About BorgWarner
BorgWarner makes the parts hidden inside cars and trucks. Turbochargers, transmission components, electric motors, and inverters that go into gas engines, hybrids, and electric vehicles. Almost every major automaker on the planet buys from them.
The case for and against
Both sides of the story, in plain English.
- Profit Power
Sales were basically flat at 3.6 billion dollars, but profits jumped hard. Earnings hit 1 dollar 34 cents per share, up 30 percent from a year ago, and operating margin climbed to 10.1 percent. That is a company getting better at making money even when it is not selling more.
- Cash Confidence
BorgWarner generated 492 million dollars in free cash in a single quarter and just raised its buyback authorization by 1 billion dollars, bringing the total to about 1.35 billion. They also raised full year earnings guidance to a range of 5 dollars 5 cents to 5 dollars 30 cents per share.
- Sales Stall
Strip out currency effects and sales actually fell 1.2 percent. The battery energy business shrank by about 60 million dollars this quarter and is expected to be down 250 million dollars for the full year, a real drag on growth.
- Cyclical Crunch
BorgWarner rises and falls with how many cars factories build, and management expects vehicle markets to be down 3 percent to roughly flat this year. Net margins sit at just 2.53 percent, so any production slowdown hits the bottom line quickly.
