Stellantis announced that its U. S. auto workers will not receive a profit‑sharing check for 2025. The decision marks the first time since early 2011 that hourly employees under the company’s name or its predecessors have missed out on a bonus. Two years ago, workers earned nearly $14, 000 each; last year’s payout was only $3, 780, a 73 percent drop.

The company said the year would be “very challenging” because of a deep business reset. North American results fell short of the minimum thresholds set in the 2023 UAW agreement, so no profit share is payable. Stellantis hopes that recent moves—such as reintroducing the Hemi V‑8 in the Ram 1500—will turn profits around by 2026.

In contrast, UAW members at Ford and General Motors are slated for sizable checks of $6, 780 and $10, 500. Those amounts come from the 2023 labor agreement that rewards employees with $900 per 1 percent of profit margin, adjusted for hours worked. Ford and GM both saw their payouts shrink from record highs the year before.

Stellantis’ 2025 profit margin in North America was negative 3. 1 percent, down from 4. 2 percent last year and a steep drop from 15. 4 percent in 2023. U. S. vehicle sales fell for the seventh consecutive year, though shipments and revenue improved in the second half of 2024. The company cited product mix issues, high tariff costs under President Trump, warranty expenses and heavy incentive spending as reasons for the weak performance.

The decision to withhold profit sharing comes alongside the company’s quarterly earnings release. Stellantis expects that the “decisive actions” it has taken will help the business recover and produce better results in 2026.
