Stellantis NV shares fell as investors questioned the sustainability of an apparent turnaround in the key North American market, where its performance was bolstered by price cuts and one-time financial gains.

Analysts cited a lower-than-expected margin in the region in the first quarter, as well as a booked one-time gain of around €400 million ($467 million) for expected future tariff refunds. They took the shine off Stellantis’s return to profit, causing the stock to drop the most since February.
