Is Tesla's Pain Rivian's Gain?
Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) has been on a tough path the last few years. It keeps losing share in its key markets around the globe, especially in the United States, a trend that looks set to continue even though it has slashed prices on its best-selling electric vehicles (EVs). Now, CEO Elon Musk has started publicly debating with President Donald Trump, and it is unclear whether this feud will truly affect Tesla's business. But it will definitely not be a positive development since taking political sides will inevitably alieniate a large customer cohort. It's a sceario that can cut both ways. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Learn More » Regardless, the company has already experienced much financial pain the last few years. At the same time, other EV stocks, such as Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ: RIVN), have stayed stuck in the mud. Its shares are down over 90% from all-time highs and trade below $15. Is Tesla's pain going to be Rivian's gain, making the stock a buy right now? Rivian's bold bets are falling flat Rivian made its debut on the stock market with a lot of excitement. It raised over $10 billion in its initial public offering and shot up to a market cap of over $100 billion. Investors were optimistic about the company -- which at the time generated zero revenue -- and its EV product pipeline and its deal with Amazon to build its new delivery vans. Since then, Rivian has started to produce cars for customers, but at a much smaller scale than initially thought. It still has a large 100,000 order to make electric vans for Amazon, and you can now see its vehicles regularly on roads in the United States. However, with the high price points of its trucks and SUVs, deliveries to customers have begun to flatten out. In 2025, the company is guiding for 40,000 to 46,000 deliveries. In 2024, it delivered over 50,000 vehicles. For reference, Tesla delivers close to 2 million cars globally each year, and while that figure has begun to fall, it is still significantly larger than Rivian's numbers. Selling cars that push a $100,000 price point is going to make your product unaffordable for most people in the U.S. This is why Rivian's share of EV sales has not grown significantly in reaction to Tesla's market share losses. Musk's customers have gone to legacy brands that can sell more affordable EVs. Can Rivian's sales grow again? To reinvigorate delivery growth, Rivian plans to bring a more affordable EV to market in 2026 called the R2. The SUV will cost around $45,000 before upgrades, which will open up a much larger addressable market. The company still needs to execute and start up production, but this is the right path if it wants to achieve greater market share in EVs and get to profitability. Scale will be important. Right now, the company is losing a ton of money -- it had a $655 million operating loss just in the first quarter of 2025 -- because it does not have the sales to support its fixed manufacturing costs. Automakers either have to be a niche luxury player selling at high price points or an automaker with large volumes -- nothing in between. The R2 could give Rivian a path to get to hundreds of thousands of vehicle deliveries a year, a capacity the company is in the process of building. It will be an expensive investment, but one it has the cash and liquidity to make. The company had $8.5 billion in cash on its balance sheet at the end of its last quarter, a $3.5 billion commitment from its partner Volkswagen, and a potential $6.6 billion loan from the Department of Energy coming down the line. This provides a long runway to keep burning money as it scales up its manufacturing. Eventually, it will need to generate a profit and positive cash flow, though. RIVN Revenue (TTM) data by YCharts; TTM = trailing 12 months. The right way to look at Rivian stock Investors should not look at Rivian as a quick way to play the Tesla market share losses and Elon Musk's political ventures. The trends in the automotive sector and EVs take much longer to play out, with Rivian planning for a huge growth in production in 2026 and the few years thereafter. Nothing is going to happen in 2025 in regard to growth. The way to look at Rivian stock as an investment, at least for those thinking of buying today, is as a high-risk stock with a lot of long-term potential if the company executes on its growth plans. Today, the stock has a market cap of just $16.5 billion, which is significantly lower than Tesla. Annual revenue for Rivian is right around $5 billion. It will not happen overnight, but Rivian could potentially see its stock price soar if it gets profitable, scales up production, and starts generating tens of billions in revenue a year at some point this decade. But it doesn't come without risks, which investors need to understand before buying this upstart EV manufacturer. Should you invest $1,000 in Rivian Automotive right now?

