Stellantis (STLA) stock down as Q1 revenue, vehicle sales fall short

Stellantis N.V. (NYSE: STLA) shares fell 2.3% in European trading Tuesday after the company missed analyst expectations for net revenue in the fiscal first quarter.

The automaker reported revenue for the quarter of 41.7 billion euros, falling short of the consensus estimate of 45.97 billion euros.

The company's vehicle sales totaled 1.34 million units, a decrease of 10% year-over-year, also below the expected 1.47 million units.

Looking ahead, Stellantis reaffirmed its commitment to achieving a double-digit adjusted operating income (AOI) margin in 2024 and said it anticipates a positive industrial free cash flow for the year.

Moreover, the previously announced 3 billion euro buyback is on schedule to be completed within the year, Stellantis stated.

Commenting on the report, UBS analysts said they expect a “neutral to slightly negative” reaction to the Q1 miss.

“We expect overall reassuring comments on the call about upcoming quarters showing a better revenue trend than Q1. Another relevant catalyst (potentially positive) is the CMD on 13 June when we expect Stellantis to provide an updated medium-term capital allocation policy,” they added.
