Strong
Automotive Components & Systems (OEM Suppliers)

Strategic Profile

PHINIA operates across a diverse set of end markets, from commercial trucks and tractors to aerospace, automobiles, ATVs, marine, power generation, and more. Cost efficiency and product mix, rather than rapid top line expansion, are expected to drive earnings growth. The company is positioned as a diversified components supplier navigating the energy transition with both traditional fuel systems and alternative fuel technologies.

Cyborg Score Rationale

PHINIA reported $3.48B in 2025 sales with net earnings of $130M and returned $242M to shareholders. 2026 guidance calls for net sales of $3.52B-$3.72B with higher projected net earnings. Solid execution despite market headwinds, though valuation at 22x P/E is not cheap.
