Autoliv Inc. (NYSE:ALV) stock fell in Friday premarket trading after the automotive safety supplier reported second-quarter 2026 results that topped earnings and revenue expectations but were weighed down by weaker GAAP profit and restructuring costs.
Adjusted earnings came in at $2.43 per diluted share, narrowly beating the analyst consensus estimate of $2.42. Net sales increased 3.3% year over year to $2.80 billion, ahead of the $2.77 billion consensus estimate, according to Benzinga Pro.
Adjusted Results Improve Despite GAAP Pressure
Organic sales rose 1%, outperforming the 0.3% decline in global light-vehicle production by 1.3 percentage points.
GAAP diluted earnings per share fell 38% to $1.35, while net income declined 40% to $101 million, largely due to restructuring costs tied to the company’s planned exit from manufacturing in Türkiye.
