WEAK

30

out of 100

Adient Plc earns a fundamental-quality score of 30 out of 100, profiling it as a company with demanding fundamentals. Its score rests mainly on its financial strength (net debt 2.02× EBITDA). Its weakest area is its growth (revenue +3.1%/yr). Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.

What the company does

Adient is the world's largest car-seat maker, spun off from Johnson Controls: one in three automobiles carries its seats, built in plants glued to its customers'. A volume-and-precision business with every auto supplier's thin margins.

What will shape its future

  • Global vehicle production, the volume it inescapably lives on.
  • Chinese automakers: growing with them is its opportunity and its threat.
  • Penny margins: any customer shutdown hurts it double.
