XPEL (XPEL) has partnered with Stellantis (STLA) to bring automotive protection to a unique Jeep vehicle for the 2026 Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah. For this year's event, XPEL collaborated with the Jeep brand to protect their new, outfitted-for-adventure 2026 Jeep Gladiator "Shadow Ops" Special Edition, built to highlight Jeep's legendary off-road capability at one of the largest Jeep gatherings in the U.S. The Jeep Gladiator Shadow Ops Edition has been fully equipped with XPEL STEALTH Paint Protection Film, which protects exterior paint surfaces from rock chips, scratches and trail debris while delivering a distinctive satin finish. To help shield occupants from the intense desert sun and maintain interior comfort, the vehicle also features XPEL PRIME XR PLUS nano-ceramic window film, providing industry-leading heat rejection and UV protection.

The company said, "The company expects first quarter 2026 revenue of approximately $112-$114 million."
