Stellantis promises greater revenue growth as cost-cutting accelerates
Stellantis reported a 1% year-over-year increase in 2026 third-quarter net revenues thanks to higher sales volumes in both the enlarged Europe region plus favorable exchange rates in South America.
The company announced a net revenue of 37.6 billion euros ($41.9 billion) for the quarter thanks to a 3% YoY increase for those two regions, despite revenues being down 3% in North America, 19% in the Middle East and Africa, and 7% in the Asia Pacific region, per its Oct. 28 release.
Overall, this resulted in a 453 million euro loss for the quarter. The loss was a 90% improvement — over the 4.5 billion euro loss in Q3 2025 — as its cost-cutting strategy began to be implemented. With accelerating cost savings, Stellantis expects to realize additional savings next quarter, amounting to “millions of euros in Q4 2026, approximately double the amount realized in Q3 2026,” it said.
The automaker pointed to the positive signs of its FaSTLAne 2030 business strategy beginning to bear fruit with higher total shipment volumes expected in Q4 2026, with what it described as “a broadly stable pricing environment” versus Q3 2026.
Regional performance
Sales in the enlarged Europe region for Q3 2026 grew by 1% YoY driven largely by Smart Car, up 36% YoY and growing electric vehicle demand in France, Germany and the U.K.
Stellantis said U.S. sales still beat the industry trend which was down by 0.8% thanks to sales of its Ram 1500, which was up 73%. Sales of the Dodge Durango were up 14%, and Chrysler Pacifica sales were up 6% YoY.
“During the quarter, we continued to make progress in the early execution of our FaSTLAne 2030 plan, launching new products, accelerating partnerships as planned, and delivering meaningful improvements in manufacturing and quality,” said Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa in a company statement.
“At the same time, our Value Creation Program has ramped up rapidly, with positive contributions being recognized in the quarter, and we remain on track to implement at least 40% of the total 6 billion euros in run-rate efficiencies by the end of this year,” he added.
