Special charges return Stellantis to net loss in third quarter
Stellantis reported a net loss in Q3 due to special charges, with Europe being the only region with negative adjusted operating income. The company reduced its full-year net tariff costs estimate to $1.1 billion. Stellantis expects modest revenue growth over 2025, low-single-digit adjusted operating income margin, and positive cash flow by 2027. The company's turnaround plan, FastLane 2030, aims for $6.8 billion in reductions by 2028.
