On July 30, Stellantis NV fell 7.65% overnight, trading at $5.55/share, with turnover of $453,200. The decline was triggered by the company's H1 earnings release showing adjusted EPS of $0.37, missing the consensus estimate of $0.41.
While Q2 net revenue rose 13% year-over-year to €43.5 billion, slightly exceeding the €43.4 billion analyst forecast, and Q2 adjusted operating income surged to €773 million from €213 million a year ago, the overall earnings shortfall sparked selling pressure. The company also reported Q2 net profit of €300 million, representing a turnaround from a loss in the prior-year period.
The earnings miss compounded recent institutional bearishness. Piper Sandler downgraded Stellantis from Overweight to Underweight on July 27, slashing its price target from $14 to $4. JPMorgan downgraded to Neutral on July 9 with a $6.85 target, and HSBC downgraded to Reduce. Deutsche Bank also cut its target to €5.5. The convergence of below-expectation profitability and widespread analyst downgrades intensified downward pressure on shares.
