Why is Sensata Technologies stock sliding today?

Sensata Technologies (ST) stock fell 1.9% after hours despite beating Q3 earnings estimates ($1.13 EPS, $1.004B revenue) due to lower-than-expected Q4 revenue guidance ($942M-$972M vs. $970.9M consensus). Concerns include a one-time $24M payment inflating Q3 results and a 4% YoY decline in global light vehicle production in Q4, driven by China's auto market.
