After a nearly 6-month search, Stellantis names former Jeep boss as its new CEO

Stellantis, the fourth-largest global automaker, announced a fresh CEO on Wednesday: company insider Antonio Filosa. Shares were mostly flat on the news.

The move comes nearly six months after the Stellantis board essentially ousted former chief Carlos Tavares amid abysmal US performance. The Jeep and Chrysler maker’s profit plummeted 70% last year and its US sales fell 15%.

Last year wasn’t an outlier, though; Stellantis’ US sales have fallen every year since 2018. At this year’s Detroit Auto Show, Filosa told reporters that US market share was the company’s top priority.

Filosa, who became the head of Jeep in 2023, will officially take the helm June 23, right around when most of the industry plans to end their tariff discounts and start hiking vehicle prices in earnest.

Lucid climbs after Uber revealed to be its second-largest shareholder following recent investment

Shares of luxury EV maker Lucid are up more than 7% in premarket trading on Tuesday, following the release of a regulatory filing that revealed Uber is now its second-largest shareholder, trailing only Saudi Arabia’s PIF sovereign wealth fund.

The news follows an announcement earlier this month that Uber and Lucid would expand their robotaxi partnership from 20,000 planned vehicles to 35,000. Along with the expansion, Uber also said it would invest an additional $200 million into the EV maker.

Per Monday afternoon’s filing, it seems that investment pushed Uber’s ownership stake in Lucid to 11.52%.

Lucid’s stock is down 29% in April. It hit an all-time low of $6.75 on Monday ahead of the regulatory filing becoming public.

In a mark of just how painful the slide has been for Lucid shareholders, as of Monday, the company’s market cap had dropped to a quarter of the approximately $9.5 billion that Saudi Arabia’s PIF has sunk into it.
