BorgWarner Inc. (US0991991063) stock traded at $67.13 in intraday action on August 21, 2026, as the shares eased 1.21% compared with the prior close according to a real-time quote snapshot. The quote also shows an intraday change of -$0.82 at 11:03:50 a.m. ET, keeping the stock in the upper half of its recent trading range.
Insider sale and current valuation picture
An important recent event for BorgWarner is an insider transaction disclosed on August 20, 2026, when Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer Amy Kulikowski sold 2,900 shares of company stock. The transaction was executed at a price of $68.60 per share on August 18, 2026, for a total value of $198,940, signaling that at least one senior executive chose to realize gains after the stock's strong advance.
The same insider-sale overview highlights that BorgWarner shares were trading at $68.60 at the time of the sale and compares that level with an assessed GF Value of $39.31. On that basis the stock carried a price-to-GF-Value ratio of 1.75 on August 18, 2026, suggesting that the market price sat 75% above that particular intrinsic-value estimate.
Share performance, consensus and YTD context
Market data from a consensus and valuation overview show how the stock's recent performance fits into the bigger picture. A summary as of the August 20, 2026, close lists a last trade of $64.80 on CBOE, down 2.10% on the day, but still up 46.95% since the start of 2026, underlining a powerful year-to-date rally.
In addition, a sector consensus snapshot based on Tradegate trading in Europe gives another perspective on performance. That overview shows the Tradegate price at EUR 55.52 as of 4:02:54 p.m. EDT on August 20, 2026, representing a five-day decline of 2.12% but a gain of 42.67% compared with the level at the start of 2026. For investors, the comparison between the roughly 47% year-to-date increase in the US listing and the more than 42% gain on the German venue highlights how the stock has advanced strongly across markets despite short-term pullbacks.
Analyst sentiment remains constructive according to a consensus-rating compilation, which shows a view that can be summarized as a moderate buy and a blended 12-month price target above the current quote. One overview cites a consensus target of $75.93 for BorgWarner shares, implying upside of roughly $8.80 relative to the $67.13 intraday price on August 21, 2026, if that target were reached.
Institutional interest and dividend context
Recent filings also point to active institutional positioning in the stock. For example, a fund-activity summary notes that an investment firm recently opened a new position in BorgWarner, using a reference opening price of $64.66 for the shares on the relevant trading day. The same report reiterates that BorgWarner stock opened at $64.66 on a recent Friday session in August 2026, illustrating how the price has moved higher toward the current high-$60s level over the following days.
The institutional summary also recalls a prior dividend framework for BorgWarner, with stockholders of record on a past September 1 date entitled to a quarterly dividend payment of $0.17 per share, equating to an annualized payout of $0.68 and a yield of 1.1% at the time based on the then-prevailing share price. Those historical dividend figures provide context for investors evaluating BorgWarner's income component, even though current payout policies should always be checked against the latest company declarations.
Earnings power and analyst expectations
Beyond the immediate trading action, recent data compilations offer a sense of BorgWarner's earnings power and expected growth. A quantitative stock-profile service that aggregates recent financials and estimates reports that over the trailing twelve months, BorgWarner delivered non-GAAP earnings per share of 4.57. That figure represents an 8.55% increase in EPS compared with the preceding twelve-month period, highlighting that profitability has been trending higher.
The same profile points to consensus expectations that non-GAAP EPS could grow 10.24% in the next year, with revenue projected to expand by 0.81% over the same horizon. These forecasted growth rates underline that analysts see scope for further earnings improvement, even if top-line expansion is expected to be modest.
For investors, the combination of a stock price nearly 47% higher year-to-date as of August 20, 2026, and a trailing EPS increase of 8.55% suggests that multiple expansion has contributed to the share-price performance. If the projected 10.24% EPS growth materializes, it could help justify the current valuation, particularly against the backdrop of ongoing electrification and powertrain trends in the auto industry.
Electrification technologies at the core of the business
BorgWarner's strategic positioning is closely linked to the global shift toward cleaner and more efficient vehicles. The company focuses on powertrain solutions for combustion, hybrid and battery-electric vehicles, ranging from turbochargers and exhaust-gas management hardware to electric motors, inverters and battery-pack components used by global automakers.
Within its portfolio, a representative product area is its integrated electric drive modules, which can combine an electric motor, power electronics and gearbox into a compact unit for battery-electric vehicles. These systems are designed to deliver high torque density and energy efficiency while helping automakers reduce packaging complexity and weight, factors that contribute directly to driving range and vehicle performance.
BorgWarner stock price snapshot
