Visteon Corporation (NASDAQ:VC) posted fourth-quarter results that topped Wall Street forecasts, but shares declined nearly 4% in premarket trading after the company issued softer-than-expected revenue guidance for 2026.
The automotive technology supplier reported adjusted earnings per share of $2.96 for the quarter, well above the consensus estimate of $2.08. Revenue rose to $948 million, beating expectations of $916.91 million. Visteon outperformed global customer vehicle production by 7%, supported by strong growth in display systems and the rollout of new programs.
“2025 was another year of disciplined execution and strategic progress for Visteon,” said President and CEO Sachin Lawande. “Looking ahead, 2026 is about positioning the company for the next phase of growth — scaling our next-generation cockpit platforms, deepening engagement with growth-oriented customers, and expanding into adjacent markets.”
For full-year 2025, Visteon delivered record adjusted EBITDA of $492 million, translating into a 13.1% margin. Operating cash flow totaled $410 million, while adjusted free cash flow reached $292 million, reflecting solid operational execution and disciplined capital allocation.
The company also secured $7.4 billion in new business awards across its digital cockpit portfolio during the year and launched 86 new products with 19 OEM customers. Visteon announced a 36% increase in its quarterly dividend to $0.375 per share.
Looking ahead, the company forecasts 2026 adjusted EBITDA in a range of $455 million to $495 million and adjusted free cash flow between $170 million and $210 million. The outlook, however, fell short of investor expectations, overshadowing the strong fourth-quarter performance as Visteon continues investing in digital cockpit technologies and integrated EV architecture solutions.
