What happened
Stellantis announced a 10% cut in EV battery-related production in Italy. Separately, a 97% Unifor strike authorization was reported in Canada. The company's shares have dropped 62.72% this year, and the consensus estimate for third-quarter earnings per share has fallen significantly. The company warned that summer shutdowns and raw material inflation would weigh on third-quarter results.
