Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:STLA) shares rose nearly 1% in Tuesday's premarket session after the automaker announced a new real-world autonomous-driving testing program with its technology partners.



The move came as U.S. index ETFs also traded higher before the opening bell.



<h2>What Is Stellantis’ New Autonomous Mobility Pilot?</h2>



Bolt, Pony.ai (NASDAQ:PONY), and Stellantis are launching an autonomous mobility pilot testing program in Luxembourg to validate safety, performance, and regulatory readiness in local traffic, with the group targeting &#34;fully driverless readiness&#34; by the end of the program.



The pilot uses Pony.ai's seventh-generation autonomous system and a Stellantis midsize van built on its L4-Ready Platform.



<h2>Stellantis' Chrysler Recalls 1.09M Vehicles Over Fire Risk</h2>



Chrysler's latest recalls cover about 1.09 million vehicles, citing fire risks even when parked. 



The larger action affects 2021–2025 Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator models over power steering wiring; a smaller recall covers 2020–2022 Pacifica PHEVs due to battery-pack fire risk. 



Owners are advised to park outside, while Pacifica owners should avoid charging until free repairs are available.



<h2>STLA Stock: Key Levels To Watch Today</h2>



Even after Tuesday's early bounce, STLA remains in a longer-term downtrend, trading below all major moving averages — about 6.3% under its 20-day SMA ($7.59) and 22.3% below its 200-day SMA ($9.15). With the 20-day SMA below the 50-day and February's death cross still intact, the broader setup remains bearish.



Momentum is not yet signaling a clean reversal. MACD remains below its signal line with a negative histogram, suggesting rallies still need stronger follow-through buying to avoid fading.



The stock is trying to stabilize after its March 52-week low but has yet to reclaim key trend zones where sellers have recently stepped in.



<ul>
<li>Key Resistance: $8.50 — a round-number area near declining intermediate-term averages where rebounds may stall.</li>



<li>Key Support: $7.00 — a nearby round-number level that could serve as a near-term line in the sand.</li>
</ul>



<h2>STLA Earnings Preview: What Analysts Expect for July 2026</h2>



The next major catalyst for the stock arrives with the July 30, 2026 (confirmed) earnings report.



<ul>
<li>EPS Estimate: 23 cents (Up from 20 cents YoY)</li>



<li>Revenue Estimate: $46.56 Billion (Down from $84.24 Billion YoY)</li>
</ul>



Analyst Consensus &amp; Recent Actions: The stock carries a Buy rating with an average price target of $11.50. Recent analyst moves include:



<ul>
<li>Freedom Broker: Downgraded to Hold (Lowers Target to $8.00) (March 2)</li>



<li>Freedom Broker: Upgraded to Buy (Lowers Target to $9.00) (Feb. 10)</li>



<li>Piper Sandler: Upgraded to Overweight (Raises Target to $15.00) (Jan. 8)</li>
</ul>
