AI Analysis

AI-generated, general educational analysis — not personal investment advice.

I approach Autoliv as a cyclical auto-parts supplier, not a bond-like compounder. It sells passive safety systems—airbags, seatbelts, steering wheels—to automakers worldwide. Safety is mission-critical, and scale with 56,515 employees suggests an entrenched position, but it remains tied to vehicle production and customer pricing pressure. The long-term record improved: in fiscal year 2023, the year ended December 31, 2023, revenue was $10.5B and net income was $488.0M, or $5.72 per diluted share; in fiscal year 2024, the year ended December 31, 2024, revenue was $10.4B and net income was $646.0M, or $8.04; in fiscal year 2025, the year ended December 31, 2025, revenue was $10.8B and net income was $735.0M, or $9.55. Recent results are weaker. In fiscal Q2 2026, the quarter ended 2026-06-30, revenue was $2.8B and net income was $100.0M, or $1.35 per diluted share, versus $167.0M and $2.16 in fiscal Q2 2025. The given profit growth figure is -40.12%. Financial health is mixed: FairStock calculations show ROE of 25.86%, ROCE of 8.29%, debt-to-equity of 0.88, Altman Z-Score of 1.63, and Piotroski F-Score of 6/9. Free cash flow is $757.0M, a 9.1% yield, and dividend yield is 2.97%. At the 2026-10-13 close of $113.79, FairStock shows P/E 13.42, P/B 3.35, EV/EBITDA 7.11, and Graham Number $80.57, a -41.23% margin of safety. So the price is not demanding on earnings and cash flow, but Graham would want a larger discount and a sturdier balance sheet. A cyclical with falling profits deserves caution.

In plain English: Autoliv makes airbags, seatbelts, steering wheels and other safety parts for cars. Sales have grown slowly, and its latest quarterly profit fell sharply from a year earlier, so the business looks tied to the car market and under pressure. At $113.79, the shares look inexpensive compared with profit but not cheap by one old-fashioned value check.
