Stellantis (NYSE:STLA) Releases Earnings Results, Misses Expectations By $0.13 EPS

Stellantis (NYSE:STLA) issued its quarterly earnings results on Thursday. The company reported $0.14 EPS for the quarter, missing the consensus estimate of $0.27 by ($0.13), FiscalAI reports. The firm had revenue of $49.63 billion for the quarter, compared to analyst estimates of $48.92 billion.

Here are the key takeaways from Stellantis’ conference call:

• Stellantis reported significant year-over-year improvement in Q2: net revenue rose 13% to €43.5 billion, adjusted operating income increased €560 million to €773 million, and industrial free cash flow reached positive €1 billion. Management reaffirmed its 2026 guidance and expectation for positive industrial free cash flow in 2027.
• North America continued to recover, with sales up 6% and market share up 40 basis points, while regional AOI improved by €724 million to €284 million. Ram, Chrysler Pacifica and Jeep Grand Wagoneer contributed to growth, and management expects further benefits from new products and improved pricing.
• The company reported strong progress on its Value Creation Program, with manufacturing efficiency improving substantially and purchasing, logistics and warranty costs declining. Stellantis expects 40% of identified initiatives to be implemented by year-end, contributing to €2.4 billion of AOI benefits in 2027 and a €6 billion annual run-rate reduction by 2028.
• Product launches and partnerships are supporting growth: European BEV sales increased 20% year over year, Leapmotor sales in Europe increased sixfold, and new products such as the Ram 1500 TRX SRT, Jeep Recon BEV and Grand Wagoneer REV are expected to improve volume and mix.
• Profitability remains under pressure from European pricing, raw-material inflation, tariffs and foreign-exchange headwinds, while North American margins have not yet shown strong operating leverage despite higher shipments. Inventory rose 20% year over year, and second-half cash flow will face summer shutdowns, higher investment spending and approximately €1 billion of additional raw-material and tariff-related headwinds.
