Stellantis, the multinational automotive manufacturer, announced a €22 billion charge due to overestimating the transition to electric vehicles and poor operational execution. The company will make €6.5 billion in cash payments over four years and realign product plans, particularly in the US, where EV demand has weakened. This includes cancelling projects like the Ram 1500 BEV. Stellantis also plans to sell its stake in a Canadian battery joint venture. The company will not pay a dividend in 2026, and its stock price plummeted, leading to a trading halt. CEO Antonio Filosa stated the company is addressing past execution gaps and aligning with customer demand.
