"For its third quarter, Stellantis posted 27% plunge in net revenues, as gaps in launching new products and action to reduce inventories also slashed global shipments of new vehicles by 20%."
This is a look into a crystal ball. I'm 100% certain we will see this with GM sales in the near future. I'm not even sure why/how we are still selling at record levels with high inflation and broke consumers.
Will Mary be asked to step down when it happens, and would she?
Everything changes not just for Mary but for all of us when those sales numbers drop.
A large aspect to the Stellantis story is a European recession. Some could look at this and think, "well that doesn't apply to us." The Great Recession started in Europe in June of 2007. It started in America in December 2007.

"This time is different": Zero growth for Europe in 2023*. Of course the article predicts that the EU would turn that around in 2024, which it DID NOT. Also lots of blame on the pland3mic FWIW. It's amusing that no one ever puts a date on a recession as it's happening. They only point to it later. Will economists admit we were in a recession in 2024 after the orange man takes office? ;)