Concordia Shanghai Breaks Ground on Visionary New Rittmann Center
State-of-the-art facility will transform student life through the arts, athletics, and wellness. SHANGHAI, June 13, 2025 /CNW/ -- Concordia International School Shanghai is set to break ground on a major redevelopment of the Rittmann Center, expanding the iconic facility into a modern, 13,710-square-meter multi-purpose hub designed to support student excellence in academics, the arts, athletics, and wellness. Named after former Head of School Dr. David Rittmann, the Rittmann Center was first completed in December 2007, with a purpose to enhance the school's creative arts education. More than five times the size of the current building, the new Rittmann Center marks one of the largest facility investments in the school's history. Designed to serve students across all divisions, it embodies Concordia's commitment to innovation, sustainability, and holistic education. The new center will house: An eight-lane, 25-meter competition pool with spectator seating for 240 A professional-grade theater with seating for over 500—a major upgrade from the current 330 Purpose-built music classrooms for band, choir, and strings Six dedicated practice rooms, three ensemble rooms, and a 170m² drama studio Four expansive art studios filled with natural light and designed for creative exploration Two underground floors and four above ground, maximizing space while maintaining a compact campus footprint A green roof and infrastructure built to meet LEED II certification standards, continuing the school's focus on sustainability Architects from Ennead have worked closely with the school to shape a building that's not only functional but inspiring, incorporating advanced acoustic treatments, energy-efficient HVAC systems, and student-centered design principles to support 21st-century learning and performance. "The Rittmann Center has long been a space where students shine," said Dr. Eric Semler, Head of School. "This new facility will take that to the next level—empowering students to explore their passions, build confidence, and thrive in a community that celebrates their talents." Construction will begin after the end of the 2024–25 school year and is expected to be completed by July 2027. To minimize disruption to learning, the school has implemented: Phased construction scheduling tied to school breaks Sound barriers, vibration dampeners, and dust suppression systems Dedicated traffic flow systems to avoid student movement areas "This is more than a building project - it's an investment in our students' future. It's about creating an environment where future generations can learn, perform, and grow," added Dr. Semler. About Concordia International School Shanghai Founded in 1998, Concordia International School Shanghai is a co-educational day school that offers a comprehensive American-style education to students from Preschool through High School.

Prediction: Palantir Stock Will Plummet in the Second Half of 2025. The Reason Why Is Obvious.
Data mining specialist Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) picked up right where it left off in 2024. Last year, Palantir stock was the top performer in the S&P 500 index, as well as the third-best stock in the Nasdaq-100. So far in 2025, things haven't changed much for the artificial intelligence (AI) software player -- as shares have rocketed by an eye-popping 74% as of this writing (June 10). While the momentum doesn't appear to be slowing down at all for Palantir, my prediction is that the stock will plummet during the second half of the year. 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 » Let's explore some of the trends fueling Palantir stock right now, as well as some interesting breadcrumbs that could support my idea that shares are headed for a sell-off. Should you dump your Palantir position right now? Read on to find out. Palantir's valuation is sky high, and... There is a lot that can be gathered from the chart below. The obvious takeaway is that Palantir's price-to-sales (P/S) multiple of 105 is significantly higher than any of the software growth stocks in this peer set. However, the bigger idea from the analysis below is that Palantir's valuation continues to expand. PLTR PS Ratio data by YCharts These dynamics imply that investors are buying Palantir stock in droves. The deeper question I've been asking is: Who are the investors that keep chasing Palantir's momentum? Based on some recent clues, I think I might have an answer. ...smart investors are taking profits Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood is one of the original Palantir bulls on Wall Street. Shortly following the company's IPO in late 2020, Wood appeared on financial news programs on a regular basis -- constantly talking about her excitement around Palantir and the company's ability to disrupt legacy software providers. While this was a great source of indirect PR for Palantir, Wood shocked the investment world when she dumped her stake sometime in 2022. Following these moves, Wood started accumulating a position in Palantir stock once again in 2023. Per the graph in the prior section, Ark Invest's position in Palantir is sitting on a healthy profit considering shares now hover around all-time highs. Wood has taken note of these trends, and the famous tech investor is once again reducing her exposure to Palantir. Wood isn't the only notable personality on Wall Street that's choosing to take profits in Palantir, though. Billionaire investor Stanley Druckenmiller of the Duquesne Family Office completely exited Palantir during the first quarter, per the fund's most recent 13F filing. Similar to Wood, Druckenmiller has also been in and out of Palantir stock in recent years. I view the decision to reduce exposure to Palantir stock right now as a prudent one. While the selling from Wood and Druckenmiller does not necessarily imply a bearish view of Palantir at all, I think trimming exposure and taking profits in a stock that seems overbought makes sense. My prediction is that more institutions will follow in the second half of 2025 Palantir's valuation is historically high, even compared to what investors witnessed during the peak bubble days of the dot-com boom. I think a rising number of institutions will come to the opinion that Palantir's current valuation trajectory is not sustainable given how far the stock has already run. PLTR Shares Increased by Institutional Investors data by YCharts The graph above illustrates the number of shares of Palantir stock that have increased and decreased by institutional investors over the last year. As the trends indicate, there was pronounced institutional buying of Palantir stock during the last few months of 2024. At the same time, the orange line -- which indicates institutional selling -- also steadily climbed during late 2024 and ultimately converged with the purple line (buyers) at the start of 2025. Right now, shares bought by institutions remains higher than shares sold, which implies large investors are net buyers of Palantir stock for the time being. Throughout this year, both buying and selling activity has decelerated -- as indicated by the relative flattening of both lines. These trends suggest that while institutions remain cautiously optimistic about Palantir, there could be further selling on the horizon as the narrowing gap between buyers and sellers becomes more obvious. As such, I think the current momentum fueling Palantir stock could tempt more institutions to dump their shares -- leading to a plummeting share price and much-needed valuation normalization. Ultimately, I don't think dumping your position in Palantir is entirely necessary. As a long-term investor, it's important to hold on to your highest-conviction winners. However, I do think taking some gains off the table could be a smart decision right now. Should you invest $1,000 in Palantir Technologies right now?
