Stellantis' will adapt to changes in the U.S. car market expected under a Trump government, CEO Carlos Tavares said on Monday, with a platform that can offer electric, hybrid or gasoline versions of its models.

Morgan Stanley has increased its 12-month base case price target on the S&P 500 to 6,500, the firm's equity strategist Michael Wilson and other strategists wrote in a note on Monday. According to the note, the firm expects the recent broadening in U.S. earnings growth to continue in 2025 as the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates into next year and as business cycle indicators improve further. "A potential rise in corporate animal spirits post the election (as we saw following the 2016 election) could catalyze a more balanced earnings profile across the market in 2025," the strategists added.
