HSBC downgraded Autoliv’s stock from Buy to Hold, lowering the price target to $100 due to below-expectation 2025 guidance and revenue challenges in China. Mizuho (NYSE:MFG) Securities also adjusted its price target to $112, maintaining an Outperform rating, following mixed fourth-quarter results. JPMorgan reduced its price target to $109, citing a mix of higher-than-expected margins and lower-than-expected sales.
For 2025, Autoliv projects flat year-over-year revenue with a 2% organic growth offset by a 2% foreign exchange headwind. The company anticipates an operating margin of 10-10.5% for the year, with an expected operating cash flow of around $1.2 billion. Despite challenges, Autoliv expects revenue improvements in China, supported by its exposure to domestic Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs).
