(RIVN) shares jumped more than 20% in pre-market trading on Friday, driven by upbeat brokerage reactions to the electric vehicle maker’s stronger-than-expected fourth-quarter results, highlighted by its first-ever quarter of achieving a positive gross margin on a cash basis.The rally signals renewed investor confidence in Rivian’s path to profitability at a time when several legacy automakers appear to be slowing their EV ambitions.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Rivian Delivers Revenue Beat, Margin Milestone</h2>On Thursday, Rivian reported Q4 revenue of $1.29 billion, driven by higher software and services revenue from its joint venture with Volkswagen Group. Wall Street had estimated a revenue of $1.27 billion, according to Fiscal.ai data. The company also reported a loss of $0.66 per share, marginally narrower than the $0.67 per share estimate.<h2 class="st-heading-2">R2 SUV Rollout May Pressure Margins In Short-Term</h2>Rivian said the rollout of its lower-priced R2 SUV is likely to weigh on margins in the first half of 2026 as production ramps up, but is expected to turn into a tailwind by the fourth quarter as manufacturing scales. R2 is expected to become the majority of the company’s vehicle volume by the end of 2027.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Deutsche Bank: Rivian’s 2026 Trajectory Appears De-Risked</h2>Deutsche Bank upgraded Rivian to ‘Buy’ from ‘Hold’ and raised its price target to $23 from $16, according to The Fly.

The firm noted that Rivian’s near-term risk-reward profile now appears more balanced at current levels, compared with its previously bearish view that was partly driven by valuation concerns.UBS added that it remains “excited” about Rivian’s product pipeline and brand strength, and believes the company’s 2026 guidance captures meaningful upside potential while accounting for downside risks.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Did Stocktwits Users React?</h2>Retail sentiment on Stocktwits turned ‘extremely bullish’ from ‘bullish’ a day earlier, amid ‘extremely high’ message volumes. <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/RIVN">RIVN</a> was among the top trending tickers at the time of writing.<figure class="image"><img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/RIVN_jpg_127e3f9b6d.webp" alt="RIVN.jpg" width="928" height="106"><figcaption>RIVN's Sentiment Meter and Message Volumes at Pre-Market on Feb. 13, 2026 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>One bullish user expects 2026 to be Rivian’s breakout year.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Bobky2030/message/644892803</stembedurl>However, another user expects the company to be raising funds urgently over the next couple of years.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/TopazFrenzy/message/644893997</stembedurl>Year-to-date, the stock has shed over 14%.&nbsp;Also read: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/nasdaq-sp500-futures-lower-nvda-aapl-tsla-rivn-mrna-amat-stocks-to-watch/cZR5NHpR4sZ">Nasdaq, S&amp;P 500 Futures Edge Lower Ahead Of CPI Data: Why NVDA, AAPL, TSLA, RIVN, MRNA, AMAT, IREN Are On Traders' Radar Today</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

At the same time, the analyst believes the positive catalysts for its non-auto business are already reflected in the stock price. Emphasizing the importance of the auto business, the analyst said:<blockquote>“While it is well understood that Tesla is more than an auto manufacturer, we believe it will be increasingly challenging to support meaningful upside to Tesla shares barring an improvement, or at least stabilization, within its auto business, which is a key source of funding for its non-auto businesses.”</blockquote>Tesla bull Daniel Ives, however, sees 2026 as a “monster year” for Tesla as the autonomous and robotics chapter begins.&nbsp;<blockquote>“We expect in early 2026 an easing of the federal framework for autonomous vehicles, with more power going to the federal regulators, with states having less authority on the autonomous rules framework likely under an Executive Order.”</blockquote>The analyst expects Tesla to reach a $2 trillion market capitalization by 2026, with a bull-case scenario pointing to as much as $3 trillion by year-end.<h2 class="st-heading-2">What Retail Traders &amp; Analysts Feel About TSLA</h2>Retail sentiment toward the Tesla stock was ‘bearish’ as of early Tuesday, tempering from the bullish mood seen three months ago, when it began gathering some momentum.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:720/443;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_12_30_at_5_24_45_AM_png_773bc87677.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-12-30 at 5.24.45 AM.png" width="720" height="443"></figure>&nbsp;According to Koyfin, the average analyst price target for Tesla’s stock is $399.15, implying more than 13% downside from current levels.

