Trump’s tariff helps to pay Stelantis’s owner to a huge loss of $ 2.7 billion

The net loss of 2.3 billion euros (2.7 billion dollars) came in the first half of the year, as sales continued in North America, a decrease of 25 percent in size in the second quarter on an annual basis.

The car maker, which also includes stable brands, said Peugeot, Citroen and FIAT, the first -half net revenue decreased 12.6 percent to 74.3 billion euros, according to the preliminary and uninhabited results.

Vehicle sales decreased by six percent in the second quarter on an annual basis, after nine percent decreased in the first three months of 2025.

“It had a negative impact of 300 million euros and disrupted its plans to enhance its struggling performance in North America,” said Stelantis.

Automobile companies have struggled to respond to the tariff of the new US President Donald Trump of 25 percent on imported cars that have not been largely made inside North America.

The company, which also has Chryler, Dodge and RAM TRUCK, stopped production in some plants in Canada and Mexico in April with the intervention of definitions.

Stelantis said that the sharp decrease in North America’s sales was “due to factors that include low manufacturing and shipments from imported vehicles, most affected by tariffs”, as well as a decrease in sales of corporate fleets.

The charge of restructuring

Stelantis also received a cost of 3.3 billion euros, which she said was “primarily linked to the costs of canceling the program and weak platform, and the net impact of recent legislation that eliminates the average cafe penalty and restructuring.”

Trump’s tax and huge spending legislation, which was approved earlier this month, removed sanctions for not respecting the so -called fuel -consuming economy, which means that car manufacturers can produce and sell cars most polluted in the United States.

The company said that it is in the early stage of taking measures to improve performance and profitability, as it is expected to lead new products to a greater impact in the second half of 2025.

Stelantis suspended its financial directives in April due to the increased uncertainty resulting from the American definitions.

Analysts at the Finance Group Oddo Bhf Group said that the decrease in sales was widely expected and noted that new chief executives often clean the house by passing new rulings or restructuring fees.

Veterator Antonio Velosa took over the position of CEO in June and immediately called an administrative re -operation.

Felosa chaired the North American region, which represents most of the company’s profits and whose struggles led last year to dismiss Carlos Tavares, and preserved the responsibility of the region.

While the total decrease by six percent in sales sizes was in line with analysts’ expectations, according to ODDO BHF, the 25 percent decrease was twice the 12 percent expected by analysts.

Stellantis stocks decreased by 2.1 percent in morning trading on the Paris Stock Exchange, which was 0.4 percent less in general.

Stelantis said it would issue the results of the first half audited on July 29 as decided.
