields, not all dividends are created equal. Ford has a clear path forward with profitability and cash flow as well as a thriving higher margin business in Ford Pro. Meanwhile, Stellantis is having profitability concerns and newly appointed CEO Filosa has many problems to fix. Ford is the dividend you want here, and it's hardly even comparable.

1 Dividend Stock Yielding Over 5% to Buy and 1 to Avoid

Key Points
Rivian’s stock is now down by more than 80% from its all-time high.
The electric vehicle maker has grappled with supply chain issues, a difficult macroeconomic environment, and intensifying competition.
The stock looks like a bargain, but the company still has a lot to prove.
Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ: RIVN), a producer of electric vehicles, attracted a lot of attention when it went public in November 2021 at an IPO price of $78 per share. It opened trading at $106.75 and closed at its record high of $172.01 just a week later.
Three tailwinds fueled that rally. First, Rivian generated a lot of buzz because it was backed by Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F). Second, it had already started mass-producing its first vehicles. Lastly, the buying frenzy around hypergrowth and meme stocks in late 2021 helped inflate its valuations.

But today, Rivian shares trade at about $13. A $150 investment made at its IPO price (including fractional shares) would have shrunk to a value of around $25. That same investment in an S&P 500 exchange-traded fund (ETF) would have grown to be worth roughly $230 with reinvested dividends. Let's see why Rivian underperformed the market -- and consider if it's worth buying today.
What happened to Rivian after its IPO?
Rivian currently produces three types of EVs: the R1T pickup truck, the R1S SUV, and electric delivery vans (EDVs) for Amazon and other businesses. When Rivian went public, it forecast that it would be able to produce 50,000 vehicles in 2022. It also planned to co-develop an electric pickup with Ford.
But in 2022, Rivian grappled with supply chain constraints and intermittent factory shutdowns, and as a result, it only produced 24,337 vehicles and delivered 20,332 of them to customers. In addition, Ford scrapped its plans for an electric pickup to be built on the "skateboard" platform that sits at the heart of Rivian's EVs, and sold off most of its 12% stake in the automaker throughout 2022. On the bright side, Amazon -- which placed a long-term order for 100,000 EDVs to be delivered through 2030 -- retained its 17% stake.
In 2023, Rivian more than doubled its production to 57,232 vehicles and delivered 50,122. It resolved most of its supply chain issues and rolled out its own Enduro drive unit for its R1 and EDVs to reduce its dependence on third-party suppliers. It also strengthened its relationships with its suppliers and improved the efficiency of its factories.

But over the past year and a half, Rivian's production and delivery rates slowed down again. It only expects to deliver 40,000 to 46,000 vehicles this year.
That slowdown wasn't disastrous, but rising interest rates crushed the company's valuations as its growth cooled off. At its post-IPO peak, Rivian's market cap reached $153.3 billion, or 92 times the revenue it would go on to generate in 2022. The business simply couldn't support that type of meme-stock valuation, and the stock crashed.
What will happen to Rivian over the next few years?
Rivian mainly attributed its deceleration to inflation, high interest rates, and lower EV subsidies -- all of which curbed consumers' appetite for new EVs. Intense competition from other EV makers exacerbated the pressure on Rivian. It also temporarily shut down its main Illinois plant for upgrades to prepare for the launch of its lower-priced R2 SUV in 2026.
Analysts still expect Rivian's revenue to rise by 7% to $5.3 billion this year as it offsets its slower deliveries with higher average selling prices and generates more revenue from its software upgrades, subscriptions, services, and licensing deals.
Its gross margin briefly turned positive in the first quarter of 2025 as those higher-margin strategies kicked in, but it turned negative again in the second quarter. Nevertheless, analysts still expect it to narrow its net loss to $3.71 billion for the year.
For 2026, the consensus expectation among analysts is for Rivian's revenue to rise by 32% to nearly $7 billion as it narrows its net loss to $3.65 billion. That acceleration is anticipated to be driven by the rollout of the R2 SUV, a stabilization in the sales of its other vehicles, and its joint venture with Volkswagen (OTC: VWAP.Y) for the co-development of new EV architecture and software.
In 2027, analysts expect Rivian's revenue to surge by 62% to $11.32 billion and for its net loss to narrow further to $3.23 billion. That relatively rosy outlook assumes it can scale up its production of the R2, stabilize its sales of other vehicles, and finally start production at its new plant in Georgia, which could triple its annual EV manufacturing capacity by 2028.
Is Rivian's stock worth buying?
With a market cap of $15.9 billion, Rivian trades at just over 2 times next year's expected sales. Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA), which is much bigger and firmly profitable, trades at 13 times its expected 2026 sales. Rivian certainly won't evolve into the next Tesla anytime soon, but any positive news about the business could push its valuations higher. The stock is still worth nibbling on as a speculative play, but investors should keep a close eye on how the upcoming launch of the R2 plays out. This could be the model that either makes or breaks the upstart EV maker.

If You'd Invested $150 in Rivian Stock 4 Years Ago, Here's How Much You'd Have Today

The S&P 500 Index ($SPX) (SPY) on Friday rose by +0.79%, the Dow Jones Industrials Index ($DOWI) (DIA) rose by +1.01%, and the Nasdaq 100 Index ($IUXX) (QQQ) rose by +1.04%. December E-mini S&P futures (ESZ25) rose by +0.74%, and December E-mini Nasdaq futures (NQZ25) rose by +1.00%.
The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 indexes both rallied to new record highs on Friday. Stocks found support from the slightly weaker-than-expected US CPI report, which gave the Fed a bit more latitude to cut interest rates. The Sep CPI report of +0.3% m/m and +3.0% y/y was slightly weaker than market expectations of +0.4% m/m and +3.1% y/y. Also, the Sep core CPI report of +0.2% m/m and +3.0% y/y was slightly weaker than market expectations of +0.3% m/m and +3.1% y/y.

