On February 6, 2026, Stellantis shares fell $2.26 per share, a decline of approximately 23.69%, closing at $7.28. The lead plaintiff deadline is June 8, 2026.
February 26, 2025 — Optimistic Guidance Launches the Class Period
Stellantis issued fiscal year 2024 results and provided 2025 guidance calling for positive net revenue growth, mid-single-digit adjusted operating income margins, and positive industrial free cash flows. Management touted electrification as "growing" and expressed confidence in achieving "profitable growth" through new product launches and regional scale. The lawsuit contends these projections were materially misleading because the Company was not positioned to deliver on them.
April 30, 2025 — Guidance Suspended, But Reassurances Continue
First quarter results revealed net revenues down 14% year-over-year to €35.8 billion and consolidated shipments declining 9%. Despite these figures, management emphasized "encouraging progress" on commercial recovery and characterized the suspension of full-year guidance as driven solely by tariff-related uncertainties, the filing states. The complaint asserts this framing obscured deeper structural problems already affecting the business.
July 21, 2025 — Preliminary H1 Results Expose €3.3 Billion in Charges
Management disclosed preliminary first-half figures including AOI of just €540 million (a 0.7% margin versus 10.0% in H1 2024) and €3.3 billion in net charges. These charges included:
- Approximately €2 billion from canceled product programs, including €700 million from abandoned hydrogen fuel cell EV efforts
- Roughly €700 million in non-cash impairments of Maserati vehicle platforms
- Approximately €300 million tied to CAFE credit write-downs following regulatory changes
- About €200 million from expanded Takata airbag recall campaigns in Europe (approximately two-thirds of a ~€300 million line item also covering miscellaneous items)
February 6, 2026 — The Full Picture Emerges
Stellantis announced €22 billion in charges alongside a fundamental "reset" of its business model. The Company disclosed that its prior electrification assumptions had been based on "an initial overestimation of pace of adoption of electrification in the regions" and pointed to "substantially reduced volume and profitability expectations for BEV products." STLA shares lost nearly a quarter of their value in a single trading session.
