Lear Corporation's stock surged 7.14% during intraday trading on Wednesday, following the release of its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 financial results. The automotive supplier reported significant beats on key financial metrics, driving strong investor sentiment.
The company posted Q4 adjusted earnings per share of $3.41, surpassing analyst estimates of approximately $2.80 and marking a 16% increase year-over-year. Quarterly sales reached $5.99 billion, also exceeding expectations. This performance was attributed to new business growth in both its Seating and E-Systems segments, including securing a major seat assembly program from an American automaker and $1.4 billion in E-Systems business awards.
Additionally, Lear provided an optimistic outlook for 2026, projecting net sales in the range of $23.21 billion to $24.01 billion. The combination of stronger-than-expected quarterly results and positive forward guidance fueled the notable stock price appreciation during the trading session.