Tesla’s Core EV Business Is Feeling The Heat — What Its Automotive Segment Really Delivered In 2025

Tesla’s stock strength is decoupling from auto fundamentals, with the outperformance now hinging on robotaxis and AI optimism despite a maturing, slowing EV business.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Tesla’s roots in California, from Fremont manufacturing to headquarters, contrast with its current tensions amid Musk’s changed political ideology.</li><li>Wall Street analysts remain skeptical despite investors reposing faith in the stock.&nbsp;</li><li>The stock is on track to scale a fresh record in Wednesday’s session, possibly challenging the $500 psychological resistance.</li></ul>Tesla faces yet another headwind in California, a state that was once its home before Texas, but investors aren’t losing sleep.

In a 2023 complaint filed by the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), alleging false advertisements with respect to “autopilot” and “full self-driving (FSD) capability, the administrative law judge has found that the company’s use of these terms to describe its vehicles’ Advanced Driving Assistance Features (ADAS) is misleading and violates state law. Tesla now has 60 days to either appeal the decision or come into compliance, or face a 30-day suspension of its dealer license, implying it can’t sell its EVs in California for that period.Responding through its North America X handle, Tesla said:<blockquote>“This was a “consumer protection” order about the use of the term “Autopilot” in a case where not one single customer came forward to say there’s a problem.”</blockquote>The company also said sales in California will continue uninterrupted.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Driverless Drive Reignites Tesla Rally</h2>Tesla's California headwind concerns a technology core to its robotaxi ambitions that has fueled the stock’s record run in recent sessions. Earlier this week, a video shared on the X platform, owned by Musk, showed a Model Y driving around the streets of Austin with no driver or passengers, creating a flutter on social media.&nbsp;The stock jumped 3.6% to close at $475.31 on Monday and added 3.07% on Tuesday to hit a new peak of $489.88.<img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Tesla_1_year_stock_trajectory_png_7db265f260.webp" alt="Tesla 1-year stock trajectory.png">Source: Koyfin<h2 class="st-heading-2">Tesla’s Complicated Relationship With California</h2>Tesla and Musk, in particular, have had a&nbsp;chequered history in California. The company’s first EV manufacturing plant was established in Fremont, California, which it acquired from the GM/Toyota joint venture named “New United Motor Manufacturing” in 2010. This plant served as a manufacturing hub that produced the Model S, 3, X, and Y vehicles. The state also served as the company’s headquarters before it relocated to Austin, Texas, in 2021.&nbsp; Even after the move, Tesla established its engineering headquarters in Palo Alto, a tech hub, in early 2023.Tesla’s early days in California proved to be a strategic decision to capitalize on the state’s massive auto market. According to separate forecasts from the S&amp;P Global and the California New Car Dealers Association, new vehicle sales in California (based on registrations) are expected to be 1.79 million units in 2025, accounting for roughly 11% of the estimated total vehicle sales of 16.15 million units in the U.S.The incentive to focus on California was also due to the stricter zero-emission norms in place in the state, which envisaged a ban on new gas cars by 2035. Since