32

out of 100

Aptiv Plc earns a fundamental-quality score of 32 out of 100, profiling it as a company with demanding fundamentals. Its score rests mainly on its financial strength (net debt 2.08× EBITDA).

What the company does

Aptiv is the modern car's nervous system: wiring, connectors, sensors and the software binding it all, sold to nearly every automaker on earth. Born from old Delphi, it bet its future on the electric, software-defined vehicle... which is arriving slower than promised.

What will shape its future

  • Global car production, the volume every supplier depends on.
  • Content per vehicle: the more electronics a car carries, the more Aptiv sells.
  • The real pace of the electric and software car, its structural bet under review.
