Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa reaffirmed the automaker’s 2026 guidance and longer-term cash-flow targets as the company works through a roughly $70 billion turnaround plan. Stellantis continues to expect a mid-single-digit increase in net revenue and a low-single-digit adjusted operating margin for 2026, while targeting positive free cash flow in 2027 and more than 3 billion euros in 2028.
The assurances followed a new closing low for Stellantis’ U.S.-listed shares, which have lost nearly 60% of their value this year. Filosa said the turnaround will emphasize stronger regional brands, new investments, partnerships, manufacturing efficiency and improved execution while retaining the company’s portfolio of 14 automotive brands.

Investor Sentiment
Reaffirming the targets may offer some reassurance, but investors remain cautious after years of declining sales, weaker margins and substantial negative free cash flow. Stellantis must demonstrate that stronger performance from brands such as Jeep and Ram can translate into sustained revenue growth while its investments and restructuring efforts remain costly.
The broader decline among automakers reflects concerns about competition, affordability and the capital required to adjust product lineups as consumer preferences change. Market participants will be watching Stellantis’ North American sales, operating margins and cash generation for measurable evidence that the turnaround is progressing toward its stated goals.
