He has surprised firms, financial markets, and governments by imposing successive waves of new tariffs on nearly all imports from almost all countries. The Supreme Court struck down his so-called reciprocal tariffs as unconstitutional in February. He followed that ruling by announcing temporary tariffs that expired on July 24, the same day he ordered new tariffs that he said would combat forced labor. Given these policy shifts, US corporate executives could be expected to discuss policy changes in their quarterly earnings calls with analysts, investors, and the media. Corporate…

Rivian Automotive (RIVN +0.89%) remains one of my favorite growth stocks on the market today. Many investors still value the company as an EV stock. In reality, however, I think the company should be valued as an AI stock. That’s because Rivian is attempting to transform its business to take maximum advantage of its biggest growth opportunities. Building electric vehicles can be a profitable business. Just look at what Tesla accomplished despite having a fairly limited lineup. But the future of transportation will look very different than today. McKinsey & Co. recently surveyed more than 90 industry insiders to see…
