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.
電動汽車(EV)革命正在如火如荼地進行--但如果你擁有Rivian汽車(納斯達克：RIVN)股票。不幸的是，這家汽車製造商的財務表現包括一些令人失望的數據點。
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股票今年的表現並不強勁。另一方面，與德國汽車巨頭的合作梅賽德斯-奔馳場外交易代碼：DMLRY)可能會給絕望的人帶來一些希望，因為Rivian的忠實股東正在等待他們扭虧為盈的時刻。
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.
有一點是肯定的：Rivian是市場上最有趣、最雄心勃勃的電動汽車初創公司之一。該公司的車輛外形美觀，動力強勁，單次充電續航里程令人印象深刻。此外，Rivian正在建設一個快速充電地點網絡，甚至準備建造一個大型風力渦輪機。
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.
不過，正如我們將看到的那樣，今年繼續投資Rivian並非易事。不過，當這家電動汽車製造商開始組建一家前景看好的合資企業時，你可能會考慮坐上面包車--也就是電動麪包車--與Rivian一起乘車，尋找潛在的收益。
RIVN Stock Is Tough to Love
RIVN股票很難被愛
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.
可以説，RIVN股票正在考驗投資者在2022年的耐心。令人失望的是，新浪Rivian的股價在2021年末曾超過每股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.
復甦之路將是漫長的。Rivian的投資者暫時沒有太多正面的財務數據來提振他們的信心。
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.
不過，Rivian 2022年第二季度收益報告中有一個無可爭辯的亮點。具體來説，該公司的現金、現金等價物和限制性現金從2021年6月30日的38.57億美元躍升至一年後的154.63億美元。
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，至少有這一點。然而，Rivian不斷改善的資本狀況並不能否認該公司仍未盈利的事實。事實上，Rivian的淨收益虧損從2021年第二季度的5.8億美元擴大到2022年第二季度的17.09億美元。
Clearly, this bottom-line trajectory isn't sustainable over the long term. What could possibly put Rivian back on track, then?
顯然，從長遠來看，這種底線軌跡是不可持續的。那麼，有什麼可能讓Rivian重回正軌呢？
Electric Van Deal Could Get Investors Excited Again
電動麪包車交易可能再次讓投資者興奮
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.
隨着Rivian宣佈與梅賽德斯-奔馳成立合資企業，受壓迫的里昂證券股東終於得到了亟需的一劑強心針。AS布隆伯格用它的話説，Rivian與一個新的友敵達成了一筆交易，同時迅速使這家電動汽車製造商的市值增加了近30億美元。
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."
在這項引人注目的交易中，兩家汽車製造商將“為梅賽德斯-奔馳和Rivian生產定製的大型電動麪包車”。不僅如此，Rivian還調侃了探索“進一步增強合資企業協同效應的選擇”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，除了共同製造定製電動麪包車之外，Rivian和梅賽德斯-奔馳之間可能還會有進一步的合作。Rivian的新聞稿沒有具體説明，但聲明稱，兩家公司將“在幾年內在歐洲建立一家工廠，生產大型電動麪包車…”。
What You Can Do Now
你現在能做什麼
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.
令人興奮的是，在“幾年內”，Rivian可以在歐洲電動貨車市場站穩腳跟。有梅賽德斯-奔馳這樣的汽車巨頭作為合作伙伴肯定會讓這件事變得更容易。
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的股東有一些可以掛帽的東西。到目前為止，2022年的道路是坎坷的。梅賽德斯-奔馳的合作時間框架有些模糊，但至少可以為Rivian的投資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，在理解收益可能暫時不會到來的情況下，持有Rivian的少量頭寸並不是沒有道理的。
