Stellantis N.V.

Stellantis reported a net loss of €453 million in the third quarter after a profitable first half, while operating income before interest, taxes and special items was €256 million with a margin of 0.7%. Around €4 billion of free cash flowed out of the industrial business; CEO Antonio Filosa does not expect a return to positive free cash from operations until 2027. Revenue rose slightly to €37.6 billion, vehicle sales fell about 1% to just under 1.3 million units, and management confirmed the full-year forecast. The stock climbed around 14% but remains substantially down year to date; heavy write-downs and costs from the strategic course correction on electric vehicles in the U.S. are weighing on results. » Más en finanzen.net

Stellantis plans to use spare production capacity in Europe by manufacturing for Chinese partners Leapmotor and Dongfeng rather than by closing plants. Specific projects are under way in Spain (Figueruelas, Villaverde) and are being discussed for Rennes in France; many agreements so far are non-binding and require feasibility studies and approvals. The group also stresses the need for additional battery factories and points to low utilization in Europe (currently around 46% of a 6.5 million capacity) and a strategy to reduce capacity by more than 800,000 vehicles by 2030. » Más en heise.de
