Rivian (RIVN) Q3 2025 earnings results beat revenue estimates on smaller loss than expected

The Rivian company faced layoffs in Q3 2025, but was also able to sell more vehicles than expected on a surge from the ending EV credit.

Another quarter ended this week for electric vehicle company Rivian (RIVN), which recently ended its Q3 2025 and announced its results for the quarter. The company did better than expected on its bottom line metrics, beating on revenue and posting a smaller earnings-per-share (EPS) loss than expected.

Rivian posted up its Q3 2025 earnings results on its investor relations website this week. For its revenue, Rivian put up $1.56 billion, which was enough to overcome the $1.5 billion estimate expected by Wall Street. Meanwhile, over in EPS, Rivian put up a total loss of $0.65 per share, which was better than the $0.72 losses per share expected by Wall Street and the $0.79 losses per share expected by Whisper Number.

The Rivian company isn’t shy about admitting what put it over the top in Q3 2025. It was an increased buy rate from customers who were trying to get in on the EV tax credit before it ran out. It helped Q3 shake out to $1.14 billion in automotive sale, compared to $0.77 billion in Q3 2024. Rivian only briefly credits a higher average selling price for the quarter. The company outright states that it believes Q3 2025 will be its highest vehicle delivery period of the year.
