# Aptiv PLC (APTV) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Consumer Cyclical / Auto Components. Price $47.95, market value $10.0 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 21.7×** (5-yr avg 50.3×, 3-yr avg 39.6×). Aptiv PLC trades at 21.7× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 50.3×: cheap by its own standards. The Consumer Cyclical median in the September 2026 study was 19.5×. Forward P/E is 7.4×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **Price / sales: 0.5×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.5×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 1.1×**. The shares trade at 1.1× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 8.3×**. Enterprise value is 8.3× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 6.9%** (5-yr avg 5.3%). Free cash flow equals 6.9% of the market value, above its five-year average of 5.3%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 4.6%**. The inverse of the P/E: 4.6% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: 5.3%**. 5.3% of revenue is left after running the business.
- **Net margin: 0.8%**. 0.8% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 1.8%**. 1.8% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 5.3%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 5.3%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: 0.9%**. Each dollar of assets produces 0.9% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 3.5%** (3-yr 5.3%/yr, 5-yr 9.3%/yr). Revenue grew 3.5% over the last year, against 9.3% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -89.2%** (3-yr -27.4%/yr, 5-yr -35.4%/yr). Earnings per share fell 89.2%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): 54.0%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at 54.0% a year over three years, keeping pace with earnings: the growth is real cash.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.82**. Debt is 0.82 times equity, moderate leverage.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 3.0×**. It would take 3.0 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Altman Z-score: 2.02**. A Z-score of 2.02 is in the grey zone; not distressed, not clearly safe.
- **Piotroski F-score: 6/9**. 6 of 9 checks pass: mixed.

## Dividends
- **Dividend: none**. Aptiv PLC does not currently pay a dividend.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): -40.4%** (YTD -37.0%, 3-mo -30.1%). The shares are down 40.4% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -46.1%** (7.7% above the low). Trading 46% below its 52-week high, deep in a drawdown.
- **200-day average: below**. The price sits below its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of a downtrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 46**. An RSI of 46 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 1.27** (volatility 43%). Beta of 1.27 against the S&P 500: the shares move roughly with the market.
