Rivian and Ford both lose money, but which EV maker has the better path to profitability?

Rivian and Ford both reported losses in Q4 2025, but their paths to profitability differ significantly. Ford generated $45.9 billion in quarterly revenue with a -24% net income margin, whilst Rivian recorded $1.3 billion in revenue with a -63% margin. Rivian secured key partnerships with Uber for autonomous deployment and Volkswagen for software development, which could diversify its revenue streams. Ford is prioritising gas-powered vehicles and launching a dedicated battery division. Despite Ford's substantially larger revenue, both companies face the same challenge: closing the gap between revenue and profitability. Analysts suggest watching whether Rivian achieves 20% year-over-year revenue growth in 2026 whilst narrowing losses, and whether Ford's strategic shift improves margins. The better long-term investment will be determined by which company demonstrates a credible path to profitability.

BlueOval SK delays Kentucky battery plant layoffs of 1,500 workers until March

BlueOval SK has delayed planned layoffs at its Kentucky battery plant until 31 March, according to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification filed on 12 February. The cuts, affecting around 10% of remaining workers, were originally scheduled to begin on 14 February. The delays follow December 2025's dissolution of the Ford-SK joint venture due to lower-than-expected electric vehicle demand. SK Americas cited "ongoing regulatory approval processes" for postponing the redundancies. The Glendale facility began initial battery production in August 2025 as part of an $11.4 billion investment to build three US manufacturing plants. Under the dissolution agreement, Ford will take full ownership of the two Kentucky plants, whilst SK On assumes control of the Tennessee facility within Ford's BlueOval City campus.

Detroit automakers face existential threats amid Trump tariffs and Chinese competition

Detroit's Big Three automakers face existential threats from technological disruption, potential Chinese competition and volatile oil prices in a Middle East conflict that could devastate Michigan's 1.2 million auto jobs and over 25% of state GDP. Ford, GM and Stellantis have seen their US market share plummet from 70% in 1990 to 35% today. GM, once dominant in China, now struggles against innovative Chinese competitors whilst Detroit initially dismissed Tesla, now worth nine times more than all three combined. President Trump's policies have significantly disrupted the industry through tariffs that cost $6.5 billion last year, elimination of $7,500 EV tax credits causing sales to plunge, and threats to renegotiate the US-Mexico-Canada trade agreement. The policy shifts led to $52.1 billion in EV write-offs, pushing Ford and Stellantis into net losses.

NTSB to review two fatal Ford BlueCruise crashes as BofA sets $17 price target

The National Transportation Safety Board will hold a hearing on 31st March to determine the probable cause of two fatal crashes involving Ford Motor Company's BlueCruise hands-free driver assistance system. Both 2024 incidents involved 2022 Mustang Mach-E vehicles that rear-ended stationary vehicles at highway speeds in San Antonio and Philadelphia whilst operating in partial automation mode. The NTSB plans to vote on safety recommendations to prevent similar incidents. Separately, BofA reinstated coverage of Ford on 4th March with a $17 price target and Buy rating, citing potential benefits from regulatory changes allowing focus on higher-margin trucks and SUVs. The firm expects Ford to progress towards its 8% EBIT margin target from 4.8% in 2026.

Ford launches AI system to boost multibillion-dollar Pro commercial business

Ford Motor is launching Ford Pro AI, a new artificial intelligence system for its commercial vehicle business that can monitor and analyse over one billion data points daily from connected vehicles. The system tracks seatbelt use, vehicle health, route optimisation and fuel consumption to help fleet operators increase efficiency and reduce downtime. The AI will be included with Ford's telematics subscriptions at no additional cost for its 840,000 paid commercial subscribers, which grew 30% last year. Built on Google Cloud using proprietary Ford data, the system launches in a prompted, read-only format with potential for expansion. Ford CEO Jim Farley identified software revenue diversification as crucial for growth. Ford Pro reported $66 billion in revenue and $6.8 billion in earnings last year, with software and services approaching a 20% earnings target.
