Top Financial Stocks To Buy Right Now

tags:WRI,CBAN,CS,EWBC,OLP,

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV plans to form its own financing business in the U.S. and has started discussions with partner Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc., which it has an option to buy out.

That would allow Fiat Chrysler to “participate more fully in capturing value from emerging platforms,” Chief Financial Officer Richard Palmer said Friday in a presentation near Turin, Italy, confirming a Bloomberg report earlier in the week that the automaker was considering such a plan.

Buying out Dallas-based Santander Consumer could add $500 million to $800 million in incremental pretax earnings within four years, Palmer said. Fiat could also start its own business, in which case the automaker envisions about $100 million in incremental profit, he said.

Fiat Chrysler shares fell 4.1 percent to $22.27 at 10:07 a.m. in New York, while Santander Consumer gained 2.5 percent, after tumbling as much as 9.6 percent on Wednesday following the Bloomberg report.
