$Tesla(TSLA.US) and $Rivian Automotive(RIVN.US) both rising into 2Q delivs tomorrow, throwing cold water on the idea that TSLA’s rise has to do with sudden excitement about FSD or AI. With 72% of TSLA profits and 100% of RIVN profits driven by sales of EVs, the likely delivs surprises tomorrow fueled by surging oil prices over the past quarter is clearly the reason for renewed optimism in both EV makers.

Robotics is moving so fast.
I expect deal value to 10x in the upcoming years.With private capital flowing into companies that can manufacture at scale + win paying customers.Some of the biggest deals so far this year include:-> Saronic (US) w/ $1.75B Series D in March for autonomous naval vessels.-> Skild AI (US) w/ $1.4B round for humanoid software. -> Apptronik (US) w/ $0.94B Series A for industrial humanoids.-> Mind Robotics spun out from $Rivian Automotive(RIVN.US) and raised $0.9B YTD.There'll be plenty of public investment opportunities though.Either by investing upstream in the suppliers that make up humanoid's BOM e.g. in actuators or perception systems.In a similar style to the AI supply chain, going upstream to find where the winners are.Or via pure-play robotics companies selling B2B and B2C once production ramp hits in a year or two.

RIVN 1Q26 First Take: Overall, Rivian delivered a decent print. Revenue was roughly in line with estimates, while GP and net loss came in slightly better. Details below:
① Vehicle revenue reached $900 mn, above the $880 mn consensus. ASP was $88k, up from $83k in the prior quarter (+$5k), likely on improved mix (lower EDV share) and some pullback in promo discounts. ASP also topped the market’s $85k estimate.
② Vehicle GPM kept improving QoQ, rising from -10.9% to -6.8% (+410 bps), slightly better than the market’s -7.8% expectation. The ASP uplift offset drag from reduced scale benefits.
③ Adj. EBITDA was -$470 mn, better than the -$500 mn consensus, supported by stronger GP and disciplined R&D spend. Adj. EBITDA margin ticked up QoQ by ~200 bps to -34.2%. However, vs. this print, investors are more focused on R2, a lower-priced volume model, including ramp speed and margin implications; please stay tuned for Dolphin Research’s take and Trans. $Rivian Automotive(RIVN.US)

With Trump tariffs axed and China models soaring, can China ADRs rally? ---
There is always plenty of drama around Chinese New Year. After Trump ramped up tariffs throughout 2025, the policy was effectively gutted, leaving no legal footing.
In 2026, following a rush of domestic AI model launches, China ADRs never had a 'DS moment'. Model-linked names were the only ones that outperformed.Also, during Chinese New Year 2026, despite decent consumer data, HK stocks fell first and then rose, an ineffective swing. There was no standalone 'Chinese New Year bull run' during HK’s solo trading days.With Trump-era tariffs in his second term ruled unlawful, what could this mean for markets ahead? The days of blanket re-rating may be over...

2026 sales guidance beats expectations

RivianFinancial Analysis - D
Rivian 4Q25 First Take: off a low bar, Rivian delivered a solid print. With U.S. demand pressured by IRA subsidy step-downs, industry-wide deliveries were soft (incl. Tesla). Even so, Rivian beat on the headline numbers and improved QoQ.
Specifically, the takeaways are as follows. See below.
Revenue slightly beat, mainly on stronger-than-expected service revenue tied to the Volkswagen partnership. Vehicle ASP was $83k vs. the $86k consensus, likely on a higher mix of lower-priced EDVs.
More notably, gross margin kept improving QoQ despite weak sell-through, rising 780bps QoQ to 9.3%. That was well above the Street’s 3.4% expectation, driven primarily by higher vehicle GM.
4Q vehicle GM was -7%, up 440bps QoQ; ex carbon credits, vehicle GM was -11%. Lower per-unit variable costs (ongoing cost-downs and easing tariff headwinds) offset ASP pressure and higher per-unit overhead absorption.
With a top-line beat, QoQ margin expansion, and disciplined opex, Adj. EBITDA and net loss both came in better than expected. Both topped estimates.
Beyond the print, investors focused on Rivian’s 2026 guidance. This drew the most attention.
1) Deliveries guided to 62k–67k, up 47%–60% vs. 2025’s 42k. The ramp and launch of R2 in 2026 are the key drivers of the volume uplift.
Dolphin Research notes the market had been cautious on R2 volumes, with IRA subsidy step-downs still weighing on 2026 demand. Major banks were modeling only ~47k–50k units for 2026, so Rivian’s guidance well above that helped ease concerns.
2) Adj. EBITDA guidance of -$1.8bn to -$2.1bn (vs. 2025’s -$2.06bn), below the Street’s -$1.8bn. Likely headwinds include margin drag from R2 during its ramp and increased investment in autonomous/AD capabilities, limiting profit improvement despite higher volumes.
3) Capex guided at $1.95bn–$2.05bn, above 2025’s $1.7bn. The step-up is mainly for the Georgia plant (R2 capacity expansion and R3 production). $Rivian Automotive(RIVN.US)
