Is Embraced by Investors Looking for Another Tesla By Peter Eavis and Neal E. Boudette Rivian, an electric-vehicle maker that has been around for over a decade, finally got around to delivering a product this year—156 pickup trucks—and nearly all went to its employees. In the first day of trading after its initial public offering, Rivians stock jumped 29 percent, putting its market value at $86 billion—in line with G.M.s and higher than Fords. The fevered buying did not come out of nowhere. The stock market is up 25 percent this year, even with the pandemics disruptions. But investors also increasingly believe that the market for electric cars will be enormous—and, for now, they are happy to bet big on companies in the sector that show promise and appear to have credible leadership. But Rivian is a long way from proving that it can vastly ramp up its production lines. And a failure to expand fast could shake investors confidence, hurting its financial prospects. On the consumer side, Rivian faces competition not just from Tesla but also from automakers that have much experience with mass production. To some analysts, investors are just throwing money at whats hot, and not doing enough to discern which companies are actually strong. But Mr. MacDuffie, a Wharton professor, said he believed there was enough potential growth in the electric vehicle market for many companies to succeed. 【词汇过关】 请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。 1.IPO______________________ 2.embrace [?m?bre?s] vt. ______________________ 3.jump [d??mp] vt. ______________________ 4.fevered [?fi?v?d] adj. ______________________ 5.enormous [??n??m?s] adj.______________________ 6.credible [?kred?bl] adj. ______________________ 7.expand [?k?sp?nd] vt. __________________
