Ram HD 3500: FY 2025 Guidance
The first quarter of 2025 for Stellantis was characterized by a challenging commercial transition, resulting in a 9% decline in consolidated shipments to 1.2 million units and a 14% decrease in net revenues to €35.8 billion. These results were primarily driven by lower production volumes in North America due to extended holiday downtime, product transition impacts, and price normalization. Despite these headwinds, the company reported early signs of recovery, including a 190-basis-point sequential increase in EU30 market share and an 82% year-over-year surge in U.S. retail order intake for March 2025.
The company is currently executing a significant product wave, featuring the launch of 20 all-new or upgraded nameplates, including refreshed Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks. However, due to heightened uncertainties regarding evolving tariff policies and their potential impact on the competitive environment, management has suspended its 2025 financial guidance. The company is actively managing these risks by calibrating production, engaging with North American government officials, and adjusting inventory levels to protect profitability.
Geographically, performance varied significantly across regions. North America faced a 25% decline in net revenues, while Enlarged Europe saw a 3% decrease. Conversely, South America demonstrated resilience with a 6% revenue increase and maintained a market share of 23.8%. The company continues to monitor market pricing trends and is re-assessing capital spending plans to navigate the current volatility. This report reflects a strategic focus on stabilizing core operations while managing the transition toward a modernized product portfolio amidst a complex global trade landscape.
