Stellantis reported industrial free cash flow of negative 4 billion euros ($4.5 billion) for the third quarter, a slight improvement from negative 4.3 billion euros a year earlier. Revenue rose 1% to 37.6 billion euros and adjusted operating income climbed 184% to 256 million euros, as CEO Antonio Filosa cited progress on the company's FaSTLAne 2030 restructuring plan. Stellantis reaffirmed its 2026 guidance and its goal of reaching positive free cash flow next year.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The narrower cash shortfall and reaffirmed guidance appear to have reassured investors, with shares jumping about 6% in Milan and premarket New York trading, even though the stock remains well down for the year. The results suggest Stellantis may be stabilizing faster than peers amid a broader downturn affecting European automakers, though sustained positive free cash flow next year remains the key test investors are watching for.