While the markets reacted favorably to Friday’s CPI report, the Sep CPI report of +3.0% y/y rose to match the current 16-month high, and the core CPI report of +3.0% y/y was still far above the Fed’s inflation target of +2.0%.
Stocks also saw support from Friday’s Oct S&P US manufacturing PMI report of +0.2 to 52.2, stronger than expectations of unchanged at 52.0. Also, the Oct S&P US services PMI report of +1.0 to 55.2 was stronger than expectations for a -0.7 point decline to 53.5.
On the negative side, Friday’s final-Oct University of Michigan US consumer sentiment index fell -1.4 points to 53.6, which was weaker than market expectations of a -0.5 point drop to 54.5.
Stocks were undercut when President Trump late Thursday announced he had terminated trade negotiations with Canada, citing an anti-tariff advertisement released by the provincial government of Ontario that apparently hit a nerve with Mr. Trump. The ad featured former US President Reagan speaking out in a 1987 address in favor of free trade and against tariffs, calling tariffs an outdated idea that stifles innovation, drives up prices, and hurts US workers.
Mr. Trump claimed the ad was deceptive and said it was designed to influence the US Supreme Court ahead of oral arguments on November 5 on the legality of Mr. Trump’s reciprocal tariffs. Lower courts have already deemed Mr. Trump’s reciprocal tariffs illegal, ruling the tariffs are based on a specious claim of emergency authority. If the US Supreme Court upholds those rulings, the US government will have to refund the tariffs already collected, and Mr. Trump’s power to impose tariffs will be limited to well-founded sections of US trade law.
Later in the day, Ontario said it plans to pause the anti-tariff ad campaign. Also, Canadian Prime Minister Carney said Canada is prepared to resume trade talks “when the Americans are ready.”
The markets are focused on US-China trade talks, as President Trump reiterated his threat on Monday to boost tariffs on Chinese goods “if there isn’t a deal” by November 1. President Trump is scheduled to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping next Thursday on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation conference in South Korea.
The US government shutdown continues into its fourth week, weighing on market sentiment and delaying key economic reports. The government shutdown is delaying the release of government reports, including the last four weeks of weekly initial unemployment claims and the September payroll report. Bloomberg Economics estimates that 640,000 federal workers will be furloughed during the shutdown, which would expand jobless claims and push the unemployment rate up to 4.7%.
The markets are focused on earnings results as the Q3 earnings season continues. Positive corporate earnings expectations are a bullish backdrop for stocks. According to Bloomberg Intelligence, 85% of the S&P 500 companies that have reported so far have beaten forecasts, on course for the best quarter since 2021. However, Q3 profits are expected to have risen by +7.2% y/y, the smallest increase in two years. Also, Q3 sales growth is projected to slow to +5.9% y/y from 6.4% in Q2.
Overseas stock markets on Friday closed higher. The Euro Stoxx 50 closed up +0.11%. China’s Shanghai Composite closed up +0.71%. Japan’s Nikkei Stock 225 closed up +1.35%.
Interest Rates
December 10-year T-notes (ZNZ5) fell -1 tick, while the 10-year T-note yield fell -0.4 bp to 3.997%. T-notes rebounded from early losses on the slightly weaker-than-expected US CPI report. Also, the 10-year breakeven inflation expectations rate fell by -0.6 bp to 2.298%.
T-notes have support from the ongoing US government shutdown, which could lead to additional job losses, reduced consumer spending, and a weakened US economy, potentially allowing the Fed to continue cutting interest rates.
The markets are discounting a 97% chance of a -25 bp rate cut at next week’s FOMC meeting on Oct 28-29.
European government bond yields rose. The 10-year German bund yield rose +4.3 bp to 2.626%. The 10-year UK gilt yield rose +0.8 bp to 4.432%.
Swaps are discounting a 1% chance for a -25 bp rate cut by the ECB at its next policy meeting on October 30.
US Stock Movers
The Magnificent Seven stocks on Friday closed higher, except for the -3.4% decline in Tesla (TSLA). Alphabet (GOOG) and Nvidia (NVDA) both showed gains of more than +2%.
There were some notable gains in chip stocks Friday, which supported gains in tech stocks and the overall market. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) rallied more than +7%, and Micron Technology (MU) rallied more than +5%. Broadcom (AVGO), Arm Holdings (ARM), and Lam Research (LRCX) rallied more than +2%. Intel (INTC) rose +0.3% on a favorable earnings report and strong revenue guidance.
Crypto stocks saw support on Friday, with Bitcoin up +1% and Ethereum up +2.7%. Also, Coinbase (COIN) rallied more than +9% on an upgrade from JPMorgan to overweight from neutral due to some risk abatement and increasing monetization opportunities. Riot Platforms (RIOT) rallied +4.5%, and MARA Holdings (MARA) rallied +1.7%.
Ford (F) rallied more than +12% after beating analyst earnings expectations and expressing optimism about a bounce-back from a disruptive fire at a major supplier.
Newmont (NEM) fell more than -6% after the company said that gold production in 2026 may be no higher than in 2025.
Deckers Outdoor (DECK) fell more than -15% after reporting disappointing 2026 net sales.
