Aptiv PLC presented its Q2 financial performance and strategic outlook at the J.P. Morgan Auto Conference in August 2025, highlighting strong production and operational efficiency, a strong balance sheet with $1.4 billion in cash, and plans for a stock repurchase later in the year due to stock undervaluation. The company anticipates a moderate slowdown in vehicle production in Q4 2025 due to tariff impacts, particularly in North America, while maintaining strong EV adoption in China and Europe. Aptiv is expanding into industrial markets, regionalizing its supply chain, and exploring digital twin technology for supply chain visibility and alternative sourcing. The company also plans smart M&A activities and emphasizes operational autonomy post-spin to avoid dis-synergies. Aptiv's EDS business, a leader in wire harnesses with a 2x margin advantage, is positioned to operate independently as a standalone entity. The company is focused on top Chinese OEMs such as BYD, Geely, Chang’an, Chery, and Great Wall, with a target of 22% non-automotive revenue post-spin. Adient, a related entity, reduced its monthly tariff impact from $12 million to $4 million through strategic partnerships and is focusing on growth with Chinese domestic automakers using a modular approach.
