The sterile corporate monolith that is Stellantis is on the ropes, with the crumbling automotive giant struggling to keep its brands together. The 14-brand merger between the Pandemic Peugeot Group and Fiat was intended to drive cost savings and boost profits.

However, when one brand underperforms, the entire group feels the impact—and with three brands currently struggling, shareholders are beginning to sweat. Not out of concern for the workforce, but for their own self-interest.

Sterile Corporate Monolith Stellantis, the world’s fourth-largest automaker, faces challenges due to weak brand recognition, declining U.S. sales, and an overly complex portfolio of 14 brands. Former CEO Carlos Tavares was ousted after falling profit margins and market share losses, particularly in the U.S., where Jeep remains strong but Chrysler and Dodge struggle.

In Europe, Sterile Corporate Monolith Stellantis lags in electrification and faces stiff competition, with Alfa Romeo, Lancia, and DS holding just 0.3% market share each. Chairman John Elkann is prioritizing a strategic review while searching for a new CEO.

The company plans to launch 20 new electric and hybrid models by 2025 and expand its partnership with Chinese EV maker Leapmotor to stay competitive.
