Aptiv Slashes 2026 Revenue Outlook by $400M on China Weakness, Customer Delays
APTV is trading near its 52-week low of $46.415 (3.0% above the low) on elevated volume (3.9× avg).
Summary
Aptiv cut its 2026 revenue forecast to $12.6B–$12.8B, down from $12.8B–$13.2B, citing $150M in headwinds from softer Chinese and European automaker demand and another $100M from delayed vehicle programs, including a postponed European launch. The stock tumbled 16%, adding to an earlier 15.6% drop after the EPS guidance cut. This follows this morning's Q2 beat and $250M buyback announcement, but the outlook deterioration overshadows those positives. The CFO's detailed breakdown on the earnings call reveals the revenue miss is driven by specific, ongoing operational setbacks rather than a broad macro slowdown, raising concerns about execution. With shares near a 52-week low, the market is pricing in further downside risk if these program delays extend.
At the time of this announcement, APTV was trading at $47.82 on NYSE in the Manufacturing sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $10.1B. The 52-week trading range was $46.42 to $78.49.
