Frozen research, dated company evidence
The released September research uses the September 18, 2026 archived €4.20 anchor for STLAP on Euronext Paris. This is a EUR listing, not the NYSE USD listing, and not a live quote. The synthesized €5.12 one-year and €9.34 five-year paths are forecasts. They are not achieved returns, probabilities or instructions to trade. The four quarterly bear/base/bull checkpoints are averaged cases; the synthesized consensus uses a separate aggregation. The full twenty-step path is linked above.
The company reported a €22.3 billion FY2025 net loss and €25.4 billion unusual charges; these accounting lines should not be added as separate losses. Approximately €6.5 billion of H2 reset charges involve cash payments over four years. The 2026 dividend was suspended, and future model dividends are not guaranteed income.
July 30 results showed Q2 revenue of €43.5 billion, 1.8% adjusted operating margin and €1.0 billion industrial free cash flow. H1 net profit was €670 million, while industrial free cash flow was negative €921 million. Profit, consolidated operating cash flow and the company's non-GAAP industrial free cash flow are distinct measures. Industrial available liquidity of €44.1 billion includes committed undrawn facilities; it is not all surplus cash. Management guided to improved industrial free cash flow in 2026 and positive industrial free cash flow in 2027; it did not guarantee the outcome.
The evidence that could change the thesis
North American adjusted operating margin above 4% and durable industrial cash generation through H1 2027 are research watchpoints, not management guidance. The next confirmed company reporting event is October 28, 2026 Q3 results. Model quarterly windows are monitoring scenarios, not confirmed reporting dates.
This is our first full Stellantis episode. No comparable Stellantis asset record was found in the July batch, so no like-for-like earlier model revision is claimed. Fourteen AI advisor perspectives contribute to the research; they are not fourteen independent human analysts. Rating labels and projected return direction measure different things, and a majority view is not proof of forecasting accuracy.