then, they have been relaxed. In June, President Donald Trump signed a joint resolution to cancel the state’s EV mandate and similar norms adopted by 17 other states.But Musk’s bonhomie with California suffered a setback as the state became less business-friendly with its relatively high taxation, stringent regulations, and high housing costs. According to Intuit, California has the highest income tax rate among the states, at 13.3%, followed by Hawaii and New York. The state's corporate income tax rate of 8.84% is among the&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://stripe.com/resources/more/which-states-have-low-corporate-tax-rates">highest</a> in the country.<img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/top_marginal_state_individual_income_tax_rates_as_of_january_1_2025_png_dc0065fae4.webp" alt="top-marginal-state-individual-income-tax-rates-as-of-january-1-2025-.png">Source: Tax FoundationCalifornia is the most regulated state with 420,434 regulatory restrictions in 2023, according to a report released by the Mercatus Center of George Mason University in Aug. 2024.<img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_12_17_at_4_10_25_AM_png_464b6c3eda.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-12-17 at 4.10.25 AM.png">&nbsp;Source: Mercatus CenterMusk has had his run-ins with the state. When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, a year after the company launched its hugely successful Model Y vehicle, the state was among those that had imposed the most stringent restrictions. Tesla was asked to halt production at its Fremont facility in March 2020. Even as Alameda County, where the factory is located, continued stricter restrictions through May, Musk defied the orders and reopened the factory, and also filed a lawsuit against the county. Although the issue was resolved later, it served as a significant motivation for Musk to look elsewhere.&nbsp;The billionaire's relationship with the state’s Democratic Governor, Gavin Newsom, also soured as he shifted his political allegiance to the Republican Party. Coming down hard on the governor and the state, Musk said in a X post last year:<blockquote>“The only thing stopping the California government and overbearing regulatory agencies from being even worse is that people and companies can move out of state.”</blockquote>The state machinery also turned&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/10/10/california-reject-musk-spacex-00183371">hostile</a> toward Musk and his business ventures, including limiting SpaceX’s rocket launches from Vandenberg Air Force Base in Santa Barbara County.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Many EVs Does Tesla Sell in California?</h2>Tesla registrations in the state have declined year over year (YoY) for eight straight quarters. Citing data from Experian and the CNCDA, Tesla registrations totaled 52,114 in the third quarter of 2025, a 9.6% YoY drop. The 52,114 number made up 10.5% of the company’s total EV sales in the U.S. in Q3.The sales were down for seven straight quarters, ahead of the Q3 drop. The only consolation is the sequential increase and a more modest YoY decline.<img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_12_17_at_4_47_53_AM_png_8860440f1e.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-12-17 at 4.47.53 AM.png">Source: CNCDA via Reuters<h2 class="st-heading-2">What Retail Feels About Tesla Stock</h2>Sentiment toward Tesla among Stocktwits users has improved to ‘extremely bullish’ as of early Wednesday,&nbsp;even as the stock trades near all-time highs, despite shaky fundamentals.

