Analysis · BWA · Manufacturing
BorgWarner delivered a strong second quarter, with adjusted EPS of $1.42 beating expectations and rising 17.4% year-over-year. Management raised full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $5.05–$5.30, reflecting confidence in margin expansion and the impact of share repurchases. The board authorized an additional $1 billion for buybacks, bringing the total program to approximately $1.35 billion through 2029 — a significant return of capital to shareholders. Seven new program awards across eTurbos, inverters, and integrated drive modules reinforce the long-term growth pipeline. The results and capital allocation moves come against a backdrop of recent insider selling, making the buyback expansion a notable offsetting signal.
