Stellantis N.V. (NYSE: STLA) said today that during Q3 2024 net revenues of €33.0 billion were down -27% compared to Q3 2023 as consolidated shipments of 1,148,000 were down 279,000 or -20% year-over-year. Stellantis also confirmed its diminished 2024 financial guidance, which was updated on September 30, 2024.*

“While Q3 2024 performance is below our potential, I’m pleased with our progress addressing operational issues, in particular U.S. inventories, which have been reduced meaningfully and are on track for year-end targets, as well as stabilization of U.S. market share. In Europe, stringent quality requirements delayed the start of certain high-volume products, but with progress resolving challenges we will soon benefit from the significantly expanded reach our generational new product wave brings to 2025 and beyond,” claimed Doug Ostermann, CFO, who replaced Natalie Knight earlier this month. Stellantis is also looking to find a successor for CEO Carlos Tavares, who will retire from his seat in 2026.

In what seems to be a “whistling past the graveyard” release appropriate for Halloween, Stellantis put forth yet again its transition plan. Stellantis’ 14 brands are to some degree or other at the heart of the Company’s planned revival/survival with ~20 new products expected this year.

The lineup of 2024 launches includes the first products built on the new, multi-energy powertrain capable STLA platforms:

  • The Peugeot 3008 and 5008 available now, and Opel Grandland (coming) on STLA Medium
  • The Dodge Charger Daytona and Jeep Wagoneer S to launch soon on the STLA Large platform
  • The Citroën C3 Aircross and Basalt, Opel Frontera and Fiat Grande Panda based on the Smart Car platform

Stellantis said it will soon announce details of STLA Frame, the third of four all-new multi-energy platforms revealed during EV Day in 2021. Several new products are here or are available to order:

  • Ram Light Duty retail U.S. sales increased 11% Q3 2024compared to Q2 2024 with the new 2025 Ram 1500 sales up 66% for the same period.
  • The all-new Peugeot 3008 with ~75,000 orders at a 25% BEV mix.
  • Orders for the all-new Citroën C3 with a new Hybrid version, which began shipping in September, totaled more than 50,000 with the ë-C3 version at more than 25,000 orders. The brand also introduced Basalt in India and South America.
  • The all-new Junior brings Alfa Romeo back into the hotly contested B-segment in the European market and is said to be offered with the widest powertrain line-up in its category. Junior has more than 10,000 orders.
  • Stellantis’ renewed Pro One van lineup from Citroën, FIAT Professional, Opel, Peugeot and Vauxhall is on the road with 12 models across all segments with second-generation electrification (battery-electric and fuel cell-electric vehicles) and full connectivity for vans and pickups.
  • Leapmotor International, the controversial, politically fraught Stellantis-led joint venture with Chinese Leapmotor, distributed the first 1200 Leapmotor T03 (A-segment) and C10 (D-SUV) to dealers across Europe. The all-electric offer expands in 2025 with the introduction of the B10, its first global C-SUV, and introduction of range-extended EV technology on C10.*
