The company managed to beat Wall Street’s earnings expectations but missed on revenue. Here’s how Fiat Chrysler performed versus what Wall Street expected, based on average analysts’ estimates compiled by Refinitive.
- Adjusted EPS: A loss of 77 cents (65 euro cents) per share versus a loss of $1.36 (1.15 euros) per share expected.
- Revenue: $13.88 billion (11.71 billion euros) versus $17.54 billion (14.78 billion euros) expected.
Shares of the Italian-American automaker were unchanged Friday during premarket trading. The stock closed Thursday at $10.50, down 3.9{3c4481f38fc19dde56b7b1f4329b509c88239ba5565146922180ec5012de023f}.
Analysts and investors are watching to see how much cash Fiat Chrysler burned through in the quarter as well as any guidance for the remainder of the year and beyond regarding the strength of its balance sheet and U.S. production, which restarted in mid-May following a roughly two-month shutdown.
Fiat Chrysler’s earnings follow both of its crosstown rivals, General Motors and Ford Motor, beating Wall Street’s expectations in the second quarter.
