Adient Eyes 2027 Margin Growth as Onshoring Wins and Automation Build Momentum

Adient (ADNT) plans to improve margins by 2027 through onshoring, automation, and restructuring. The company expects to reduce Americas revenue by $100M due to metals business cuts. Automation spending is increasing, and Europe's margins may rise from 2.5% to 4.5%. China's shift to local manufacturers has caused margin pressure, but growth is expected. Free cash flow for 2026 is estimated at $130M, with share buybacks and debt reduction planned.
