Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:STLA)'s long-idled Belvidere ******* embly Plant in Illinois has been a case study for how a plant reopening can be pushed further into the future. The plant has been dormant since February 2023, when Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:STLA) ended the Jeep Cherokee production and laid off over 1,300 employees. A 2027 production target for Belvidere has now shifted, with Stellantis targeting pilot production of the next-generation Cherokee in the first half of 2028 and retail production in the second half of 2029, even as Stellantis portrays the news as a larger investment rather than a delay.
Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:STLA) announced an increase in its Belvidere investment to more than $800 million, up from a previous commitment of $600 million or more, and confirmed that the plant will produce the next-generation Jeep Cherokee on its new STLA One platform, the first vehicle built in the US on that modular design, which the company claims will improve manufacturing efficiency and reduce costs.
However, according to UAW Local 1268 president Matt Frantzen, citing internal records and talks with company executives, the updated schedule pushes pilot production into the first half of 2028, while retail production is not targeted to begin until the second half of 2029, roughly two years later than Stellantis' previous 2027 initial-production target.
The Belvidere news is a grave situation developing north of the border. Unifor, the Canadian union that represents Detroit Three autoworkers, stated that Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:STLA) has signed an MOU with Canadian armored-vehicle maker Roshel outlining a potential sale of its Brampton, Ontario ******* embly plant, which has been idle since 2023. According to union president Lana Payne, Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:STLA) has yet to provide the official year's notice required by the collective agreement. Payne described it as a "lose-lose scenario," claiming Stellantis' 2023 commitment to keep Brampton staffed had been broken.
The two stories are directly related. Brampton had been scheduled to build the Jeep Compass, with retooling beginning in early 2024 before Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:STLA) paused it in 2025 and then, that October, moved Compass manufacturing to the US completely, the same reassignment that sent the model to Belvidere.

Maserati is reportedly advancing talks on a technology and manufacturing partnership in China involving Huawei and JAC Motors, as the Stellantis-owned marque works on a wider relaunch strategy.
Citing an unnamed source, Italian newspaper Milano Finanza reported that the arrangement under discussion would pair Maserati with Maextro, the premium marque Huawei has built alongside JAC.
According to the translated version of the report, negotiators have resolved most sticking points, although a formal deal remains unsigned.
The goal is to have the venture running by 2027.
Under the roles outlined in the report, Huawei would oversee product strategy and in-car technology, while JAC would take charge of engineering and production.

Ford Motor (NYSE:F), the global light-vehicle and truck maker with Ford and Lincoln brands, closed at $14.14, up 2.17%. Wednesday's session followed reports that August U.S. sales fell 10.3%. Investors will be closely watching pickup production and demand next.
Trading volume reached 51.7 million shares, coming in roughly 3.1% above its three-month average of 50.2 million shares.
The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC) closed at 7,667, up 0.47%, while the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX:^IXIC) finished at 26,218, up 0.45%. Among automobile manufacturers, General Motors (NYSE:GM) closed at $84.88, down 0.88%, and Stellantis (NYSE:STLA) ended at $5.27, down 1.50%, highlighting softer trading in auto peers during the session.
Ford reported August U.S. sales fell 10.3%, marking an eighth straight month of year-over-year declines. Investors were encouraged, however, after the automaker said its production of the large, highly profitable "Super Duty" trucks last month reached a 20-year high. At the same time, the output of F-150 pickups reached its highest point in two years, reports CNBC. Ford was significantly affected by supplier issues due to its large aluminum bodies and other components following an aluminum plant fire late last year.
August electric vehicle (EV) sales were down nearly 80%, while hybrid sales were down 20%. Ford stock is nearly 20% off its 2026 highs, reached after the company announced the formation of Ford Energy in May. That came after it repurposed some EV ******* ets as part of a pivot to tap into demand for energy storage. That helped investors shrug off the plunging EV and hybrid sales.

Stellantis just got another North America headache.
Trump's Canada tariff threat dragged down Ford and GM too, but Stellantis looks especially exposed because its Canadian factory footprint is already complicated, underused and politically sensitive.
President Donald Trump threatened to raise tariffs on Canadian cars, trucks, auto parts and steel to 50% from January 1, 2027, after US-Canada trade talks collapsed.
The market did not wait for the fine print. Stellantis shares fell roughly 3% in Paris and U.S.-linked trading, while Ford and General Motors also dropped as investors priced in higher costs for North American supply chains. US steelmakers moved the other way, with Cleveland-Cliffs, Nucor and Steel Dynamics rallying on the prospect that tariffs on Canadian steel could support domestic pricing.

