stellantis reports q1 profits as revival plan appears to take hold

Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa recently touted the company’s efforts to back into the black, and the company’s first quarter earnings report shows his plan seems to be working.

The company reported a net profit of $440 million for the first quarter of 2026, a massive change from the same time last year when the company reported a loss of about $455 million. Stellantis also reported adjusted operating income of $1.2 billion. The company’s revenue was up also, rising 6 percent.

Filosa pointed to better sales and improved operations as the reasons for the turnaround.

"As we initiate quarterly reporting, the first three months of 2026 reflect the early results of our actions to return Stellantis to sustainable, profitable growth,” Filosa said in a release.

“The products we launched in 2025 have been well received and we’re confident that the 10 new vehicles planned for 2026 will build on this momentum. Our priority is clear: to put our customers back at the center of everything we do, and we look forward to sharing more on this at our Investor Day on May 21 in Auburn Hills."

That presentation is likely to offer more insight into his turnaround plan, which included a $26 billion charge against earnings for the second half of 2025, while also pushing more hybrid models that the public is currently calling for.

The automaker noted its global shipments jump 12 percent in the first quarter, and 17 percent in North America, where the Jeep and Ram brands showed strong growth. Sales were up 6 percent in North America, including 4 percent in the U.S.

U.S. market share rose to 7.9 percent, much of that driven by Ram sales, which increased approximately 20 percent year-over-year, the highest Q1 since 2023 and the fastest growing brand in North America.

“Jeep also drove improvement with the all-new Jeep® Cherokee, refreshed Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Grand Wagoneer and new Dodge Charger SixPack now available in dealer showrooms across the U.S., offering customers greater freedom of choice in the region’s largest market,” the company noted in a release.

Stellantis finally having Americans in charge of the American brands. Now they need to establish each brand's lane. The Wagoneer S and the new Cherokee should be a Chrysler products.

  They had every opportunity to make the cherokee rwd/4x4 as its based on stla lg but they literally made it fwd/awd to further prove its just a disposable piece of crap. What could have been a boxy American land cruiser is instead an American hyundai sante fe.

Vid169489471 The technology exists today to produce a variable color temperature (kelvin) LED lamp. It can vary from 2700k that soft orange look to 6500k the bright daylight with the bluish tint.Since everything in a late model car is computer controlled, it would be an easy task to write a few lines of code that enables your vehicle to not only dim down from hi to low beam but to shift color temp down to the 2700k range for oncoming traffic, then back up to 5000k once oncoming traffic has passed. For the operator it would be automatic and seamless. For older cars they could be retrofitted with LEDs that are 2700k on low beam and 5000k on hi beam. As far as standards, there could be a lumens max, and a minimum. Several States already have minimum lumen standards going back to the old incandescent bulbs. Why not update these to national standards.
Jam169859557 More regulation is needed for ALL vehicle lighting systems. [list=1][*]The lighting that is most blinding are the rapidly flashing red, blue and amber lights on emergency vehicles. The lights themselves are blinding, flashing so rapidly that it's impossible for even the sharpest eyes to adjust. What's worse, is the nature of the emergency requires a careful view of the area surrounding the emergency vehicle. There is something going on that needs to be seen. More flashing lights is not the solution.[/*][*]Brighter headlights need to be regulated. The tall riding vehicles do not need headlights positioned so high that they blind drivers in lower riding vehicles. And those heasdlights need to be aimed properly. When I first started driving my 2020 Subaru Outback, many drivers would flash their lights, hoping I would dim my lights. This stopped after I performed am easy adjustment that tilted the beam lower. Late model Subaru headlamps are designed with a sharp cutoff that project less glare above the hood line. When the headlights are properly aimed, other drivers are not blinded by the beam.[/*][*]Customized light assemblies make it more difficult to see the marker lights (tail lamps, turn signals and side marker lamps) that have been tinted. There are many municiple codes that prohibit this tinting, but these laws are seldom enforced.[/*][/list=1]Solutions: Tight controls on emergency vehicle lighting. In trying to make these vehicles more visible, a dangerous side effect is reducing the ability of drivers to see the surrounding perils.Headlight design regulations that reduce the height of the headlight assemblies. Just because a pickup truck has a hood that sits 4 feet abouve the pavement, it does not mean the headlights need to be so high. Owneres should maintain proper adjustments to their vehicle headlights.Establish and enforce regulation requiring a illumination standard be followed.
Stl170698708 as someone who hates big government, and their interference;but you can add me to the list of people that are blinded by the lights.unfortunately "the poop is out of the horse and no way is it going back in"They have had 5 years to make lights bigger, badder and brighter because in the vehicle work it is go big or go home!Trucks are the worst because so many people use them to express their dominance and that is big, big, big $$ both at the Original Purchase and in the Aftermarket world.If, we are so lucky to get some good government regulation on this it will also take some very good Court enforcement to get the aftermarket people with fines and lawsuits.Much like the EPA did with the Diesel Tuner Industry that felt emission regulations didn't apply to them.This is from someone that owns said pickup truck with the same bright headlights,but i only use the truck when I have too and always turn off the Fog lights when driving in traffic.
Art65765977 I saw a porsche 911 with the most amazing headlights from behind approaching the Sunshine skyway in Florida. The pattern was 108 degrees across sweeping the road like a broom. My brother and I were amazed. I don't know what it looked like from the front but i am sure it was better than American cars
