1029 GMT - Stellantis's guidance for positive revenue growth, a mid-single digits adjusted operating margin and positive industrial free cash flow is in line with what UBS had expected, but it might be a slight disappointment to some investors, analyst Patrick Hummel writes. "The mid-single digit percent adjusted operating income margin guide leaves over 10% downside risk to consensus for 2025 and no new share buyback isn't supportive either." The 2024 adjusted operating income missed expectations by 8% on a lower-than-expected 5.5% margin, Hummel says. The 0.68 euros a share dividend is a slight positive surprise versus the 0.58 euros expected by consensus, he adds. Shares in the auto maker trade 4.2% lower at 12.93 euros.
