Aptiv plc (JE00B783TY65) closed at $45.44 on August 27, 2026, after an after-hours print of $45.70 and a market cap of $9.616 billion. The stock has fallen 40.28% year to date, while the 52-week range now sits at $45.28 to $88.93.
The latest trading setup follows a recent rating update from Aptiv's market snapshot, where Evercore ISI kept an Outperform call and reduced its target to $70 from $80 on August 10, 2026. That leaves the shares trading below the updated target and under the average price estimate of $66.61 shown in the same snapshot.
Second-quarter figures
Aptiv's most recent quarter ended June 30, 2026, with revenue of $3.27 billion and earnings of $248 million, according to the company data displayed in the market snapshot. The same quarter showed estimated EPS of $1.40 and actual EPS of $1.60, a beat of $0.20.
The quarter also carried a profit margin of 7.57%, while the trailing figures in the same source show revenue of $20.52 billion, net income of $470 million, and diluted EPS of $2.21. Those trailing numbers are not the quarter itself, but they help frame how sharply valuation has reset after the 2026 run of weaker sentiment.
AI hardware tie-in
One visible company-specific catalyst is the August 25, 2026 collaboration around NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano 2, where Aptiv said it is accelerating production-ready physical AI. The move ties Aptiv's vehicle-electronics and software stack to a broader edge-AI theme that investors have been rewarding across the sector.
For Aptiv, the detail that matters is not hype but mix: automotive electronics, intelligent safety systems, and connected hardware remain the core, and the latest quarter's $3.27 billion in revenue shows scale even as the share price sits near the lower end of its 52-week band.
Products and position
Aptiv's business spans intelligent vehicle systems, connection systems, and electrical distribution technologies for automakers and industrial customers. The company said it had 140,000 employees before the electrical distribution spin-off completed on March 31, 2026, which gives the current group a leaner operating base than in the past.
Stock level to watch
As of August 27, 2026, Aptiv traded at $45.44, with intraday volume of 4,775,305 shares and an average volume of 3,681,958. The 5-year return shown in the same market snapshot is -70.95%, underscoring how much sentiment has changed since the stock's stronger cycle.
