Why Navitas Semiconductor Stock Dropped Today
Key Points Navitas met expectations for Q2 sales and earnings last night. Nevertheless, sales fell steeply year over year, and are forecast to fall again in Q3. Analysts see little hope of Navitas turning profitable for years to come. 10 stocks we like better than Navitas Semiconductor › Navitas Semiconductor (NASDAQ: NVTS), maker of power chips for charging electric devices, tumbled 15.2% through 10:30 a.m. ET Tuesday despite fulfilling analyst predictions in its second-quarter earnings report last night. Heading into the report, analysts forecast Navitas would lose $0.05 per share -- and it did. They also predicted sales would be about $14.4 million; Navitas reported nearly $14.5 million in sales. All of which sounds fine to me, so why is the stock down so much today? Navitas' Q2 earnings Turning to the report itself, here's what you'll find: Revenue may have met expectations, but it was still down more than 29% year over year. And although Navitas met expectations on earnings (i.e., losses) as well, the nickel it says it lost in the quarter was only a non-GAAP (adjusted) number. Earnings as calculated according to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), in contrast, showed a loss of $0.25 per share. That's twice the sum Navitas lost per share a year ago. It's also 5 times the $0.05-per-share loss Wall Street is talking about. Is Navitas stock a sell? Management tried to put a brave face on this miserable result, with CEO Gene Sheridan insisting that "despite industrywide headwinds [he is] pleased with our teams' Q2 performance," and continuing to focus on making chips for the popular artificial intelligence and energy sectors. Meanwhile, though, the business keeps shrinking. Management forecast sales in Q3 will be only $10 million and, even non-GAAP, the company expects to continue losing money -- and probably not just in Q3. According to analysts polled by S&P Global Market Intelligence, losses will continue as far as the eye can see, to 2028 at least, and probably beyond. It's hard for me to recommend buying a stock like that. Should you buy stock in Navitas Semiconductor right now?

Rivian Stock Plunges After Brutal Q2 Earnings and Weak Outlook
Aug 6 - Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) dipped more than 3% on Wednesday after posting mixed Q2 results that left Wall Street unimpressed. The EV maker reported a loss of $0.97 per share, missing consensus expectations by $0.32, though revenue came in slightly ahead at $1.30 billion versus the expected $1.27 billion, a 12.5% year-over-year increase. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with RIVN. The revenue beat didn't do much to soften the blow of the wider-than-expected loss, as investors responded with a sell-off that pushed shares down to $12.00 during mid-day trading. Adding to the market's hesitation, the company continues to burn cash aggressively, with negative margins and return on equity weighing heavily on investor sentiment. Analyst ratings remain mixed, with a wide price target range from $12 to $18 and a consensus near $14.30. Insider selling by Rivian's CEO and CFO in recent months also added downward pressure, even as institutional ownership remains strong. While Rivian's long-term vision in EVs and autonomous tech continues to attract attention, the company faces mounting challenges balancing growth and profitability in a capital-intensive space.

Rivian, Lucid Brace for a Rough Ride as EV Headwinds Intensify
Rivian (RIVN, Financials) and Lucid Group (LCID, Financials) are warning that the rest of 2025 will be bumpy; policy changes, trade tensions and supply?chain snags are putting pressure on electric?vehicle makers. Rivian shares slid about 4% after hours; Lucid fell roughly 7%. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with RIVN. The Trump administration has reshaped the EV landscape ending consumer tax credits; imposing steep tariffs on imported auto parts; and scrapping emission fines for gas?vehicle makers. China's tighter export limits on heavy rare earth metals critical for EV motors have only made things worse; supply chains are straining under the weight. For Rivian, that's meant higher costs and shrinking side income from selling regulatory credits. The company now expects a deeper adjusted core loss of $2 billion to $2.25 billion this year; that's up from its prior $1.7 billion to $1.9 billion range. Per?unit costs jumped 8% to about $118,375; lower production added roughly $14,000 per vehicle. A three?week production pause in September will prepare its lower?priced R2 SUV for a 2026 launch; management says the model is key to reaching a wider audience. Lucid avoided the worst of the rare?earth crunch by tapping into existing magnet inventory; still, tariffs have eaten into margins. The luxury EV maker cut its annual production goal; it also warned of softer demand in Q4 once the $7,500 federal tax credit expires at the end of September. Analysts expect a rush of Q3 sales as buyers race to lock in the incentive; the risk is that the pull?forward leaves a hole later in the year. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
