STLA--
The company's struggles extended beyond the first quarter, as shipments declined 10% to 1.34 million units, reflecting production actions and inventory management in preparation for a new wave of product launches in the second half [1]. In North America, revenue and shipments took a 15% and 20% hit, respectively [1].
Despite these challenges, Stellantis' net pricing held firm during the quarter [2]. However, the automaker's transition to a "next generation" portfolio, which includes plans to introduce 25 new models in 2024, including 18 battery electric vehicles (BEVs) [1], appears to have negatively impacted its financial performance.
Stellantis' BEV sales showed promising growth, increasing by 8% in the first three months of the year [1]. This expansion is crucial as the automotive industry shifts towards more sustainable transportation solutions. However, the financial implications of this transition are not yet evident in the company's financial results.
Stellantis shares, which reached an all-time high last month, plummeted to their lowest level since January, closing at $22.30 [1]. With these latest losses, the company's stock is now trading in negative territory for the year [1].
