Stellantis has reported its financial results for the first half of 2025, and let’s just say—it’s been a rough ride. The company posted a net loss of €2.3 billion ($2.5 billion USD), a dramatic swing from the €5.6 billion ($6.1 billion USD) profit it recorded in the same period last year. With net revenues of €74.3 billion ($80.5 billion USD), down 13% from H1 2024, the company’s financial hit is being blamed on a mix of headwinds: tariffs, weak markets, and production gaps due to discontinued models.

Despite the downturn, new CEO Antonio Filosa remains optimistic, stating, “2025 is turning out to be a tough year, but also one of gradual improvement. Signs of progress are evident when comparing H1 2025 to H2 2024, in the form of improved volumes, net revenues, and AOI, despite intensifying external headwinds.”

 
Ouch! I expected this, though. Just make good quality product that people want and things will turn around. I believe things are headed in the right direction but.... I have to take a wait and see approach to anything this company promises.
 
Quality, pricing, products

Ram warranty announcement speaks to potential improvements in quality, but we will have to wait and see.
Pricing is being worked on.
Products are coming™
 
Dear Stellantis Board Members,
Is the problem the customers aren't buying or is it you're not selling? The marketing in North America would be the worst ever, but right now Jaguar owns that trophy. Since that brand is nearly dead, your legacy North American brand nameplates will soon inherit that prize. "Go woke, go broke" is not a political slogan, it is a statement of fact.

On a personal note, I have had enough experience with the neighbor electric vehicle lifestyle to appreciate Fiat's and Free2Move's investigation to possibly bring the Topolino to our market. Let me clarify something for you. When the Leap Motors rep tells the board "You people ought to look into NEVs." he means new energy vehicles, which is the Chinese expression for extended range electric vehicles and plugin electric vehicles. I recognize the term NEV can be confusing, but I have to wonder why you bought into Leap if you're not going to learn anything from them.

While I'm on the topic of electrification, I can't believe how badly you have messed up on hybrids. Right now Toyota has waiting lists on some of their hybrid vehicles and I suspect there are more people on the lists for Toyota's compact hybrid models than the total sales of the Dodge Hornet. Maybe you could look into what makes Toyota hybrids so popular. I'll give you a hint. it's not just the technology, but also the continuous improvement process and marketing strategies. How long has the PHEV Pacifica been on the market without an update on the hybrid system?

Potential customers are also frustrated waiting for new products. It has been a long time since the Ramcharger's announcement and an actual start of production. While I'm glad to see some progress on the hybrid drive efforts, much more is needed. Feel free to post here if you have any questions.

Sincerely,
patfromigh
 
Well next year sales are going to EXPLODE. Between the emissions rollbacks, and the interest rates dropping after the current Fed Reserve Chair is gone, I expect car and truck sales to blow up in 2026.

It's a great time to be American again. Let's take a deep breath and enjoy it while it lasts.
