Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:STLA) shares rose in premarket trading after the company reported estimated consolidated shipments of 1.4 million units for the first quarter of 2026.

The figure marks a 12% year-over-year increase driven by strength in North America and Europe.

North America And Europe Drive Growth

North America shipments rose by approximately 54,000 units, or 17%, driven by demand for Ram 1500 HEMI V8 and Jeep models.

Growth was supported by Jeep Grand Wagoneer and the all-new Jeep Cherokee, partially offset by lower Jeep Compass volumes.

In Enlarged Europe, shipments increased by about 69,000 units, up 12%, led by new passenger car launches.

Smart Car platform models surged 85%, while Leapmotor-branded shipments reached around 27,000 units, reflecting growing commercial momentum in the region.

Mixed Performance Across Other Regions

Middle East and Africa shipments grew by roughly 11,000 units, or 11%, driven mainly by Türkiye and supported by Algeria.

Volumes in Gulf Cooperation Council countries declined significantly during the period. South American shipments rose by about 8,000 units, or 4%, with gains in Brazil offsetting a decline in Argentina.

Shipment Data Reflects Revenue Activity

Stellantis said the figures are unaudited and represent vehicles delivered to dealers, distributors, or customers, which typically drive revenue recognition.
