Rivian Announces New East Coast Headquarters in Atlanta

Globe and Mail17-07-2025
Rivian, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, and Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens today announced the American electric vehicle company will establish a new East Coast Headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia as part of its landmark investment in the state. The office will open in late 2025, followed by further expansion in 2026 as construction accelerates at the company's new manufacturing site in Social Circle, just outside the city.
Rivian will occupy the top floor and lobby of Portman Holdings' Junction Krog District building at 667 Auburn Ave NE, adjacent to the famous Eastside Trail of the Atlanta Beltline—easily accessible by public transportation. Rivian expects to employ around 100 people at the site by the end of 2025, with around 500 people at the new headquarters when fully built.
'We are excited to establish our East Coast head office in Atlanta,' said Rivian Founder and CEO RJ Scaringe. 'Atlanta embodies so much that makes Georgia great—top talent, exceptional creativity, and a desire to always be moving forward.'
'Georgia is a prime location for any company headquarters, and we're glad to see Rivian will soon join the growing list of brands not only operating in our state but also wholly or partially based in our capital city,' said Governor Brian Kemp. 'They recognize the unmatched value of Georgia's talent and the location of their East Coast Headquarters in Atlanta is the latest demonstration of their commitment to the Peach State. I look forward to that commitment translating to new jobs and opportunities for hardworking Georgians.'
'Atlanta continues to lead in EV innovation and technology integration, and Rivian's growing presence here reinforces our city's role in shaping our future economy. The opening of this new office and event space reflects how Atlanta continues to engage the community in bold, creative ways,' said Mayor Andre Dickens. 'Thank you to the Rivian team for investing in our city and calling Atlanta home.'
Rivian has invested significantly in the Peach State, beginning with its plans to build a 7,500-person manufacturing facility in Stanton Springs North, near Social Circle. Since then, the company has continued to develop strong relationships in the state and plans to establish partnerships with universities, technical colleges, and local, regional, and state institutions as it scales.

Can ExxonMobil Navigate Market Turbulence With Its Strong Balance Sheet?

Exxon Mobil Corporation XOM is one of the world's largest integrated energy companies with operations spanning upstream, downstream and chemicals. Like other oil and gas majors, ExxonMobil is exposed to commodity price volatility. However, the company's strong balance sheet provides resilience during periods of market uncertainty, allowing it to sustain operations and shareholder returns even when crude prices are under pressure. With a debt-to-capitalization ratio of just 12.2%, ExxonMobil carries substantially less debt than the broader industry's 41.06%. At the end of the first quarter of 2025, ExxonMobil reported $30 billion in cash and marketable securities, reflecting a healthy liquidity position. Coupled with diversified global operations and disciplined capital spending, ExxonMobil is well-positioned to generate robust cash flows and navigate commodity cycles effectively. COP & CVX Also Have Healthy Balance Sheets Like XOM, ConocoPhillips COP and Chevron Corporation CVX also have lower debt exposure. The debt-to-capitalization of COP is 26.7%, while that of CVX is 16.5%. Thus, despite having significant exposure to exploration and production activities, both COP and Chevron can lean on their balance sheet to combat periods of low oil prices. XOM's Price Performance, Valuation & Estimates Shares of XOM have plunged 4.3% over the past year compared with the industry 's 2.3% decline. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research From a valuation standpoint, XOM trades at a trailing 12-month enterprise value to EBITDA (EV/EBITDA) of 6.93X. This is above the broader industry average of 4.36X. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for XOM's 2025 earnings has been revised upward over the past seven days. XOM stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Deadline Approaching: Fiserv, Inc. (FI) Investors Who Lost Money Urged To Contact Law Offices of Howard G. Smith

Law Offices of Howard G. Smith reminds investors of the upcoming September 22, 2025 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the case filed on behalf of investors who purchased Fiserv, Inc. ('Fiserv' or the 'Company') (NYSE: FI) common stock between July 24, 2024 and July 22, 2025, inclusive (the 'Class Period'). IF YOU ARE AN INVESTOR WHO SUFFERED A LOSS IN FISERV, INC. (FI), CONTACT THE LAW OFFICES OF HOWARD G. SMITH TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ONGOING SECURITIES FRAUD LAWSUIT. Contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to discuss your legal rights by email at howardsmith@ by telephone at (215) 638-4847 or visit our website at What Happened? On April 24, 2025, Fiserv reported that the gross payment volume ('GPV') of its merchant payment gateway, Clover, had only seen a growth of 8% for the first quarter of 2025, compared to 14% to 17% from the previous year. The Company attributed the slowing growth to lower 2025 transaction volumes from merchants using the older payment gateway, Payeezy, who had converted to Clover. On this news, Fiserv's stock price fell $40.20, or 18.5%, to close at $176.90 per share on April 24, 2025, thereby injuring investors. Then, on May 15, 2025, Fiserv disclosed that GPV growth deceleration would continue throughout 2025. On this news, Fiserv's stock price fell $30.73, or 16.2%, to close at $159.13 per share on May 15, 2025. Then, on July 23, 2025, Fiserv lowered the top end of its full-year organic growth guidance range and confirmed that its quarterly organic revenue in the Merchant segment had decelerated to 9% year-over-year from 11% in the previous quarter. On this news, Fiserv's stock price fell $22.98, or 13.8%, to close at $143.00 per share on July 23, 2025, thereby injuring investors further. What Is The Lawsuit About? The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) due to cost issues and other problems with its Payeezy platform, Fiserv forced Payeezy merchants to migrate to its Clover platform; (2) Clover's revenue growth and GPV growth were temporarily and unsustainably boosted by these forced conversions, which concealed a slowdown in new merchant business; (3) shortly after these conversions, a significant portion of former Payeezy merchants switched to competing solutions due to Clover's high pricing, inadequate customer service, and other issues; (4) as a result of these merchant losses, Clover's GPV growth was significantly slowing, and its revenue growth was unsustainable; and (5) as a result, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. If you purchased or otherwise acquired Fiserv common stock during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than September 22, 2025 to ask the Court to appoint you as lead plaintiff if you meet certain legal requirements.
