Stellantis closed 2025 with net revenues of 153,5 billion euros, down 2% compared to 2024. The group attributed the responsibility for this negative trend mainly to the negative effects of exchange rates and the decline in net prices in the first half of the year. According to Stellantis CEO, Antonio Filosa, the electrification process had a significant impact. And he had no problem admitting it.

Filosa and the cost of the energy transition
“Our results for the 2025 financial year reflect the cost of overestimating the pace of the energy transition and the need to reset our business by putting at the center the freedom of customers to choose within a full range of technologies: electric, hybrid and internal combustion,” he explained. Translated: the gradual return to technological neutrality could bear fruit, aiming only for electric is not the solution.
Return to technological neutrality
“In the second half of the year we started to see the first positive signs of progress, thanks to the initial results of the actions taken to improve quality, the solid execution of the launches of our new wave of products and the return to revenue growth,” Filosa added. Looking ahead to 2026, he concluded: “Our focus will be to continue to close the execution gaps of the past, further accelerating towards a return to profitable growth.”
