The automotive giant Stellantis announced on Monday that it had accused a net loss of 2.3 billion euros in the first half of 2025, according to still preliminary results. The group says it is penalized by the decline of its sales in Europe and the United States, and victim of the charges linked to the end of certain models.
In the first half of 2024, the Franco-Italian-American group with fifteen brands (Peugeot, Fiat, Chrysler) had a net profit of 5.6 billion euros, already in sharp drop (-48%) compared to the record level of 2023.
Over the first six months of the year, Stellantis achieved a turnover of 74.3 billion euros, according to the group’s press release, a withdrawal of 12.5% compared to the same period of 2024.
Among the factors explaining this loss, the group quotes “temporary production judgments practiced at the beginning of the quarter in response to new customs tariffs in North America” and “the transition of the product product in enlarged Europe, where several important models are either in the rise in cadence after their recent launches”.
The volume of vehicles delivered to dealers fell 6% in the second quarter of 2025, to 1.45 million vehicles.
Positive effects expected
The group also indicates that “measures taken to improve performance and profitability, with in particular new products” are still at the “preliminary stage” and “should generate greater positive effects during the second half of 2025.
“About 3.3 billion euros in net charges before taxes, mainly linked to programs cancellation courses and platform depreciations” have also weighed.
Stellantis had already suspended his financial forecasts on April 30, due to the uncertainty created by the taxation of American customs duties. The financial results of the second half will be published “as planned” on July 29, the statement said.
Stellantis shareholders very widely validated the appointment of Italian Antonio Filosa on Friday at the head of the manufacturer, during an extraordinary general meeting.
