+3 new sources since this summary was written
Autoliv Inc. posted third‑quarter 2026 net sales of $2,693 million, down 0.5% year‑over‑year, with diluted EPS of $2.13 and adjusted EPS of $2.19. Both revenue and adjusted EPS fell short of consensus estimates of roughly $2.73 billion and $2.31 respectively. The company also narrowed its full‑year adjusted operating‑margin guidance to about 10.5%, the low end of its prior 10.5‑11% range, while maintaining guidance for roughly 0% organic sales growth and $1.2 billion of operating cash flow.
Why it matters
Analysts noted a more than 20% cut to earnings outlook over the past 90 days, and the earnings miss drove the stock down 6.3% in pre‑market trading, limiting upside potential for investors. The trimmed margin guidance reduces expectations for profitability improvement in FY‑26.
