Market Chatter: Stellantis Targets Core Brands for Increased Investment in Sweeping Strategic Reset

MT Newswires Live04-24

Stellantis (STLA) plans to direct the bulk of its future investment toward Jeep, Ram, Peugeot, and Fiat under Chief Executive Antonio Filosa's turnaround strategy, Reuters reported Friday, citing unnamed sources familiar with the plan.

The carmaker is set to unveil the long-term plan in May, focusing on strengthening its most profitable global brands while streamlining its sprawling 14-brand portfolio, the industry's largest, the report said.

The plan will channel more funding to four core marques seen as key growth and profit drivers, while brands like Citroen, Opel, Alfa Romeo, and Lancia will continue operating with reduced investment, Reuters said.

Stellantis' falling valuation and market share, alongside rising competition from Chinese automakers, are driving a strategy rethink ahead of its May update, it added.

Stellantis didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
