1154 GMT - The new Stellantis CEO faces falling sales in both the U.S. and Europe, and will almost certainly seek to reverse the trend by speeding up new model launches and honing pricing strategies, CMC Markets chief market analyst Jochen Stanzl writes. "At the same time, this presents an ideal opportunity to sharpen Stellantis's somewhat labyrinthine brand architecture, under which no fewer than fourteen marques sit." Stanzl says it will be intriguing to see how the new CEO refines the company's electrification roadmap--with EV uptake softer than expected, a stronger emphasis on hybrids may well be in store.
