Stellantis (ISIN NL00150001Q9) was trading at EUR 4.12 on Euronext Paris on September 28, 2026, up 2.36 percent from the prior close of EUR 4.03. The move comes as investors weigh a sharper second-quarter recovery against still-thin profitability.

Revenue recovery gains scale

According to Yahoo Finance, Stellantis reported Q2 2026 net revenue of EUR 43.5 billion, an increase of 13 percent from Q2 2025. Adjusted operating income reached EUR 773 million, EUR 560 million higher than a year earlier.

The improvement also reached cash generation. Industrial free cash flow was positive at EUR 1.0 billion in Q2 2026, an improvement of EUR 1.0 billion year over year, while shipments increased 10 percent to 1.6 million units.

Margin remains the key test

Adjusted operating margin rose to 1.8 percent in Q2 2026 from 0.6 percent in the prior-year quarter. That 1.2 percentage point gain is material, but the absolute margin still leaves limited room for pricing pressure, raw-material inflation and regional execution setbacks.

Yahoo Finance reported that Stellantis reaffirmed its 2026 guidance, including capital expenditure and research spending of 6.5 percent to 7.0 percent of net revenue. Management also expects positive industrial free cash flow in 2027.

Berenberg lowers its target

The analyst counterpoint is more cautious. ClubAlfa reported that Berenberg lowered Stellantis from Buy to Hold and cut its price target from EUR 7.80 to EUR 5.10. The new target lies 23.79 percent above the Euronext Paris price of EUR 4.12.

MarketBeat lists an average twelve-month target of USD 7.45 from 19 analysts, against a high of USD 10.00 and a low of USD 4.00. That consensus refers to the NYSE-listed ADR in USD, while the reference quote here is the companys ordinary share in EUR.

Next results arrive October 28

Stellantis lists October 28, 2026, for its Q3 2026 financial results. Until then, the market is balancing the 13 percent revenue increase against the 1.8 percent adjusted operating margin and the execution burden embedded in the recovery plan.
