Stellantis Q3 2024 – Shipments and Revenues Plunge

Stellantis also confirmed its diminished 2024 financial guidance, which was updated on September 30, 2024.*

Stellantis is also looking to find a successor for CEO Carlos Tavares, who will retire from his seat in 2026.

No matter how nuanced a view you take, Jeep is central to the plan. The China Leapmotor Strategy is either daft – given the expanding global trade war with China or dictated by reality. Perhaps more significant in this moment, Stellantis re-affirmed its 2024 financial guidance and capital return plan, which promises double-digit Adjusted Operating Income (AOI) margin and positive industrial free cash flows. Stellantis will provide  ≥€7.7 billion in dividends and buybacks during 2024. Continue reading →
