BorgWarner stock holds firm after a $1.46 million insider sale

BorgWarner Inc. (US0991991063) is trading with a fresh insider-trading backdrop after a Form 4 summary showed EVP Tonit M. Calaway sold 22,000 shares on August 24, 2026 at a weighted average price of $66.2576, or $1.46 million in value. The shares opened at $65.07 on August 26, 2026, while the market value stood at $13.25 billion.
The Form 4 summary shows the sale range at $65.86 to $66.65 and leaves the officer with 73,831 shares. For investors, the more important figure is that BorgWarner also said on August 5, 2026 that second-quarter revenue reached $3.65 billion, up 0.3% from a year earlier, while adjusted EPS came in at $1.42 versus $1.21 in the prior year period.
Q2 beat and guidance
The August 5, 2026 report also showed revenue ahead of the $3.58 billion consensus and EPS ahead of the $1.28 estimate by $0.14. BorgWarner kept FY 2026 EPS guidance at $5.05 to $5.30, and analysts were looking for $5.19 per share for the full year.
That sets up a narrow range for the next stretch of trading. The stock's 52-week range is $40.50 to $78.82, and the 50-day moving average sits at $66.01 versus the 200-day average at $61.87.
What the filing says
The insider sale does not change the operating picture by itself, but it adds another data point to a stock already priced at 32.54 times earnings and a price-to-book profile that investors will keep comparing with the wider auto-supplier group. BorgWarner's net margin in the latest quarter was 2.89%, and return on equity was 19.10%.
The buyback authorization announced with the August 5 results also remains part of the story, with the board approving up to $1.00 billion in repurchases, equal to as much as 7.7% of the stock. That is a concrete capital-allocation signal while the company works through a year in which revenue was stable and guidance stayed intact.
Products and parts
BorgWarner's portfolio includes turbochargers, thermal management systems, transmission components and e-propulsion modules. Those lines tie the company to combustion, hybrid and electric vehicle programs, which makes the revenue mix sensitive to platform timing as well as total vehicle production.
Turbochargers remain one of the company's best-known products, and that category still anchors a meaningful part of its propulsion business. The broader mix matters because BorgWarner's second-quarter revenue of $3.65 billion showed only modest year-over-year growth, even as profit per share improved sharply.
Stock level to watch
On August 26, 2026, BorgWarner shares were trading at $65.07, close to the $66.01 50-day average and below the 52-week high of $78.82. The stock had also moved well above its 52-week low of $40.50, leaving the latest insider sale and the August 5 earnings beat as the main hard numbers in view.
