The latest update is out from Autoliv ( (ALV) ).

On May 8, 2026 Autoliv’s management approved the closure of its steering wheel, airbag and seatbelt manufacturing plants in Türkiye, after determining that EMEA production capacity exceeds future demand. The move will cut about 2,200 jobs and is expected to generate a final pre-tax charge of roughly $142 million in 2026, largely tied to severance and retention, while delivering an estimated $40 million in annual pre-tax savings from 2028.

The measures underscore Autoliv’s continued capacity alignment and cost-efficiency drive as it adapts to changing regional demand, with implications for its Turkish workforce and supply footprint in EMEA. Separately, at its May 7, 2026 annual meeting, shareholders re-elected the full board slate, approved executive pay on an advisory basis, ratified the auditor, and the board declared a second-quarter 2026 dividend of $0.87 per share payable in early June to holders of record on May 20.

The most recent analyst rating on (ALV) stock is a Hold with a $125.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Autoliv stock, see the ALV Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on ALV Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, ALV is a Neutral.

The score is driven primarily by improved profitability and still-solid cash generation, supported by an attractive valuation (low P/E). Offsetting this are balance-sheet and near-term cash-flow/margin pressures highlighted on the earnings call, plus mixed technical trend signals with the stock below key longer-term moving averages.
