AI Analysis

I approach Dana as a cyclical auto-parts supplier, not a consumer franchise. It makes axles, driveshafts, transmissions and electrification components, but vehicle makers hold pricing power and competition is global. That usually means a thin moat. FairStock labels it a TURNAROUND because it returned to profit after a loss within the last three years. The filed numbers support that: in fiscal 2024, the year ended 2024-12-31, net income was a loss of $57.0M, while in fiscal 2025, the year ended 2025-12-31, net income was $85.0M on revenue of $7.5B. But the recovery is uneven: in fiscal Q4 2025, the quarter ended 2025-12-31, the net loss was $50.0M, and in fiscal Q2 2026, the quarter ended 2026-06-30, the net loss was $5.0M despite revenue of $2.0B. Fiscal Q1 2026, the quarter ended 2026-03-31, showed net income of $1.1B, which distorts trailing figures. Financially, FairStock calculations show ROCE of 2.80%, ROE of -1.63%, D/E of 0.76 and Altman Z of 1.33, so returns are low and leverage is a risk. Free cash flow is positive at $117.0M trailing, a 3.8% yield, but modest. At the 2026-10-13 close of $28.45, P/B is 1.59 and EV/EBITDA is 7.44, not demanding, but the P/E is negative because EPS is -$0.38. Piotroski is 6/9. I would need durable margin and cash-flow improvement before calling this a margin-of-safety bargain.

In plain English: Dana makes parts and systems that help vehicles move and manage power, mainly for car and truck makers. The business has been unstable: it lost money in fiscal 2024, made a small profit in fiscal 2025, and lost a little money again in the latest quarter. At $28.45 on 2026-10-13, the price looks neither clearly cheap nor expensive: it trades around 1.6 times the value of its net assets on the books, but profits are weak and debt is meaningful.