Pony.ai reported Tuesday that its overseas robotaxi deployment pipeline has grown to more than 4,000 vehicles, as the Chinese autonomous driving company accelerates its push into international markets.
Those vehicles are already under contract, though when each deployment goes live will depend on permitting, regulatory clearances, and other operational factors, Pony.ai CEO James Peng told ******* ysts on a post-earnings call, according to Reuters. Pony.ai offered no indication of when the full roster of planned international launches would be complete, and gave no figures on how many robotaxis it has actually put on the road outside China.
The total includes a contract with Uber for deployment of more than 2,000 robotaxis in Europe, the company said. Pony.ai did not disclose a breakdown of the remaining commitments across other markets.
Pony.ai announced the expanded Uber partnership last week, which builds on an existing commercial robotaxi service in Zagreb, Croatia, and adds four more European cities. Under the arrangement, Pony.ai contributes its autonomous driving technology and operational expertise, Uber provides its ride-hailing platform, and locally selected providers handle fleet tasks such as maintenance and charging.
Beyond Europe, Pony.ai said it has also advanced robotaxi operations in Luxembourg in collaboration with Bolt and Stellantis, and in Singapore made its robotaxi service available to the general public through ComfortDelGro's Zig app.

On August 14, autoworkers at Stellantis (NYSE:STLA) learned their union had been told the company is weighing the sale of its Brampton, Ontario plant, a move Unifor tied directly to US tariffs on Canadian goods. The timing is awkward. Days earlier, Stellantis had posted a swing back to profit, which looked like the first real evidence that its turnaround plan is working. Now investors have to weigh a genuine operational rebound against a labor and trade headache tangled up in the very North American market the company is counting on.
Stellantis reported a Q2 net profit of 293 million euros, a sharp reversal from a loss of 1.87 billion euros a year earlier, while adjusted operating income more than tripled to 773 million euros. North America, the region investors watch most closely, saw market share climb to 7.4% from a flat 7%, and Ram notched its fourth straight quarter of year-over-year sales growth, up 6%, breaking a seven-year losing streak. Renewed demand for the reintroduced Hemi V8 helped drive that gain, and Stellantis is leaning further into high-margin performance vehicles to extend it.
The Ram 1500 TRX SRT, priced at $102,590 with shipping, just reached dealerships only six months after its unveiling, and a lower-priced Rumble Bee variant is coming in the lower $60,000s. SRT trims carry margins two to three times higher than standard versions, and the automaker plans eleven SRT models across Ram, Jeep, and Dodge over the next five years. Combined with two all-new and three refreshed vehicles launched in the quarter, and nine more on the way, that product cycle backs up a stated goal of pushing North American margins to 8% to 10% within five years.
Wall Street was not impressed by the Q2 print. Adjusted operating income fell short of the 914 million euro estimate, and the stock dropped nearly 10% on the news before recovering part of that loss, a sign the turnaround still has to prove itself. That skepticism looks more justified given what surfaced on August 14, when Unifor said Stellantis notified the union it may close and sell its Brampton plant, ending decades of vehicle ***** embly there. Stellantis pointed to US tariffs on Canadian goods as the driver, and Brampton would not be the first casualty.
The plant was already idled for retooling in 2024, paused again in 2025, and lost its planned Jeep Compass production to a factory in Illinois once the tariffs hit. Brampton employed 2,200 workers before closing, and Canada's government, including Industry Minister Melanie Joly's office, has been pushing Stellantis to restart it. Stellantis has also previously discussed building electric vehicles in Canada with Chinese partner Zhejiang Leapmotor, an idea Unifor has openly opposed. All of this lands just as Unifor enters new contract talks covering Brampton and two other plants, with the current agreement expiring in September.

Rivian burns $833 million per quarter selling just 65,000 vehicles a year, yet its $23 billion market cap edges out global automaker Stellantis.
Stellantis sells 5.4 million vehicles annually but sits at a $20 billion market cap, while Tesla commands $1.1 trillion on EV future optimism.
EVs represent only 5% of new US car sales, making the investor optimism inflating Rivian above Stellantis increasingly hard to justify.

