Stellantis (NYSE:STLA) stock is rising on Wednesday as investors react to news about the company’s share buyback plan.

A press release from the company reveals a 1.5 billion euro share buyback plan with the company intending to cancel the shares to acquire. The program will run through Dec. 31, 2023 and covers STLA stock listed on the New York Stock Exchange, Euronext Milan and Euronext Paris exchanges.

According to Stellantis, the company can move forward with this share buyback plan thanks to its “significant cash flow generation and strong balance sheet.” The company says this allows it to do so with adequate liquidity while navigating a “variety of economic and market backdrops.”
