Aptiv Gears Up to Report Q1 Earnings: Here's What to Expect
Read MoreHide Full Article
Aptiv PLC (APTV - Free Report) is slated to release first-quarter 2025 results on May 1, before market open. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the to-be-reported quarter’s earnings per share (EPS) and revenues is pegged at $1.55 and $4.78 billion, respectively.
For the first quarter, the consensus estimate for Aptiv’s earnings has moved up by 2 cents in the past seven days. Its bottom-line estimates imply 33.62% growth from the year-ago reported numbers.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for APTV's quarterly revenues implies a year-over-year decline of 2.40%. The company's earnings beat estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, delivering an average surprise of 9.88%. This is depicted in the graph below:
In the fourth quarter of 2024, APTV’s adjusted EPS of $1.75 beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.66 and increased from $1.40 reported in the year-ago quarter. The company reported net sales of $4.91 billion, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4.88 billion. The top line remained flat year over year.
Things to Note
Aptiv projects full-year 2025 revenues in the range of $19.6-$20.4 billion, indicating a 2% year-over-year increase at the midpoint, driven by mid-single-digit growth in the AS&UX business and low-single-digit growth in the ECG business. The company’s 2025 optimistic sales outlook is likely to have boosted its top-line growth in the first quarter.
Aptiv’s advanced safety and user experience segment is benefiting from lower costs by shifting AI workloads to the edge. This success is apparent through the award wins in the fourth quarter of 2024, which include recognition for a central computer system across GLE brands, an integrated cockpit controller from a major truck manufacturer, Gen 6 radar solutions with top Japanese OEMs and a core-to-edge cloud infrastructure project with Boost Mobile.
Cost-reduction efforts are likely to have improved the company’s margin in the to-be-reported quarter. For 2025, the company expects adjusted EBITDA margin in the range of 15.8-16.1% compared with 15.7% reported in 2024.
