AI Summary

5.0
Neutral

Rivian's investment case is now a per-share cash-flow test: improving margins and R2's ~$45,000 launch could validate scalable manufacturing, but persistent free-cash-flow burn and dilution mean investors should wait for evidence that R2 ramps on time with positive margins before underwriting upside.
