Price and EPS Surprise BorgWarner Inc. price-eps-surprise | BorgWarner Inc. QuoteQ2 HighlightsIn the second quarter of 2025, BWA’s adjusted EPS of $1.21 beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.06 and increased from $1.19 reported in the year-ago quarter. The company reported net sales of $3.64 billion, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.55 billion. The top line also rose 1% year over year.Things to NoteBorgWarner’s sales continue to gain traction in the second quarter of 2025 as a result of a 31% year-over-year increase in light vehicle eProduct sales. The automotive equipment supplier expects continued growth across combustion business extensions and eProduct growth in Europe and Asia. Continued sales growth is likely to have boosted the company’s top line in the third quarter.In the second quarter, the company’s emphasis on productivity, restructuring, supply chain efficiencies and cost management enabled it to offset much of the tariff impact on its combustion business. For full-year 2025, it raised its adjusted operating margin outlook to a range of 10.1-10.3%, up from the previous estimated range of 9.6-10.2%. This updated guidance factors in a 10-basis-point dilution from tariffs. An upward revision in the margin forecast is likely to have bolstered the company’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter.Earnings WhispersOur proven model predicts an earnings beat for BorgWarner for the quarter to be reported, as it has the right combination of the two key ingredients.
