MILAN, Aug 3 (Reuters) - Carmaker Stellantis said on Tuesday it was raising its full-year target on its adjusted operating profit margin to around 10% after strong financial results in the first half.
That compares with a previous forecast of between 5.5%-7.5%.
In the January-June period pro-forma adjusted earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) at the world's fourth-largest carmaker amounted to 8.622 billion euros ($10.24 billion) versus 752 million a year earlier, topping analyst expectations of 5.938 billion euros in a Reuters poll.
The group's EBIT margin stood at 11.4% in the first six months, with North America posting a record 16.1%. ($1 = 0.8422 euros) (Reporting by Giulio Piovaccari; editing by Agnieszka Flak)
