Stellantis Faces Tough Road Ahead in North America Turnaround
Stellantis is pushing hard for a comeback, but its North American operations are throwing a wrench in the recovery plan.
If you've been watching Stellantis — the automaker behind Jeep, Ram, and Dodge — you might have noticed the company has been on a mission to prove it can turn things around after a rough stretch.

Investors and analysts watching the stock are understandably nervous when the home base isn't performing the way the recovery roadmap promised.
