According to PSA CEO Philippe Varin, the company has been losing €200 million a month and posted a €819 million net loss in the first six months of the year. 

The decision to drop the stock is based on available shares, market capitalization and revenue trends. 

Peugeot has been on the CAC 40 index since it began in 1987. It is currently the index's smallest member and makes up 0.22% of the index. 

Peugeot will be replaced in the index by chemical and plastics company Solvay.
