Stellantis forecasts growth in 2025 after sharp earnings drop in 2024

by February 26, 2025

Stellantis, the multinational auto giant behind Dodge, Jeep, Fiat, Chrysler, and Peugeot, expects to return to growth in 2025 after a sharp decline in its 2024 earnings.

The company posted a full-year net profit of €5.5 billion ($5.77 billion), a steep 70% drop from the €18.6 billion recorded in 2023.

The downturn is attributed to weaker North American sales, intensifying competition in China, and slowing global demand for new vehicles.

With a leadership shakeup expected in the coming months and a renewed focus on electric vehicles (EVs) and multi-energy platforms, Stellantis aims to restore profitability and strengthen its market position.

Stellantis’ weak sales and EV transition

Stellantis’ disappointing 2024 financial performance was driven by a mix of regional and industry-wide challenges.

In North America, which accounts for a significant share of the company’s revenue, slowing consumer demand and supply chain issues pressured margins.

The automaker had already issued a profit warning in September, flagging weaker-than-expected sales across most of its global markets.

China, the world’s largest auto market, posed further hurdles. Stellantis has struggled to gain traction in the region, facing intense competition from domestic manufacturers that dominate the EV sector.

With local players benefiting from government incentives and aggressive pricing strategies, foreign automakers like Stellantis have faced difficulties securing market share.

The broader shift towards EVs and new energy vehicles (NEVs) has also tested the company’s adaptability. Although Stellantis has been expanding its EV production, including battery joint ventures, the transition remains capital-intensive.

The company’s adjusted operating income margin for 2024 fell to between 5.5% and 7%, a notable decline from its earlier double-digit target.

Leadership change and cost cuts at Stellantis

The company is in the midst of a leadership transition following the sudden departure of CEO Carlos Tavares in late 2024.

Stellantis has announced plans to appoint a new chief executive within the first half of 2025, with Chairman John Elkann currently leading an interim executive committee.

Elkann has emphasized that the company is focused on regaining market share and improving financial performance. Stellantis has also introduced several strategic initiatives to enhance its profitability.

The rollout of new multi-energy platforms and expanded production of EV batteries through joint ventures are key pillars of its turnaround plan.

The company has been adjusting its pricing strategies and cost structure to remain competitive. Despite a challenging year, Stellantis’ Milan-listed shares have gained over 7% year-to-date, reflecting investor confidence in its long-term strategy.

Stellantis’ 2025 recovery plan

Stellantis expects to return to revenue growth and positive cash generation in 2025. While challenges persist, the company is banking on a commercial recovery and increased efficiency across its operations.

With a renewed focus on multi-energy vehicle production and partnerships like the Leapmotor International venture, Stellantis aims to strengthen its global footprint.

Industry uncertainties remain. The global automotive sector continues to grapple with fluctuating demand, supply chain disruptions, and evolving regulatory landscapes.

Stellantis’ ability to navigate these headwinds while executing its turnaround strategy will determine its performance in the year ahead.
