Latest analysis

Updated Aug 4, 2026

Aptiv posts Q2 2026 revenue of $3.3 billion (+2% YoY) as first standalone quarter post-EDS spin-off; non-auto diversification and margin expansion offset EMEA weakness and negative free cash flow.

Aptiv's inaugural quarter as 'New Aptiv' — following the April 1, 2026 spin-off of Electrical Distribution Systems into Versigent PLC — delivered Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion to 18.7% from 17.1%, driven by volume gains in North America (+10%) and Asia Pacific (+6%), with double-digit non-automotive revenue growth signaling early diversification traction. Free cash flow turned sharply negative at $12 million versus $219 million in Q2 2025, reflecting elevated working capital consumption and separation costs that management frames as transitory. Full-year guidance of $12.6–$12.8 billion in net sales and Adjusted EBITDA of $2.31–$2.37 billion holds, but EMEA declines of 8% and rising commodity costs are the primary margin risks the remaining auto-centric segment must absorb.
