Rivian Investors Face a Real Setback
Key Points Rivian's net loss narrowed, but tariff impacts weighed on results. Losing regulatory credit sales is a big loss for Rivian. The company's future increasingly relies on the upcoming R2 EV. 10 stocks we like better than Rivian Automotive › It's been a bumpy ride so far this year for Rivian (NASDAQ: RIVN). With the much-hyped R2 not launching until 2026, the company's sales have been sluggish and the addition of tariffs on imported auto parts threw a curveball few, if any, were ready for. Let's take a quick look at Rivian's second quarter and one very real setback investors may not have prepared for. Brief Q2 recap Rivian's second-quarter revenue rose 13% from the prior year to $1.3 billion, and its second quarter checked in with a net loss of $1.1 billion. The net loss was an improvement over the prior year's $1.5 billion net loss. Rivian's adjusted earnings per share checked in at a loss of $0.97, much worse than analysts expected at a loss of $0.80 per share, per Factset. Rivian did reaffirm its 2025 delivery guidance of 40,000 to 46,000 vehicles -- though it's going to take a strong second-half performance to reach. 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 » Another important metric for investors to follow is Rivian's gross loss, which checked in at a $206 million loss during the second quarter, still better than the prior year's loss of $451 million. But it's still a slight disappointment considering investors hoped Rivian would be gross-profit positive for the full year after posting gross profits during both the fourth and first quarters. Rivian also lowered its adjusted EBITDA loss forecast for the full year, expecting it to check in between $2 billion and $2.5 billion, compared to the previous forecast of between $1.7 billion and $1.9 billion. But there was one big glaring hurdle facing Rivian and its investors. Goodbye gravy-train? Rivian investors should be well aware the company manufactures and sells an electric SUV, truck, and delivery van, but they might not be aware that the company also generates a significant chunk of its business from selling zero-emissions credits. This is how it works in a simplified explanation. Manufacturers such as Tesla, Rivian, and Lucid that produce and sell electric vehicles receive credits for those vehicles meeting emissions standards. On the flip side, automakers were previously penalized for missing those emissions targets, and one way to meet the requirements was to simply purchase zero-emission credits from automakers that didn't have to worry about offsetting an internal combustion vehicle lineup. But the administration's removal of the emissions penalty did one huge thing -- it completely removed the incentive for automakers to purchase zero-emission credits since they are no longer penalized for missing targets. It's the equivalent of shutting off a hose that was flowing cash. "We do not expect to earn revenue from these programs for the remainder of 2025. We expect total 2025 regulatory credit sales to be approximately $160 million as compared to our prior outlook of $300 million," Rivian CFO Claire McDonough said. What it all means It's not a stretch to say even Tesla may have shuttered its doors in the early days without sales of these credits. They're incredibly important to young EV makers. This is a big loss for Rivian, and without sales of zero-emission credits the company will almost certainly fall short of gross profits during 2025. The silver lining is that Rivian already completed its task of two consecutive quarters of gross profits, which secured $1 billion of direct equity from Volkswagen as a part of their joint venture. Losing revenue from zero-emission credits is certainly a setback, and a letdown investors likely didn't anticipate when initially investing in the automaker. But it's not a death sentence either. The company's future still largely remains in the hands of its upcoming and highly anticipated R2 electric SUV, R3, and R3X, with the first R2 rolling out of production in the first half of 2026. If the R2 is a success, investors will forget about lost revenue and profits from zero-emission credits. Should you invest $1,000 in Rivian Automotive right now?

