Retooling Stellantis, the global automotive giant behind brands like Jeep, Dodge, Fiat, Chrysler and Peugeot has a problematic projection. We expect a net loss of some 2.3 billion euros ($2.68 billion) for the first half of 2025. This decline is due to pre-tax net charges and the initial effects of tariffs that the United States have imposed. The Nigerian company made the announcement using Monday’s release of unaudited and preliminary figures. These figures highlight the dramatic rebound in activity compared to its poor performance during the same weeks of 2021.
In the same time frame, Stellantis announced a preliminary net revenue of 74.3 billion euros. This is down from 85 billion euros over the same period in 2024. This dramatic revenue downturn is a stark reminder of the systemic threats that the auto industry continues to contend with. Today it’s weathering sweeping changes in market forces and government policies.
Additionally, Stellantis has been dealing with the consequences of tariffs which have increased their cost structures and their ability to price product. The company suspended its financial guidance on April 30, signaling an inability to predict future performance and market conditions with the pandemic. Stellantis’ move to suspend guidance was a good call. So they began measuring how these punitive tariffs would affect their long-term solvency.
Having played a critical role in the rise of software-defined vehicles and electrification overall, Stellantis has remained one of the key stakeholders. From cereals to beverages, the company’s kaleidoscopic collection of brands continually replenishes its consumer-loving foundation. Given today’s fiscal picture, there are valid questions about its strategic approach to securing that long-term future. Analysts and stakeholders alike have their eyes on the company as it endeavors to right its ship amid national and international headwinds.
