The company reported new business bookings of $5.4 billion, with Advanced Safety and User Experience (ASUX) segment awards of $1.8 billion, Engineered Components Group (ECG) awards of $2.4 billion, and Electrical Distribution Systems (EDS) awards of $1.2 billion. Aptiv's ASUX revenues were down 3% in Q2 due to the roll-off of legacy UX programs and unfavorable mix in China. However, the company expects growth in active safety, with an outlook of roughly 6% growth this year, and mid-single-digit growth in 2026.

Adjusted earnings per share is estimated to be $7.30-$7.60, up 19% at the midpoint. For Q3 2025, Aptiv expects revenue growth of 3% on an adjusted basis, with operating income margin of 11.6% and adjusted EPS of $1.60-$1.80. The company remains cautious about market weakness in the second half of the year and has reflected this in its guidance.
