The stock has had a bumpy ride, with an 8.2% gain over the last 7 days, a 20.8% decline over the last 30 days, and returns of 31.6% lower year to date and 46.1% lower over the past year. The 3 year and 5 year returns are 47.7% and 25.2% lower respectively.

Simply Wall St currently scores Stellantis at 3 out of 6 on its valuation checks. Next we will look at how different valuation methods line up with that score and then finish with a more holistic way to think about what the stock might be worth.

Find out why Stellantis’s -46.1% return over the last year is lagging behind its peers.

Approach 1: Stellantis Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Analysis

A Discounted Cash Flow model estimates what a company might be worth by projecting its future cash flows and then discounting those back to today to get a single present value per share.

For Stellantis, the model used here is a 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity approach. The latest twelve month free cash flow is a loss of about €10.9b, so the starting point is currently negative. Analysts and extrapolations then project free cash flow turning positive and reaching about €1.35b in 2028, with a set of annual projections extending out to 2035, all in € and shown in billions.

When those projected cash flows are discounted back, the model arrives at an estimated intrinsic value of about €4.10 per share. Compared with the current share price, this implies the stock is around 61.9% overvalued according to this DCF output. On this measure, the market price sits well above the modelled cash flow value.

Result: OVERVALUED

Approach 2: Stellantis Price vs Sales

For companies where earnings can be volatile, investors often lean on the P/S ratio because sales tend to be more stable and less affected by one off items. It gives you a quick sense of how much you are paying for each euro of revenue.

What counts as a normal P/S ratio usually reflects the growth investors expect and how risky they think the business is. Higher growth and lower perceived risk can justify a higher multiple, while slower growth or higher uncertainty tend to pull it down.

Stellantis currently trades on a P/S of 0.13x. That sits well below the Auto industry average of 0.77x and also below the peer group average of 2.45x. Simply Wall St’s Fair Ratio metric, which estimates an appropriate P/S multiple given factors like earnings growth, profit margins, industry, market cap and risk profile, stands at 0.50x for Stellantis.

The Fair Ratio is more tailored than a simple industry or peer comparison because it adjusts for the company’s own characteristics instead of assuming it should trade like the average auto stock. Comparing the current 0.13x P/S to the 0.50x Fair Ratio suggests the shares are trading below what this framework would imply.

Result: UNDERVALUED

Upgrade Your Decision Making: Choose your Stellantis Narrative

Earlier we mentioned that there is an even better way to understand valuation. On Simply Wall St’s Community page you can use Narratives, where you set out your story for Stellantis, link that story to specific revenue, earnings and margin assumptions, and see a Fair Value that updates automatically when new information like news or earnings arrives. You can then compare this with the current price to decide whether it looks more like a buy or a sell to you. For example, you might choose between a more optimistic view that might line up with fair values in the mid teens per share and a more cautious view closer to €6.00 per share.

For Stellantis however, here are previews of two leading Stellantis narratives:

🐂 Stellantis Bull Case

Fair value: €9.93 per share

Current price vs this fair value: about 33.1% below that estimate

Assumed revenue growth: 5.87% a year

Analysts in this camp highlight electrification, new model launches and software investments as potential supports for revenue and margin improvement into 2026 and beyond.

They factor in earnings rising to €7.6b by about 2028 with profit margins recovering from a current loss position to positive mid single digits.

Their consensus price target of €9.44 and a fair value near €9.93 reflects the view that Stellantis could justify a modest P/E on those future earnings if execution on costs and margins stays on track.

🐻 Stellantis Bear Case

Fair value: €6.00 per share

Current price vs this fair value: about 10.7% above that estimate

Assumed revenue growth: 3.52% a year

This group is more cautious, focusing on Stellantis' reliance on internal combustion vehicles, a wide brand portfolio and rising input and tariff costs that could pressure margins.

They still build in improving earnings to €6.6b by about 2028, but pair that with a lower assumed P/E multiple of 3.6x to reflect execution and competitive risks.

Their €6.00 price target suggests they see current market expectations as demanding for a company facing intense EV competition, cost headwinds and ongoing questions around software and product focus.

Viewed together, these two narratives outline a range for what different analysts think Stellantis might be worth and what would need to happen on revenue, margins and earnings for each view to make sense.
