STLA Investor Alert: Stellantis N.V. Securities Fraud Lawsuit - Investors With Losses May Seek to Lead the Class Action After Company Allegedly Inflated Earnings Projections: Levi & Korsinsky

Promise vs. Reality: The Stellantis Performance Gap

NEW YORK, May 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- "Positive" net revenue growth. "Mid-single digit" adjusted operating income margins. "Positive" industrial free cash flows. Those were the benchmarks Stellantis N.V. (NYSE: STLA) set for fiscal 2025 on February 26, 2025. Less than twelve months later, the Company disclosed €22 billion in charges, a net loss of €2.3 billion for the first half alone, and a fundamental "reset" of its business model. Levi & Korsinsky, LLP highlights the contrast between Stellantis' promises and its actual results for shareholders who purchased STLA securities between February 26, 2025, and February 5, 2026.

On February 6, 2026, STLA shares fell from $9.54 to $7.28, a single-day decline of 23.69%, erasing $2.26 per share in value. The lead plaintiff deadline is June 8, 2026.

The Promise

On February 26, 2025, management issued fiscal 2025 guidance projecting positive net revenue growth, mid-single digit AOI margins, and positive industrial free cash flows. The lawsuit contends that these projections were made while the Company already faced material headwinds it failed to disclose, including an overestimation of the pace of electrification adoption and the depth of restructuring required to realign the business.

The Reality

By mid-2025, the gap between projection and performance had widened dramatically:

• AOI Margin Promised: Mid-single digits | AOI Margin Delivered (H1 2025): 0.7%
• Net Revenue Trend Promised: Positive growth | Net Revenue Delivered (H1 2025): Down 13% year-over-year
• Industrial Free Cash Flows Promised: Positive | Industrial Free Cash Flows Delivered (H1 2025): Negative €3.0 billion
• Net Profit (H1 2024): €5.6 billion | Net Result (H1 2025): Loss of €2.3 billion
• Charges Announced (Full Year 2025): €22 billion, driven by a fundamental reset of the Company's business model including shifts away from battery-powered electric vehicles

What the Lawsuit Alleges About the Gap

The action claims that when management issued its optimistic fiscal 2025 guidance, it knew or recklessly disregarded that Stellantis was not positioned to achieve the guided benchmarks. As pleaded, the Company had materially overestimated the pace of electrification adoption across its operating regions and would ultimately require massive charges to shift organizational priorities, stakeholder relationships, supply chains, and quality control away from battery-powered electric vehicles. The filing states that these concealed realities rendered the February 2025 guidance materially misleading at the time it was issued.

"Companies that make specific promises to investors about future performance have an obligation to disclose known risks to those projections. The magnitude of the gap between Stellantis' guided benchmarks and its actual results raises serious questions about whether material adverse information was withheld." -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq.
