Aptiv PLC
Aptiv makes the electrical and electronic hardware that lets modern vehicles work. It sells wiring harnesses, connectors, control modules, safety systems, and software-linked vehicle architecture that move power and data around the car. Its products sit deep inside the vehicle, where they help automakers build cars that are safer, more connected, and ready for more electronics and electrification. Its main customers are global automakers and other vehicle makers, including companies that build passenger cars and commercial vehicles. Aptiv earns money by supplying these parts and systems to vehicle programs, often working closely with customers on design and integration. In some areas it also provides engineering and technology support tied to the hardware it sells. What makes Aptiv different is that it is not a consumer brand or a simple parts seller. It plays a core role in the vehicle supply chain by providing the backbone for power distribution, data flow, safety features, and advanced driver-assistance systems. That puts it at the center of the shift toward vehicles with more electronics, more software, and more complex electrical architecture.

Results: Aptiv reported first-quarter revenue of $5.1 billion, up 1% adjusted, with adjusted EBITDA of $752 million and record EPS of $1.71.
Portfolio shift: The company completed the separation of its Electrical Distribution Systems business into Versigent and is now focused on New Aptiv's higher-growth software and optimized hardware businesses.
Bookings: Customer awards were strong at $4.6 billion in the quarter, and management reiterated confidence in more than $20 billion of bookings for 2026.
Margins: FX and commodity inflation hurt margins more than expected in the quarter, and management said input costs have risen further since the last guide, especially tied to the Middle East conflict.
Outlook: Full-year 2026 guidance was maintained, with adjusted revenue growth still expected at 4% midpoint and adjusted EBITDA of $2.4 billion midpoint, despite higher commodity pressure.
Growth areas: Management highlighted double-digit growth in software and services, high single-digit growth in nonautomotive, and growing traction in robotics, drones, aerospace, defense, and data centers.
China and mix: Near-term China and customer-mix headwinds weighed on the quarter, but management expects improvement in the second half as delayed launches ramp and prior program cancellations anniversary.
