what happened
According to TradingView, Autoliv's third-quarter net sales came in at $2.693 billion, down 0.5% from a year earlier. The adjusted operating margin reached 9.7%, while diluted earnings per share were $2.13, 6.8% lower than a year before.
For 2026, the company expects organic sales growth of about 0%, a positive currency effect of roughly 2.5% on net sales, an adjusted operating margin of around 10.5%, and operating cash flow of about $1.2 billion.
During the third quarter, Autoliv repurchased $150 million of shares and paid $63 million in dividends.
why it matters
The key signal for investors is that the margin outlook has moved toward the low end because of higher costs. Operating cash flow of about $1.2 billion supports shareholder payouts and may cushion the stock's reaction. For the auto components sector, this points to pressure on profitability.
market impact
Autoliv shares: weaker margins and earnings add pressure, while cash flow partly cushions the risk.