Ram, Jeep, and Fiat parent company Stellantis (STLA) reported solid first-half results on Thursday morning, but only reaffirmed its prior guidance. Investors clearly wanted more from CEO Antonio Filosa's turnaround plan.
For the half, Stellantis reported revenue of 81.61 billion euros ($93.20 billion) vs. 80.71 billion euros per Bloomberg consensus, up 10% compared to last year. Stellantis posted adjusted earnings per share of 0.32 euros ($0.37) vs 0.35 euros expected, and adjusted operating income of 1.733 billion euros ($1.98 billion), more than triple the 540 million euros ($614 million) posted a year ago.
Stellantis confirmed its prior 2026 guidance, projecting net revenues to rise in the mid-single digits in 2026, with low-single-digit adjusted operating income margin. The company aims to return to positive industrial free cash flow by 2027.
The company said its net tariff headwind for the year is estimated at 1.0 billion to 1.2 billion euros ($1.14 billion-$1.37 billion), but Stellantis received an IEEPA refund of 400 million euros ($456.3 million) in the first half of the year.
Stellantis shares fell over 4% in premarket trade.

Ram, Jeep, and Fiat parent company Stellantis (STLA) will report first-half results on Thursday morning, with the success of CEO Antonio Filosa's turnaround plan in focus.
For the half, Stellantis is expected to report revenue of 80.71 billion euros ($91.82 billion) per Bloomberg consensus, up nearly 9% compared to last year. Stellantis is expected to post adjusted earnings per share of 0.35 euros ($0.40) and adjusted operating income of 1.42 billion euros ($1.62 billion), almost triple the 540 million euros ($614 million) posted a year ago.
After reporting its Q1 results, Stellantis confirmed its prior 2026 guidance, projecting net revenues to rise in the mid-single digits in 2026, with low-single-digit adjusted operating income margin. The company aims to return to positive industrial free cash flow by 2027.
The company's Big Three rivals — Ford (F) and GM (GM) — both upped their full-year profit projections in their respective reports, putting pressure on Stellantis to do the same.
Filosa's turnaround plan has worked in terms of sales success.

When we think about the major global automakers these days, many investors forget all about Stellantis (NYSE: STLA), while General Motors (NYSE: GM) and Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) remain hot topics. It's understandable, considering Stellantis' declining relevance in multiple markets, lack of a true branding identity, and numerous management missteps. No doubt, Stellantis has many, many issues to fix in the coming years to regain lost global notoriety. That said, the company could be in oversold territory, and Wall Street forward estimates suggest ***** ysts are in "prove it" mode regarding the company's massive $70 billion turnaround plan. Here's a look at how Stellantis is poised to outperform its rivals over the next five years.
Over the past three years, General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis have traded in completely different trajectories. GM has been thriving, and its stock has doubled over the past three years, while Ford has essentially remained flat, but Stellantis checked in with a staggering near 70% decline. To get a better idea of just how much value Stellantis has shed, take a look at this next graph.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Not only does Stellantis' market cap equal a fraction of rivals GM or Ford, but it has also even sunk below that of young electric vehicle (EV) maker Rivian (NASDAQ: RIVN). That's right; Stellantis, a global automaker with millions of shipments annually, has a market cap below Rivian, which only sells four electric vehicles and has only achieved its first full year of gross profitability in 2025, and remains a long way away from net profitability.
Roughly a decade ago, Stellantis, then operating as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles in this reference, was peaking in the U.S. market. By 2019, however, its market share began a sharp decline that would last until about 2023, before leveling off over the next couple of years. This is the first year investors are seeing life from its core Jeep and Ram brands in North America.

The guest **** yst on the show argued that both pure-play startups are "one boardroom decision at another company away" from collapse, and that neither company is expected to turn cash flow positive before 2030.

The electric vehicle (EV) industry has been going through turmoil, and barring market leader Tesla (TSLA), no other player has been able to make money in the U.S. market. Legacy automakers, which announced ambitious vehicle electrification plans, have lately been licking their wounds and booking massive losses.
The quantum of losses the Detroit Big 3 have announced is gigantic. Ford (F) announced a $19.5 billion write-down in its EV business in December 2025. General Motors (GM), which had once declared that it wouldn't sell gasoline cars after 2035, has written down $7.6 billion. Stellantis (STLA), meanwhile, leads the pack with a charge of $26.5 billion.

Both General Motors (NYSE:GM) and Stellantis (NYSE:STLA) shares are trading roughly flat today, at $75 and $6, respectively. Yet, the year-to-date scoreboard tells a more surprising story than the last four sessions suggest.