Why Clean Energy Fuels Stock Raced Nearly 13% Higher Today
Key Points The energy company delivered better-than-expected numbers in its latest earnings release. It beat on both the top and bottom lines with second-quarter results. 10 stocks we like better than Clean Energy Fuels › Clean Energy Fuels (NASDAQ: CLNE), a company that sells renewable natural gas (RNG) as a fuel for automobiles, scored a clean win on the stock exchange Friday. Its shares zoomed almost 13% higher after it unveiled its latest set of quarterly results, which, among other things, featured a double beat on analyst estimates. With that performance, it crushed the 0.8% increase of the S&P 500 index. Confidence renewed after results published Clean Energy Fuels' second quarter saw the company post revenue of $102.6 million, which was nearly 5% higher on a year-over-year basis. Non-GAAP (adjusted) net income fell to $337,000, shaking out to less than $0.01 per share. Despite the bottom-line decline, analysts were expecting notably worse results. On average, they were modeling slightly over $94 million for revenue and a net loss of $0.06 per share. In its earnings release, Clean Energy Fuels CEO Andrew Littlefair said, "RNG remains the most immediate and cost-effective clean transportation fuel, as we see continued strong demand reflected in our solid second quarter results." Littlefair also pointed out that the government's recently passed "big, beautiful bill" supports the RNG market. Its extension of the clean fuel production tax credit should be a boon for RNG producers and suppliers. Powering big fleets Clean Energy Fuels is doing quite well in its rather limited niche, and during the quarter, it executed new supply arrangements with a number of municipal transit fleets, including LA Metro in Los Angeles. Such customers tend to be long-term and reliable, so it'll be worthwhile for investors to keep an eye on how the segment continues to develop for the company.

5 Important Takeaways From SoFi's Blowout Earnings Report
Key Points SoFi reported earnings that handily beat expectations on both the top and bottom lines. The loan platform business is generating an impressive stream of fee income. SoFi's asset quality is improving, with the net charge-off ratio declining by more than 40 basis points. 10 stocks we like better than SoFi Technologies › SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ: SOFI) recently reported its second-quarter earnings, and the stock soared to a multiyear high. Not only were the numbers generally stronger than analysts had been looking for, but the company also is growing in all the right ways and has big plans. With that in mind, here are some of the key takeaways from SoFi's earnings report that you need to know, and what to keep an eye on. 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 » 1. Growth momentum isn't slowing down In the second quarter, revenue growth was 44% year over year, an acceleration over its prior rate. The company grew its membership base by 34% year over year, adding 846,000 new members, the highest single-quarter total ever. 2. Capital-light revenue streams are strong SoFi has been a personal lender for years, but the recent focus has been on the loan platform business, which consists of several capital-light streams of fee income. In addition to securitizing loans and selling them to investors, the company has been originating a high volume of loans on behalf of third parties and referring applicants to other lending partners. Its loan platform is generating high-margin fee income at a rate of more than $500 million annually on a run rate of $9.5 billion in loan originations. Fee-based revenue now makes up 44% of the company's total, compared with 27% a couple of years ago, and this shift is a big reason for SoFi's surprisingly strong profitability. Noninterest income roughly quadrupled year over year, and the loan platform business has been the primary driver. 3. Profits are better than expected Not only did SoFi produce better-than-expected profitability in the second quarter, but the company also reported its highest earnings per share (EPS) ever. It produced an 11% adjusted net margin, and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) increased 80% year over year. And management raised its full-year 2025 guidance for all major profitability metrics and now expects EPS to more than double from 2024 levels. 4. Asset quality is improving SoFi's loan net charge-off rate ticked higher in 2023 but it has been in a clear downward trend for nearly two years. Since it peaked at 3.98% in late 2023, the net charge-off rate for personal loans has declined to 2.83%, including a 48-basis-point sequential drop in the most recent quarter. 5. More than personal loans SoFi is well known for its personal loan business, and for good reason. But the company also originates student loans and home loans, and I'd argue that these are underappreciated growth drivers. In the second quarter, student loan volume grew by 35%, and I wouldn't be surprised to see it accelerate in the second half of the year, since more pandemic-era federal student loan protections have expired recently. For example, borrowers whose loans are in limbo as the SAVE repayment plan makes its way through the legal system just recently saw interest start accumulating on their student loans again. Perhaps most exciting is the fintech's home loan business, which grew volume by more than 90% year over year despite a slow real estate market and persistent high interest rates. There's a lot of pent-up demand for home purchases as well as for refinancing and home equity lines of credit, and if mortgage rates fall, this could become a big business. What to watch The second half of 2025 could be an exciting time for SoFi. The Federal Reserve is widely expected to resume interest rate cuts, and this could help lower the company's deposit cost. Also, management is bringing back cryptocurrency trading before the end of the year and has other big plans to integrate cryptocurrency and blockchain technology throughout its platform. Along with its earnings report, SoFi announced a plan to raise $1.5 billion in fresh capital by selling new common stock. With plenty of growth opportunities, this could help take its business to the next level. Should you invest $1,000 in SoFi Technologies right now?
