AMSTERDAM (OLANDA) (ITALPRESS) – Stellantis today announced the financial results of the first quarter of 2026 that demonstrate an annual improvement of all major financial indicators. Net revenues increased by 6% annually to 38.1 billion euros, supported by better performance in North America, along with positive results in enlarged Europe and the Middle East and Africa. Net profit has improved to 0.4 billion euros, reflecting mainly the growth of volumes and the strengthening of operational performance. The adjusted operating income was 1.0 billion euros, which represents an AOI margin of 2.5%, with most regions achieving positive results. During the first quarter of 2026, the Company further strengthened its assets through the issue of three tranches of perpetual hybrid bonds for a total of 5 billion euros, increasing liquidity and financial flexibility. On the operating level, the first quarter of 2026 showed the first encouraging signs of improvement. Stellantis has accelerated actions to improve industrial performance and support sustainable and profitable growth, intervening on key issues in production processes and quality and filling gaps in the execution phase.
We expect a strong response from customers to products launched in 2025, combined with the planned launch of different models in 2026, of which 10 new and 6 updated versions, can further strengthen this momentum. Sustained by a solid patrimonial situation and fundamental improvement, Stellantis started 2026 on a solid basis. Consistent with this best financial performance, the Company confirmed the financial guidance for 2026. In the quarter, regional results showed a positive dynamic in the main markets. North America: Sales increased by 6% compared to the first quarter of 2025, with an increase of 4% in the United States, 15% in Canada and 19% in Mexico. Stellantis has achieved better results than an American market falling by 6% in the first quarter of 2026, resulting in the manufacturer with the highest growth rate in the region. The market share rose to 7.9%, with an increase of 80 basic points compared to the previous year, driven by Ram, the fastest growing brand in North America, whose sales in the domestic market increased by about 20% annually, the highest in the first quarter since 2023. Jeep also contributed to the growth with the brand new Jeep Cherokee, Jeep Grand Cherokee updated, Jeep Grand Wagoneer and the new Sixpack Dodge Charger, now available in retailers’ showrooms in the United States, offering customers greater freedom of choice in the largest market in the region.
Enlarged Europe: Sales increased by 5% and 8%, including Leapmotor, compared to the first quarter of 2025, mainly driven by Italy, Germany and Spain. Stellantis has recorded a higher performance than the modest growth of the sector in the quarter. The market share of the EU30 reached 17.5%, with an increase of 20 basic points on an annual basis and 18.1% with an increase of 70 basic points, including Leapmotor . The growth has been supported by a diverse range of BEV, hybrid and thermal drives, including the launch of the Fiat Grande Panda ICE on the Smart Car platform. The C-SUV range continues to strengthen, supported by Citroën C5 Aircross and Jeep Compass. Stellantis reaffirmed its leadership in the EU30 light commercial vehicle segment, reaching a market share of 28.7%. Leapmotor continued to consolidate its commercial momentum in Europe, positioning itself as the leader of the BEV segment in Italy. South America: Sales increased by 1% and 2%, including Leapmotor, compared to the first quarter of 2025. Despite a decrease in market share of 270 points per year, Stellantis has maintained its leadership in the region with a market share of 21.1%, confirming its position in the first place in Brazil, with a market share of 28.9%, and in Argentina, with 28.9%. Among the main launches of the quarter are the brand new Ram Dakota, Jeep Renegade MCA, Jeep Commander MHEV and Leapmotor B10.
Stellantis also confirmed its leadership in the light commercial vehicle segment, reaching a market share of 33.8%. Middle East and Africa: Sales remained stable despite a downward trend in the sector, down by 4% on an annual basis. Stellantis’ market share increased to 11.5%, in progress of 50 basic points per year, driven by 18% annual sales growth in Algeria, where Stellantis is market leader, as well as in Turkey. The main launches of the quarter include Jeep Compass, the update of the Peugeot 408 in Turkey and the Citroën Basalt in South Africa. Asia Pacific: Sales decreased by 4% and by 2% including Leapmotor, compared to the first quarter of 2025, reflecting a weaker sector context. In particular, India recorded an increase in sales of 71% during the quarter, fueled by the renewed Citroën range.
“With the start of quarterly reporting, the first three months of 2026 reflect the results of the actions undertaken to bring Stellantis back on a sustainable and profitable growth path. The products launched in 2025 were welcomed and we are confident that the 10 new vehicles planned for 2026 will consolidate this momentum. Our priority is clear: to put customers at the center of everything we do and we look forward to sharing more details on the occasion of our Investor Day on 21 May in Auburn Hills.” This commented by Antonio Filosa, CEO of Stellantis, to comment on the results of the first quarter of the company.
