Stellantis NV Chairman John Elkann recently told investors that 2025 would be a period of stabilization. For the beleaguered automaker, it’s turning out to be anything but.
Potential Trump tariffs pose a significant threat to Stellantis, impacting profitability and sales. Stellantis faces challenges including falling stock prices, a CEO search, and lackluster profits. The company is particularly vulnerable due to its high import volume and a recent debt downgrade. While Stellantis may try to mitigate the impact through price increases or shifting assembly to the US, tariffs could still lead to reduced sales and profitability.
