Summary
- Stellantis shares dropped 47% while GM shares rose 47% in the past year.

Stellantis, the company behind brands like Chrysler and Fiat, has seen its stock market performance severely lag behind its peer, General Motors. Over the past year, Stellantis shares have declined by 47%, while General Motors' stock has surged by an equal measure. This stark divergence is underscored by their financial results for 2025.
While GM experienced a moderate sales dip and a significant drop in earnings per share, Stellantis faced a more severe decline. The company's revenue decreased by 2.1% in 2025. More critically, Stellantis reported a substantial loss of 22.4 billion euros ($25.6 billion), a drastic shift from its 5.5 billion euro profit in 2024. This financial downturn also resulted in the suspension of Stellantis' dividend.
However, a turnaround may be on the horizon for patient investors. Stellantis' performance in the first quarter of 2026 has shown improvement, with sales increasing by 6.4% and positive earnings reported. Under new leadership, management is executing a turnaround strategy focused on cost-cutting and brand prioritization, with analysts predicting earnings recovery in the coming years.
