Important Notice Regarding Alleged Electrification Earnings Misrepresentations

NEW YORK, April 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Levi & Korsinsky, LLP notifies investors in Stellantis N.V. (NYSE: STLA) that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of shareholders who purchased securities between February 26, 2025, and February 5, 2026. Find out if you qualify to recover losses.

Stellantis shares fell $2.26 per share on February 6, 2026, a decline of approximately 23.69% in a single trading session, after the Company disclosed €22 billion in charges tied to a fundamental overestimation of the pace of electrification adoption. The lead plaintiff deadline is June 8, 2026.

How the Alleged Electrification Overestimation Inflated Stellantis Securities

The global automotive sector spent the past several years betting heavily on battery-electric vehicle adoption timelines. Stellantis set its fiscal 2025 guidance around positive net revenue growth, mid-single-digit adjusted operating income margins, and positive industrial free cash flows, anchored by the assumption that electrification demand would accelerate across its regions. The lawsuit contends that these projections were built on a flawed foundation: management allegedly knew or should have known that BEV demand was not materializing at the pace embedded in its forecasts.

Key Electrification Allegations for Shareholders

The complaint alleges the following concerning Stellantis' electrification strategy and its impact on reported financials:

• The Company projected mid-single-digit AOI margins for fiscal 2025 while allegedly aware that BEV profitability lagged far behind internal combustion counterparts
• Hydrogen fuel cell EV efforts were ultimately abandoned, resulting in approximately €700 million in charges, suggesting these programs lacked viable returns well before the write-down
• Maserati vehicle platforms received non-cash impairment charges reflecting what management called "the reality of the current sales pace," a reality the lawsuit claims existed during the Class Period
• Industrial free cash flows swung to negative €3.0 billion in H1 2025, consuming capital that had been projected as positive for the full year
• The Company suspended its 2025 guidance on April 30, 2025, citing tariff uncertainties, but the lawsuit asserts the underlying electrification shortfall was already apparent
• When the full €22 billion in charges was disclosed on February 6, 2026, management attributed the reset to "substantially reduced volume and profitability expectations for BEV products"

The Structural Mismatch Between Strategy and Market Reality

As alleged in the action, Stellantis' organizational structure, supply chains, and stakeholder relationships had been oriented around an electrification timeline that was not supported by actual consumer adoption. The February 2026 disclosure revealed that the Company required a complete "reset" of its business model, including shifts in organizational priorities, execution, and quality control. The lawsuit contends this structural mismatch was not a sudden development but rather a foreseeable consequence of overcommitting to BEV projections that internal data should have challenged far earlier.

"This case presents important questions about electrification strategy disclosure obligations in the automotive sector. When a company sets earnings guidance premised on adoption curves that internal operations cannot support, investors are entitled to know the true risks embedded in those projections." -- Joseph E.
