BWA--
BorgWarner's Q2 results were marked by a significant improvement in operating margins, rising to 10.3% despite tariff headwinds, and a 71% increase in free cash flow to $507 million [1]. The company also expanded its share repurchase program and increased its quarterly dividend by 55% [1]. These moves reflect strong shareholder returns and a commitment to capital allocation.
Analysts have responded positively to BorgWarner's performance. Spark, TipRanks' AI Analyst, rates BWA as Neutral, citing strong financial performance and positive earnings call highlights, particularly in eProduct growth and shareholder returns [1]. However, technical indicators suggest the stock is overbought, and the high P/E ratio indicates potential overvaluation [1]. Despite these challenges, analysts have raised the company's price targets due to strong eProduct sales and improved margins [1].
Institutional investors have also shown interest in BorgWarner. Nuveen LLC acquired 501,828 shares of BorgWarner, valued at approximately $14.4 million, during the first quarter, giving it a 0.23% stake in the company [2]. Other hedge funds, such as the New York State Teachers Retirement System and Avantax Advisory Services Inc., have also increased their positions in BorgWarner [2].
BorgWarner's stock has seen a 35.92% YTD price performance, with an average trading volume of 2,399,220 shares [1]. The company's market cap stands at $9.29 billion, with a PE ratio of 45.85 and a beta of 1.10 [1]. Despite recent insider sales, BorgWarner's stock remains technically bullish, with a 52-week high of $43.16 and a 52-week low of $24.40 [1].
