The electric vehicle (EV) revolution is in full swing – but you might not feel this way if you own Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) stock. The automaker's financial performance, unfortunately, includes some disappointing data points.
电动汽车(EV)革命正在如火如荼地进行--但如果你拥有Rivian汽车(纳斯达克：RIVN)股票。不幸的是，这家汽车制造商的财务表现包括一些令人失望的数据点。
Furthermore, RIVN stock hasn't been a strong performer this year. On the other hand, a tie-in with German automotive giant Mercedes-Benz (OTCMKTS:DMLRY) could provide some hope for the hopeless as Rivian's loyal shareholders await their turnaround moment.
此外，RIVN股票今年的表现并不强劲。另一方面，与德国汽车巨头的合作梅赛德斯-奔驰场外交易代码：DMLRY)可能会给绝望的人带来一些希望，因为Rivian的忠实股东正在等待他们扭亏为盈的时刻。
One thing's for sure: Rivian is among the most interesting and ambitious EV startups on the market. The company's vehicles are sleek and powerful, with impressive single-charge driving ranges. Moreover, Rivian is building out a network of fast-charging locations and is even preparing to build a large-scale wind turbine.
有一点是肯定的：Rivian是市场上最有趣、最雄心勃勃的电动汽车初创公司之一。该公司的车辆外形美观，动力强劲，单次充电续航里程令人印象深刻。此外，Rivian正在建设一个快速充电地点网络，甚至准备建造一个大型风力涡轮机。
Still, as we'll see, staying invested in Rivian this year hasn't been easy. As the EV maker embarks on a promising joint venture, though, you might consider getting in the van – the electric van, that is – and riding along with Rivian for potential gains.
不过，正如我们将看到的那样，今年继续投资Rivian并非易事。不过，当这家电动汽车制造商开始组建一家前景看好的合资企业时，你可能会考虑坐上面包车--也就是电动面包车--与Rivian一起乘车，寻找潜在的收益。
RIVN Stock Is Tough to Love
RIVN股票很难被爱
Suffice it to say that RIVN stock is testing the investors' patience in 2022. Disappointingly, Rivian shares traded above $170 in late 2021 but recently dipped into the $30s.
可以说，RIVN股票正在考验投资者在2022年的耐心。令人失望的是，新浪Rivian的股价在2021年末曾超过每股170美元，但最近跌至每股30多美元。
The road to recovery will be a long one. For the time being, Rivian's investors don't have much positive financial data to boost their confidence.
复苏之路将是漫长的。Rivian的投资者暂时没有太多正面的财务数据来提振他们的信心。
There is one indisputable bright spot in Rivian's second-quarter 2022 earnings report, though. Specifically, the company's cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash jumped from $3.857 billion as of June 30, 2021, to $15.463 billion a year later.
不过，Rivian 2022年第二季度收益报告中有一个无可争辩的亮点。具体来说，该公司的现金、现金等价物和限制性现金从2021年6月30日的38.57亿美元跃升至一年后的154.63亿美元。
So, at least there's that. However, Rivian's improving capital position doesn't negate the fact that the company remains unprofitable. Indeed, Rivian's net earnings loss widened from $580 million in 2021's second quarter to $1.709 billion in Q2 of 2022.
所以，至少有这一点。然而，Rivian不断改善的资本状况并不能否认该公司仍未盈利的事实。事实上，Rivian的净收益亏损从2021年第二季度的5.8亿美元扩大到2022年第二季度的17.09亿美元。
Clearly, this bottom-line trajectory isn't sustainable over the long term. What could possibly put Rivian back on track, then?
显然，从长远来看，这种底线轨迹是不可持续的。那么，有什么可能让Rivian重回正轨呢？
Electric Van Deal Could Get Investors Excited Again
电动面包车交易可能再次让投资者兴奋
Finally, downtrodden RIVN stockholders got a much-needed shot in the arm as Rivian announced a joint venture with Mercedes-Benz. As Bloomberg put it, Rivian made a "deal with a new frenemy" while quickly adding nearly $3 billion to the EV maker's market capitalization.
随着Rivian宣布与梅赛德斯-奔驰成立合资企业，受压迫的里昂证券股东终于得到了亟需的一剂强心针。AS布隆伯格用它的话说，Rivian与一个新的友敌达成了一笔交易，同时迅速使这家电动汽车制造商的市值增加了近30亿美元。
In this headline-grabbing deal, the two automakers will "produce bespoke" (i.e., custom-made) "large electric vans for Mercedes-Benz and for Rivian." Not only that, but Rivian teased the possibility of exploring "further options for increased synergies from the joint venture."
在这项引人注目的交易中，两家汽车制造商将“为梅赛德斯-奔驰和Rivian生产定制的大型电动面包车”。不仅如此，Rivian还调侃了探索“进一步增强合资企业协同效应的选择”的可能性。
Thus, even beyond building customized electric vans together, there may be further collaborations between Rivian and Mercedes-Benz. Rivian's press release lacks specificity, but it does state that the two companies will set up "a factory in Europe to produce large electric vans … starting in a few years."
因此，除了共同制造定制电动面包车之外，Rivian和梅赛德斯-奔驰之间可能还会有进一步的合作。Rivian的新闻稿没有具体说明，但声明称，两家公司将“在几年内在欧洲建立一家工厂，生产大型电动面包车…”。
What You Can Do Now
你现在能做什么
It's exciting to consider that, in a "few years," Rivian could establish a foothold in Europe's electric van market. Having an automotive giant like Mercedes-Benz as a partner will certainly make this easier.
令人兴奋的是，在“几年内”，Rivian可以在欧洲电动货车市场站稳脚跟。有梅赛德斯-奔驰这样的汽车巨头作为合作伙伴肯定会让这件事变得更容易。
So, at least RIVN stockholders have something to hang their hats on. It's been a bumpy ride in 2022 so far. The Mercedes-Benz partnership has a somewhat murky time frame, but at least it can provide some hope fuel for Rivian's investors.
因此，至少RIVN的股东有一些可以挂帽的东西。到目前为止，2022年的道路是坎坷的。梅赛德斯-奔驰的合作时间框架有些模糊，但至少可以为Rivian的投资者提供一些希望的燃料。
Therefore, it's not unreasonable to hold a small position in Rivian shares, with the understanding that the gains might not come for a while.
因此，在理解收益可能暂时不会到来的情况下，持有Rivian的少量头寸并不是没有道理的。
