The US Car Industry Starts to Implode
Briefly

Stellantis N.V. predicts a $2.7 billion earnings loss in the first half of the year, primarily due to tariffs that may raise EU import prices by 30%. In North America, Stellantis experienced a 25% sales decline year over year. A proposed 25% tariff on imported cars and parts could increase new car prices by $7,500, negatively impacting sales for Ford and General Motors. With car owners tending to keep their vehicles longer, rising prices could drastically affect new car sales, further weakening the market.

A 25% tariff on cars and parts imported by American manufacturers could raise new car prices by as much as $7,500, significantly impacting sales volumes.
U.S. car companies are built for annual sales of 15.9 million, with GM holding a 17% market share and Ford 13%, making their revenue reliant on U.S. performance.
A spike in car prices due to proposed tariffs could lead to a terrible shock in the U.S. car business, impacting buyer decisions and sales.
