Analysts on Wall Street are optimistic about a handful of stocks that they say are in the middle of a turnaround.

But Jefferies analyst Philippe Houchois said Stellantis has “laid foundations for global relevance” under new CEO Antonio Filosa through partnerships with Chinese companies and plans to build out new technology platforms. “Data suggests the earnings slide is about to turn. A new internal CEO can move fast on overdue decisions, from brands to footprint and technology,” Houchois said in a June 25 note, where he upgraded the stock to buy from hold. “Autos look more challenged than ever, but many STLA operating issues are self-inflicted and fixable.” “Shares trading on 4x 2026E un-recovered earnings, with a solid balance sheet and low expectations of change, indicates to us the risk has shifted to the upside for a company that, more than once, defied adversity and showed an above industry sense of value and capital allocation,” he added.
