We recently published a list of Jim Cramer’s Latest Calls: Top 10 Stocks. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Rivian Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ:RIVN) stands against other top stocks that Jim Cramer discusses.
Jim Cramer recently talked about the impact of tariffs on the US stock market and mentioned some similar events from history.
“We know that the president, who loves tariffs, is now threatening to put tariffs on our trading adversaries that are as high or higher than the fabled Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 — yeah, the one that helped cause the Great Depression. The sellers are not oblivious to history, even with the White House is as they see Trump mimicking legendary president Herbert Hoover, who, despite endless diatribes by economists saying Smoot-Hawley could destroy the economy, championed and signed the bill in the name of — yes — the Working Man, especially the farmers. Exports dropped 60%, and we went into the worst depression in our nation’s history. Hoover regretted it, saying that they should be repealed in 1932 — way too late. I think the comparison is excessive, but you never want to be in the same sentence as Herbert Hoover, should you join the sellers.”
Cramer announced the end of Mag. 7 and said he’s buying low-multiple tech stocks, banks and industrials for his charitable trust.
“I would not jump back into the Magnificent 7 because, as of tonight, there is no mag. Came up with that name, scrapping it right now. No moniker fits the 2 or 3 that remain viable.”

“Rivian Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ:RIVN) is a US-based electric vehicle manufacturer focused on the design, development, and production of electric adventure vehicles, pickup trucks, and commercial delivery vans. We own Rivian because we believe the company is a future leader in the growing electric vehicle market with a strong brand, compelling products, and a vertically integrated business model. During the quarter, Rivian’s stock price was driven by its progress on cost reduction initiatives and management’s stated confidence in achieving positive gross margins by the end of 2024. The recent announcement of a joint venture with Volkswagen, involving up to $5 billion in investment, also significantly boosted Rivian’s financing outlook and validated its technology. We trimmed our position in Rivian given the strong performance in the quarter.”
