About BorgWarner
BorgWarner makes the guts of cars and trucks. Think turbochargers, electric motors, and battery parts that go into gas engines, hybrids, and electric vehicles. They sell to almost every major automaker on the planet.
The case for and against
Both sides of the story, in plain English.
- Profit Power
Even with car production slowing globally, BorgWarner just grew adjusted earnings 12 percent to 1 dollar 24 cents per share. Their adjusted operating margin ticked up to 10.5 percent, proving they can squeeze more profit out of every dollar of sales.
- Backlog Boom
The company just locked in 12 new business wins this quarter alone, including seven year contracts and electric motor deals across China, South Korea, and Europe. They are also pushing into AI data center power systems, with a turbine generator launch on track for 2027.
- Sales Slip
Organic sales actually dropped 4.2 percent year over year as global car production weakened. Battery energy systems alone is expected to shed 210 million dollars in sales this year, dragging on overall growth.
- Cyclical Crunch
BorgWarner lives and dies with car factory output, and management expects light vehicle markets to be down 3 percent to flat in 2026. Net margins sit at just 2.53 percent, so any slowdown in production hits the bottom line fast.
