Visteon plunges as weak 2026 outlook overshadows Q4 earnings beat
Visteon (NYSE:VC), the Van Buren Township, Michigan-based automotive electronics supplier, saw its shares tumble 7.4% on Thursday morning.
Despite reporting fourth-quarter results that topped analyst estimates on both the top and bottom lines, investors were spooked by a conservative 2026 forecast that signaled cooling growth in the year ahead.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, Visteon reported net income of $74 million, or $2.67 per share.
On an adjusted basis, the company earned $2.96 per share, comfortably beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.08.
Revenue for the period reached $948 million, surpassing the $916.9 million expected by Wall Street, driven by a 20% year-over-year surge in advanced display sales.
However, the stock's double-digit morning slide was triggered by a disappointing 2026 roadmap.
Visteon projected full-year revenue between $3.63 billion and $3.83 billion, with the midpoint coming in well below the $3.87 billion analyst consensus.
Additionally, its 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance of $455 million to $495 million represents a year-over-year decline from the record $492 million achieved in 2025.
