Aptiv stock slips after a $300 million guidance cut
Published on 08/20/2026 at 17:17 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Aptiv plc (JE00B783TY65) stock is trading at $48.92, up 0.67%, with market value at $44.6 billion as of August 19, 2026.
That price sits against a sharper 2026 outlook: Aptiv reduced midpoint revenue by $300 million, and the latest view now calls for $12.6 billion to $12.8 billion in sales and adjusted EPS of $5.60 to $5.80.
Guidance reset
The revised forecast points to weaker near-term production schedules, delayed launches and softer timing in software and services sales. The midpoint revenue cut of $300 million is the cleanest signal in the latest update and gives investors a simple benchmark for the change in tone.
In the same readout, second-quarter awards reached $5 billion and year-to-date awards hit $10 billion. That puts the company halfway to its $20 billion full-year target, a useful counterweight to the lower sales plan.
What the numbers say
For the current year, the market is pricing Aptiv against a stock that closed at $48.92, a market cap of $44.6 billion and a forward valuation that Marketscreener lists with enterprise value at 1.12 times revenue for 2026. The shares also trade far below the site's 2026 reference price of $48.92 in the valuation table only because that reference anchors the model, not the market move.
The underlying operating mix still matters. Non-automotive revenue rose 12% in the second quarter, while China revenue increased 5% in the same period, showing where the company is finding offsetting growth even as the core auto cycle stays uneven.
Product mix
Aptiv's vehicle technology stack spans ADAS, radar, digital cockpits and high-voltage interconnects, which keeps the company tied to software-defined and electrified vehicle programs. Those categories matter because they connect the revised 2026 guidance to the next wave of award wins and launch timing.
