The news check keeps the assessment current.

General analysis — not personal advice.

NEUTRAL Partly clear

Existing position can be maintained pending the Q2 report to assess the new profitability profile.

Lowered full-year guidance and weakness in China/Europe continue to outweigh insider buying and the completed spin-off, supporting the cautious review signal.

Market sentiment Negative ↓
Trend: Declining

Sentiment is predominantly negative as the market focused on the lowered guidance and weakness in automotive operations in China and Europe rather than the earnings beat.

Risk assessment Medium
Dilution: Low Share buybacks ongoing and cash position strong
Jurisdiction: Low Core operations in Western markets with global exposure
Execution: Medium Spin-off completed but margin targets remain to be proven

NEUTRAL is the call. Negative is the market mood. Medium risk means some things can go wrong.

Latest change
  • 5 Aug 2026 — The report showed revenue of 3.3 billion USD and adjusted EPS of 1.63 USD beating expectations, but full-year guidance was lowered by 300 million USD following weakness in China and Europe.
