General analysis — not personal advice.
NEUTRAL
6/10
Confidence
Existing position can be maintained pending the Q2 report to assess the new profitability profile.
Completed spin-off and solid Q2 profitability are offset by lowered guidance and heightened uncertainty around auto volumes, supporting a continued wait-and-see stance.
Market sentiment
3/10
↓
Trend: Declining
Sentiment is predominantly negative as the market focused on the lowered guidance and weakness in the auto business in China and Europe rather than the earnings beat.
Price context
The stock trades near 52-week lows after a sharp post-report decline. The depressed price level limits further downside if non-auto growth accelerates, but requires stabilization in core auto markets to reverse the negative trend.
Risk assessment
6/10
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

J.P. Morgan Auto Conference
Medium
Horizon:
Bull case
Non-auto revenues grew 12 % and the company secured its first drone order with lifetime revenues exceeding 500 million USD.
Bear case
Weakness in the Chinese market and reduced production schedules from European customers led to a 1 % decline in automotive revenues.
Sensitivity analysis
| Factor | If it weakens | If it strengthens |
|---|---|---|
| Post-spin-off margin development | Weaker margins in Q2 → lower confidence in the new business model and continued valuation pressure. | Stronger margins in Q2 → increased confidence in profitability improvement and potential for re-rating. |
| EV and ADAS order intake | Lower order book growth → slower revenue development in priority segments. | Stronger order intake → higher revenue visibility and support for long-term growth. |
