Insights
Stellantis adds sizeable hybrid capital to bolster balance sheet resilience.
Stellantis is issuing subordinated perpetual hybrid bonds in three tranches: €2.2 billion at 6.250%, €1.8 billion at 6.875%, and £865 million at 8.250%, all perpetual with fixed-rate periods until their first reset dates. These securities are subordinated and non-callable for 5.25, 8, and 6.5 years respectively.
Hybrid bonds are typically treated partly as equity by rating agencies, so this structure can support leverage metrics while providing long-term funding. In return, Stellantis commits to relatively high coupons in euro and sterling, which lock in funding costs at the stated rates until the reset dates.
The issuance fully uses the Board’s authorization to issue up to €5 billion of subordinated perpetual hybrids and is described as strengthening capital structure and liquidity. Subsequent disclosures in future reports may clarify how this hybrid layer interacts with Stellantis’ broader debt profile and capital allocation.
