General

What's Going On With Autoliv Stock On Tuesday?

Quarterly Dividend
Autoliv's quarterly dividend is increased by 3% to 70 cents per share, from 68 cents, for the fourth quarter of 2024. Assuming today's number of shares outstanding, this equals an annualized total dividend of approximately $220 million.
To holders of record on the close of business on Tuesday, December 3, the dividend will be payable on: Thursday, December 19, 2024 to holders of Autoliv common stock listed on the New York Stock Exchange (Common Stock); and Friday, December 20, 2024 to holders of Autoliv Swedish Depository Receipts listed on Nasdaq Stockholm (SDRs). The ex-date is: Tuesday, December 3, for holders of Common Stock; and Monday, December 2, for holders of SDRs.
Share Repurchase Program Extension
Since 2021, Autoliv has returned over $1.6 billion to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases in a challenging market environment. Approximately $950 million of this value has been for the repurchase of 9.5 million shares, representing 11% of our outstanding shares at the time the program began, as part of our current 3-year share repurchase program set to expire at year-end.
With only the current quarter remaining under the current share repurchase program, the Autoliv Board of Directors has now approved an extension of the program until the end of 2025 with no other changes to the authorization. Under the extended repurchase program, up to 7.5 million shares or up to $550 million, whichever comes first, remain authorized for potential repurchase from today through 2025. Autoliv management can initiate repurchases opportunistically at its discretion, subject to applicable legal requirements.
Retirement of Treasury Shares
The Autoliv Board of Directors also approved the retirement this quarter of 2,000,000 shares of common stock that have been held in treasury. The retirement of these shares in December, together with the retirement of shares repurchased in the quarter, will result in the decrease in the issued shares of common stock.

Autoliv Posts Strong Sales, Joins United States Cellular, Netflix, Intuitive Surgical And Other Big Stocks Moving Higher On Friday

Autoliv, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALV#NYSE">ALV</a>) shares are <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/n41398774/autoliv-financial-report-july-september-2024" rel="noreferrer noopener">trading higher on Friday.</a>
The company reported third-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $1.84, missing the analyst consensus of $1.95. Quarterly revenues of $2.56 billion topped the street view of $2.53 billion.
In the third quarter, sales fell by 0.8% organically. The firm performed well in Europe and Asia (excluding China) due to numerous product launches and favorable pricing.
Sales to domestic Chinese OEMs increased by 18%, outpacing their LVP growth of 8.5%. 
However, the firm struggled in China because of a negative mix, with sales of lower-safety models rising while higher-end models declined.
The company&#8217;s adjusted operating margin decreased to 9.3% from 9.4%.

&#8220;Light vehicle production was weak in the third quarter, declining by close to 5% globally. This was driven by a combination of inventory reductions, especially in the Americas and a high comparison base, especially in&nbsp;China,&#8221; said Mikael Bratt, President &amp; CEO.
The CEO indicated that, given recent sales trends and order intake, the company anticipates gaining more market share with domestic Chinese OEMs in the coming years.
Bratt also noted that negotiations for excess inflation compensation with customers have progressed as expected, although a few are still pending.
Outlook: Autoliv now expects full-year 2024 organic sales growth to be 1%, down from the previously anticipated 2%, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance">due to unfavorable market mix developments.</a>
With the seasonally strong fourth quarter remaining of the year, the company reaffirmed its guidance of around 9.5-10.0% adjusted operating margin for 2024, but to be at the low end of this range.
Price Action: ALV shares are trading higher by 5.69% to $99.24 at last check Friday.

Autoliv Surges Despite Mixed Q3 Results: Chinese Market Mix Drags  Performance

WIIM

Autoliv shares are trading higher after the company reported better-than-expected Q3 sales results.

Wall Street is priming for a positive start on Friday after the major averages ended narrowly mixed in the previous session. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41391637/netflix-q3-earnings-revenue-beats-eps-tops-q4-guidance-projects-subscriber-boost-from-squid-game-nf">Positive reaction</a> to Netflix, Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) earnings could provide a lift to the tech space, given earnings news flow from the sector will likely start in earnest next week. Earnings and speeches by Federal Reserve officials could set the tempo for Friday&#8217;s session. China&#8217;s third-quarter GDP rose slightly more than estimates, allaying the fears of traders. Gold continues to make record after record, while oil continues to have a volatile ride amid geopolitical tensions.

Insights From Analysts:
After separate reports showed strong September retail sales growth, jobless claims, which fell after Hurricane Helene&#8217;s impact wore off, and a decline in industrial production amid the Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) strike, Comerica Chief Economist Bill Adams said, &#8220;The economy is in pretty good shape.&#8221; &#8220;Since consumer spending fuels two-thirds of U.S. demand, the economy can't be doing too bad as long as consumers still have their pocketbooks open,&#8221; he said.
The economist expects the Hurricanes that devastated swathes of the Southeast in late September and early October to be a big drag on releases for October.&nbsp;This will make it difficult to read the underlying trend accurately, he said.
Calling the headwinds temporary, Adams said, &#8220;With the Fed expected to continue lowering interest rates through the turn of the year, credit-sensitive sectors of the economy should perk up in coming quarters, sustaining the economic expansion into 2025.&#8221;
