Stellantis Reports 23 Billion Euro Loss Due to U.S. Tariffs

Stellantis, a leading global automaker, has announced preliminary financial results for the first half of 2025, revealing a projected net revenue of 743 billion euros and a net loss of 23 billion euros. This substantial financial loss is primarily due to the impact of U.S. tariffs, which have imposed a net tariff cost of 3 billion euros on the company. The tariffs have significantly increased the cost of importing vehicles and components, disrupting supply chains and leading to operational inefficiencies and additional expenses.

The company's second-quarter global vehicle delivery estimate stands at 1.4 million units, marking a 6% year-over-year decline. This decrease is attributed to production halts in the early part of the quarter due to North American tariff issues and unfavorable impacts from product transitions in Europe. Stellantis is taking early actions to enhance performance and profitability, with expectations that new products will yield greater benefits in the second half of the year.

Stellantis' financial outlook for the remainder of 2025 remains uncertain as it continues to address the challenges posed by the tariffs. The automotive industry is highly sensitive to trade policies, and the imposition of tariffs can have profound effects on manufacturers' profitability and competitiveness. The company's ability to mitigate these costs and adapt to the changing trade environment will be critical in determining its financial performance in the coming years. Stellantis is scheduled to release its complete financial results for the first half of 2025 on July 29.