Tesla’s War With California Is Getting Ugly — Yet Investors Can’t Quit The Robotaxi Story

Tesla’s long-simmering tensions with California have flared again after state regulators ruled its Autopilot and Full Self-Driving marketing misleading, threatening sales restrictions.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Deliveries remain below the level needed to revive revenue, and margins have slid from nearly 17% to under 5%.</li><li>Even longtime bulls are cautious as Tesla trades at 220× forward earnings and well above long-range EBITDA estimates.</li><li>Investor hopes now rest on robotaxi progress, but retail sentiment is muted and engagement remains low. &nbsp;</li></ul>Tesla entered the year with all the makings of a blockbuster comeback. After Donald Trump's election win in 2024, investors were convinced the EV giant would ride a wave of political tailwinds — helped, in no small part, by the extraordinary support CEO Elon Musk had thrown behind the Republican ticket. But things did not go as smoothly as expected.Musk spent an estimated $288 million to help elect Trump and other GOP candidates, according to a Washington Post analysis, making him the largest individual donor of the entire 2024 cycle. Confidence in Tesla soared.But that optimism evaporated almost as quickly as it formed. Soon after the election, Musk was pulled into the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a high-profile initiative aimed at slashing federal waste. For Tesla shareholders, the optics were alarming: Musk was spending long stretches in Washington rather than at the company's Austin headquarters, all while his increasingly contentious political commentary — including vocal support for far-right European parties — began weighing heavily on Tesla's global brand.Sales slid. Boycotts intensified. Protesters even torched vehicles. The stock followed suit, crashing from its all-time intraday high of $488.54 on Dec. 17 — in the euphoria immediately following Trump's victory — to $214.25 by April 7.Rattled by the reaction, Musk abruptly exited DOGE to refocus on Tesla, briefly calming markets. But stability didn't last. The White House's sweeping "One Big Beautiful" tax and spending bill delivered a decisive blow, effectively ending the Biden-era EV credits of up to $7,500 and piling on fresh pressure from Trump's aggressive tariff blitz. Musk blasted the bill, prompting a very public and very bitter feud with Trump — a development that only deepened investor anxiety.Still, Musk found a way to reignite optimism among his fanbase. He doubled down on Full Self-Driving upgrades, new Optimus demonstrations, and steady progress on Robotaxis, pushing a narrative that Tesla's next era — powered by autonomy, AI, and humanoid robots — would unlock massive long-term value.He also secured a historic trillion-dollar pay package, contingent on extremely ambitious milestones. The approval gave investors one critical reassurance: Musk, after months of distraction, would now be more committed to Tesla's future than ever before.<h2 class="st-heading-2">It’s Been A Bad 2025 For TSLA</h2>Even so, the stock spent the year whipsawing violently — deep in the red for months, clawing its way back into positive territory, and still on track for its weakest annual performance since 2022, when shares collapsed 65% as inflation-induced economic uncertainty tipped the market into bear territory.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/TSLA">&nbsp;Tesla’s stock</a> is up merely 12.7% this year, underperforming the<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">&nbsp;SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY)</a>, which is up 17% year-to-date (YTD),&nbsp;and the worst performer among the “Magnificent Seven” list.<img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Tesla_revenue_png_fe5b098f33.webp" alt="Tesla revenue.png">Source: Koyfin<h2 class="st-heading-2">Why Did Tesla Stutter In 2025?</h2>Tesla’s revenue, which received a big boost in 2021 following the Model Y launch, began to slow down subsequently. Annual revenue nearly flatlined at around $97K in 2023 and 2024, and the trailing 12-month revenue for 2025 shows a 2.1% year-over-year decline.<img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Tesla_Revenue_Since_2019_png_a45160ff13.webp" alt="Tesla_Revenue_Since_2019.png">Source: Fiscal.aiThe revenue stagnation is a function of slack delivery numbers. Deliveries for the nine months this year totaled 1.22 million. The magic number for Tesla to resume YoY revenue growth is 568,917. It should be noted that the company has not yet&nbsp;exceeded 500,000 in&nbsp;quarterly deliveries.<img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Tesla_Annual_Deliveries_jpg_599aa3a14c.webp" alt="Tesla_Annual_Deliveries.jpg">Source: Fiscal.aiAutomotive regulatory credits, which the government awards to companies for producing zero emissions and can be sold to other automakers seeking to comply with the norms, boost the company’s revenue and profits.

In a note released Sunday, Morgan Stanley analyst Andrew Percoco downgraded Tesla stock to ‘Equal Weight’ from ‘Overweight’ but upped the price target to $425 from $410, The Fly reported. Percoco concedes that Tesla would become a market leader across autonomous mobility, renewable energy, and robotics, but he is uncomfortable with the valuation.Morgan Stanley now awaits a better entry point, given that the stock is trading at 30-times estimated 2030 EBITDA and there is potential downside to consensus estimates in the near term. The firm’s 2026 volume forecast for Tesla is now 13% below consensus, reflecting its more cautious outlook on the EV industry.The research firm also believes Tesla's "non-auto catalyst path" is already priced into the shares.According to the Future Funds’ Gary Black, the major catalyst for the stock now is the removal of safety monitors in all Robotaxis, which would signal an imminent scale-up. He noted that Musk has hinted that this could be accomplished in Austin by year-end.&nbsp;Of the 47 analysts covering the stock, 20 have ‘Buy’ or ‘Strong Buy’ ratings and 10 analysts have either ‘Sell’ or ‘Strong Sell’ ratings, while 17 remain on the sidelines, according to Koyfin. The average price target ($392.93) suggests roughly 14% downside from current levels.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment toward the stock was ‘neutral’ as of early Monday, and the message volume on the stream was ‘extremely low.’ In premarket trading, the stock traded down by more than 1%.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/why-ibm-may-want-confluent-3-charts-reveal-ai-play-s-promise/cLIYjkHREll">Why IBM May Want Confluent So Badly: 3 Charts Reveal AI Play's Promise</a>
