Autoliv Q3 Misses: Adjusted EPS $2.19 vs $2.31 Expected, Revenue Down 0.5%
ALV is trading near its 52-week low of $99.16 (14% above the low) on elevated volume (2.0× avg).
Summary
Autoliv posted Q3 adjusted EPS of $2.19, below the $2.31 consensus and down from $2.32 a year ago. Revenue slipped 0.5% to $2.69 billion, also short of the $2.73 billion analysts expected. Reported EPS was $2.13 on net income of $155 million. The miss lands alongside the 2026 guidance issued this morning — roughly flat organic sales and about a 10.5% adjusted operating margin — so the quarter's 9.7% adjusted margin is running below that full-year target. This is the first miss after three straight beats (Jun, Mar, Dec quarters), which is the part that matters for the thesis.
