The company’s earnings surprise history has been impressive. It surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, delivering an earnings surprise of 10.6% on average.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $3.16 billion, indicating a decline of 39.3% year over year due to continued effects from the recent spin-off of its Electrical Distribution Systems business into Versigent, partially offset by recently expanded partnerships with technological firms and new customer wins.
The company secured its first Gen 8 radar award from Volvo Cars and additional business for its Gen 6 advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) platform. APTV has expanded its software capabilities through partnerships with NVIDIA and Kyndryl, extending its reach into edge AI and mission-critical enterprise applications.
The consensus estimate for Engineered Components' revenues is pegged at $1.75 billion, indicating a 2.2% year-over-year increase. Adjusted operating income is expected to be $297.4 million, suggesting a marginal year-over-year decline. Rising adoption of ADAS and software-defined vehicles is likely to have contributed to the segment’s top line, partly offset by weakness in the Chinese automotive market and lower European vehicle exports.
The consensus mark for Intelligent Systems revenues is pegged at $1.45 billion, indicating a marginal year-over-year increase. Adjusted operating income is expected to decline 15.5% to $138.6 million. Higher commodity prices, especially resins and metals, have increased input costs following the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Delays in customer vehicle launches and slower-than-expected production ramps are also likely to defer revenue recognition and affect operating performance.
The consensus estimate for earnings is pegged at $1.33 per share, indicating a year-over-year decline of 38.7%. We expect collectively decreasing operating income to have negatively impacted the bottom line in the quarter.
