Jim Cramer on Rivian: “It Looks Like They’re Going to Make It”

Rivian Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ:RIVN) was among Jim Cramer’s latest stock calls, as he suggested investors balance portfolios with hot and cold stocks. A caller asked if Cramer is “warming up to it,” and he replied:

That last quarter was good. I was surprised… It looks like they’re going to make it, and if they’re going to make it, then the stock goes higher. By the way, I’m going to give you a twofer, I like Tesla today. Okay, those who don’t like Tesla, they can come see me, and…. Those are the same people who’ll probably short Intel.

Rivian Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ:RIVN) manufactures electric vehicles and provides related software, charging, and maintenance services. When a caller asked Cramer about the company on December 22, 2025, he said:

Look, I’m a balance sheet guy. This has had a major, major move. It’s been terrific. I think some of it is a short squeeze. There’s a very big short. I want you to take some off the table and then let the rest run because in the end, I care more about maintaining gains when it comes to the heavily speculative stocks that are losing a lot of money. Let’s take some off the table, rest run.
