Aptiv (APTV) is likely to maintain its 2026 guidance and emphasize a stronger H2 in its Q1 results, despite signs of near-term pressure, UBS Securities said Wednesday in a report.

Q1 results, due May 5, will be on a consolidated basis, including its recently spun-off Versigent (VGNT) electrical distribution systems business, before shifting to standalone reporting in Q2, UBS said. Production in Q1 is tracking weaker than expected, and copper prices are running above full-year guidance, the report said.

Aptiv's software business should remain insulated from AI-related disruption because of its critical role in vehicle systems, the report said.

UBS lowered its price target on Aptiv stock to $80 from $97 to reflect the Versigent spinoff and maintained its buy rating.

Aptiv shares fell 2.5% in Thursday trading, and Versigent rose 4.5%.
