-- CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:
Stellantis returned to profitability in Q1 2026 with adjusted operating income margin improving 160 bps to 2.5%, supported by a EUR800M AOI recovery in North America, where U.S. sales rose 4% against an industry decline. Industrial FCF improved by EUR1.1B as four of five regions contributed positive results, reflecting stronger operating performance and disciplined capital allocation. Commercial momentum stems from aggressive product renewal, including new Jeep Cherokee and Dodge Charger SIXPACK launches, plus 100,000-unit HEMI V8 production boost targeting richer sales mix. Management confirmed 2026 guidance of mid-single-digit revenue growth and low-single-digit AOI margin, expecting sequential improvement as new products reach full availability. With strategic reset transitioning to execution phase, new strategy to be unveiled at the May 21 Investor Day, and inventory build aligned with launches, Stellantis is positioned for progressive performance gains toward positive industrial free cash flow in 2027.
