Analysis Accuracy
Autoliv (ALV) shows mixed financial health with a weak Piotroski F-Score of 4/9, indicating borderline stability, and no available Altman Z-Score to assess distress risk. The stock appears reasonably valued with a P/E of 13.03 below sector average, strong ROE of 31.01%, and solid earnings growth of 31% YoY, but faces concerns around liquidity (Current Ratio: 0.95) and technical weakness (Technical Trend: 10/100). Dividend strength is moderate at 50/100 with a sustainable 2.48% yield, while analyst consensus leans positive with a $138.72 target price. However, insider sentiment is lukewarm and recent price performance shows decelerating momentum despite solid long-term returns.
Key Strengths
Strong year-over-year earnings growth of 31.00% with consistent positive surprises in recent quarters
High return on equity (ROE) of 31.01%, significantly above sector average of 5.29%
Attractive valuation relative to sector, with P/E of 13.03 vs. sector average of 55.14
Sustainable dividend policy with a 30.57% payout ratio and 2.48% yield
Revenue growth of 5.90% YoY in a competitive auto parts environment
Key Risks
Weak Piotroski F-Score of 4/9 suggests suboptimal financial health and limited operational strength
Poor liquidity position with Current Ratio of 0.95 and Quick Ratio of 0.62, below safe thresholds
Technical Trend score of 10/100 indicates strong bearish momentum near term
No Altman Z-Score available, creating uncertainty around bankruptcy risk assessment
High Price/Book ratio of 3.78 may indicate overvaluation relative to book value
