Despite positive signs, there are still serious problems at Stellantis.
Stellantis’ second-quarter performance improved significantly, mainly due to the recovery in North American sales. The parent company of Jeep, Peugeot, and Fiat once again generated profits, and industrial free cash flow turned positive. However, operating profit fell short of expectations, and the European business segment remained unprofitable. Furthermore, US tariffs and summer factory shutdowns could negatively affect results in the second half of the year, leading to a significant drop in the company’s stock price after the report.
