Our note on each quarter Autoliv files

Where Autoliv stands after its latest 10-Q

Revenue for the twelve months to September 2026 was $11.1bn, up 4.3% on a year earlier, slower than the 5.9% growth a quarter earlier. Free-cash-flow margin rose to 6.6% from 5.4% a year earlier. The diluted share count is down 3.9% on a year earlier, which lifts each remaining share. Against its peers on growth, profitability, cash generation and balance sheet, it grades C+. It passes 3 of our 6 financial-health checks. Our cash-flow model value is $147 a share, against a share price of $118. At that price, our model says the market is pricing in about 0.2% a year of cash-flow growth for five years, slower than the 6.1% a year revenue growth it has delivered.

The Fundamentalytics view

Next results ~January 29, 2027 (estimated)

Autoliv Inc's trailing-twelve-month revenue grew 4.3% year on year, with a free-cash-flow margin of 6.6%. Where it stands out: operating margin of 9.1% ranks 5 of 22 automotive parts & equipment companies we cover. Where it lags: days sales outstanding of 75 days ranks 15 of 17 automotive parts & equipment companies we cover.

Our discounted-cash-flow model values the business at ~$150 per share in the base case (~$100–$200 across growth scenarios) — model values under stated assumptions, not a price target.

Current signal Free cash flow diverging from earnings: TTM free cash flow grew 27.7% while net income fell 17.3%: a 45pp divergence.

Assembled from SEC-filed figures — the full workings are on this page and in our methodology. Observations, not recommendations.

Strengths

  • Shrinking share count. Diluted shares fell 3.9% in a year, so each share owns more of the business.

Things to watch

  • Below peers: days sales outstanding. Days sales outstanding of 75 days ranks 15 of 17 automotive parts & equipment companies we cover (median 61 days).
  • Missing expectations. Earnings per share fell short of the consensus estimate in 2 of the last four quarters.

What the price is pricing in

The share price implies about 0.6% a year of cash-flow growth for five years.That is slower than the 6.1% a year revenue growth Autoliv has delivered.

Our cash-flow model with every input fixed except growth over the next five years, solved for the growth at which the model value equals the share price ($120.93, Nov 3, 2026). Cash-flow growth then fades to 2.5% a year; discount rate 8.5%. Delivered figures are revenue growth from SEC filings.

How we got here: a discounted-cash-flow model of Autoliv Inc's free cash flow after stock-based pay with after-tax interest added back ($700M, FY2026 Q3 TTM), growing 2.4% and 3.2% in the next two years (forecasts, guidance and its record), then back to 3.7% by year five, and fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%. Lower and higher growth cases span ~$100–~$200 ; that spread sets a 25% margin before we rate Buy or Sell.

Produced by Fundamentalytics' automated valuation model on November 3, 2026, using delayed market prices. Rating meanings, methodology and conflicts: recommendations disclosure and research disclaimer. General research, not personal advice — it does not consider your circumstances. Prices can fall as well as rise.

Our value per share comes from a discounted-cash-flow model of Autoliv Inc's free cash flow after stock-based pay ( $700M, FY2026 Q3 TTM, with after-tax interest added back): growth for five years as below (the first two years from forecasts, guidance and the company's record), fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%, then cash added and debt and other claims subtracted. These are model values under stated assumptions, not price targets or recommendations.

Valuation models

We value Autoliv Inc as an operating company, with every model that fits that kind of business. Cost of equity 9.3%: the 10-year Treasury yield (4.9%) plus a beta of 0.97 times a 4.5% equity risk premium.

Options strategies

All options ideas

How Autoliv Inc’s listed options are priced, and three ways to use them that follow from our valuation. Quotes are delayed, read November 2, 2026. Check the live chain at your broker before trading.

Cash-secured put

Not offered: fundamentals grade C+ (needs B+ or better).

We suggest selling a put only on well-rated companies, at a strike where the price you would pay if assigned (strike less premium) is at or below our fair value.

Covered call

Not offered: no liquid call at or above our price target — the model says the upside is worth more than any listed strike.

For holders: sell a call at a strike at or above our fair value, so the shares are only sold at a price the model calls full value.

Collar

Not offered: the shares trade below our fair value: a collar caps upside the model expects.

For holders of a stock trading at or above our fair value: buy a put for a floor and sell a call to pay for it.

General research, not personal advice. Options can lose you more than you expect and are not suitable for everyone: put sellers can be made to buy shares that keep falling, call sellers give up gains above the strike, and results or news can move prices sharply. Chances shown are approximations from each option’s delta. Spreads, fees and early assignment are not modelled.
