What Visteon does

Makes digital cockpit electronics - instrument clusters, displays and infotainment systems - for automakers.

Wins a vehicle program years before launch, then supplies that model through its production life, so revenue follows the carmaker's volumes and how much of the car's electronics it provides. Ford, its former parent until 2000, is still one of its larger customers. Since its 2010 bankruptcy exit it has sold other units to focus on cockpit electronics.

How has Visteon stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned -33.8% against -19.0% for the median peer; over one year -28.9%.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
