Visteon Posts $5M Third-Quarter Net Income
VC is trading near its 52-week low of $83.49 (1.6% above the low).
Summary
Visteon reported third-quarter net income of $5 million, a thin profit line for a company with a roughly $2.3 billion market value, on sales of $970 million, up 6%. The result follows a Q2 that was hit by restructuring costs and lower customer production volumes, so the key question is whether this quarter's profit reflects a real rebound or just a lighter cost drag. The stock is trading near its 52-week low of $83.49, so the bar for this print is low and the market reaction will hinge on revenue and margin detail beyond the headline net figure. The company cut its EBITDA guidance while lifting its sales guidance. Visteon still has an $800 million buyback authorization and a $200 million accelerated repurchase from July in place, which supports per-share results.
