3 EV Stocks That Even the Rivian-Volkswagen Deal Can’t Save
Yesterday, a prominent automaker provided a much-needed catalyst for electric vehicle (EV) stocks. In an update that surprised most of the automotive community, Volkswagen (OTCMKTS:VWAGY) announced that it would be investing up to $5 billion in Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN) over time, and the entire sector took notice. Many EV stocks enjoyed a boost as Rivian shares surged significantly. It isn’t hard to see why this could be a turning point for the EV startup. As The New York Times reports: “If successful, the partnership would address weaknesses at both companies. It would provide Volkswagen with the software expertise that auto analysts say it sorely lacks. And Rivian, in addition to cash, would benefit from the manufacturing expertise of an automaker that produces nearly 10 million vehicles a year, putting it just behind Toyota Motor in the global auto industry.” After struggling for months, Rivian finally seems poised to reclaim its former place as a leader among EV stocks and a rival for Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA). Many EV stocks are still in the green today as the Rivian rally continues. But this sector-wide momentum doesn’t mean that all EV stocks are good buys. There are a few names that investors should still avoid, regardless of how well they are currently trading. Here are a few companies with particularly troubling fundamentals.
