Stellantis N.V. Q3 FY25 Earnings Analysis

- Commitment to gradual, sequential improvement quarter-by-quarter in all key business KPIs, including volumes and shipments (Page 11). - Second half 2025 expected to see stepped-up production, volume growth, and better pricing, especially in the U.S., supported by diminishing pre-tariff vehicle inventory and stronger industry dynamics (Page 11). - New product launches like the Jeep Cherokee, Dodge Charger ICE, and Hemi V8 expected to drive volume and revenue growth in the U.S. from H2 2025 onward (Pages 4-5). - Expansion with 10 new products and several refreshes in 2025, including 3 STLA Medium products in Europe, aiming to boost market coverage and accelerate sales (Page 4). - Fleet sales strategy revamped for higher-margin segments (commercial, governmental) to recover and grow fleet volumes (Page 11). - Inventory discipline and healthier order books underpin growth potential (Pages 4, 10). - Expectation of revenue increase and AOI margin improvement in H2 2025, with industrial free cash flow improving vs. H1 (Page 3).
