Assessment
Our Rating
A journalistic assessment by our editorial team at the time of the deep dive — it rates the company, not the entry point. Not investment advice and not a solicitation to buy or sell.
We found at least one documented issue that threatens the company itself — regardless of how the stock is currently valued.
Why this colour
Whoever buys today is betting that hybrid demand and buybacks drown out the forecast market decline for longer than the market expects — and pays a good twenty times earnings for it instead of the six to eight times of 2024/2025. Whoever waits checks three things in every quarterly report (10-Q): Is revenue growing without currency tailwind? Is the zero-emission business winning series awards? And does leverage stay under control despite the buybacks? The decision is yours.
What the thesis turns on
Assessment: Opportunities & Risks
Garrett Motion is the rare case of a Chapter 11 returnee that gets almost everything right operationally: reliable profits, strong cash flow, a dividend, aggressive buybacks, a record quarter. But after a 248 percent price gain in twelve months, the stock has largely priced that quality in, while two structural burdens remain: a core market its own annual report sees shrinking from 2026, and a balance sheet with a $802 million stockholders' deficit that forgives no bad year. Whoever invests here buys the best player in a finite game — at the price of a growth stock. Not investment advice.
Earnings power & cash flow
Four profitable years in a row ($310 million of net income in 2025), $510 million of Adjusted EBIT, $413 million of operating cash flow, interest expense cut by $48 million to $108 million in 2025; in the first quarter of 2026, revenue up 12 percent and net income up 53 percent (annual report 10-K for 2025, quarterly report 10-Q as of 03/31/2026).
Capital returns & share count
A dividend since January 2025 (now $0.08 per quarter), $208 million of buybacks in 2025, a new $250 million program for 2026; the share count fell a good 9 percent in five quarters to 187.7 million — which is why earnings per share grew faster than earnings (+21 versus +10 percent in 2025).
End market & structural risk
The company's own annual report expects global turbocharger production to decrease from 2026 onward and fall back to 2022 volume levels by 2030; the new businesses (e-powertrain and fuel-cell compressors) are, per the filing, largely in pre-development — the hybrid wave (16 to 26 million vehicles by 2029, per S&P) is the buffer, not the solution (10-K for 2025, Item 1).
Balance sheet & concentration
A stockholders' deficit of $802 million against $1,439 million of gross debt and $177 million of cash (December 31, 2025), an Altman Z around 1.5; on top, Stellantis, BMW and Ford at a combined roughly 34 percent of revenue — with no minimum purchase obligations and contractually falling piece prices (10-K for 2025, Items 1 and 1A).
Valuation & momentum
24 trend hits in the scanner, plus 248 percent in twelve months, a few percent below the all-time high — while the price-to-earnings ratio expanded from 6–8 to about 20.5 (data as of July 10, 2026); insiders sold twenty times and bought zero times recently, and Oaktree handed 7.5 million shares back to the company for $103 million.
Worth Noting
GTX reached our research list via the confluence of 24 trend hits in our in-house stock scanner (data as of July 10, 2026) — one of the broadest momentum signatures of recent months.
Scanner metrics (P/E, P/S, Piotroski, Altman Z) are computed from trailing twelve-month figures; the Altman Z of 1.5 mainly reflects the negative equity from the Chapter 11 legacy and the buybacks, not acute payment problems — interest coverage and cash flow are solid.
Price and valuation figures are dated to July 10, 2026 (about $35, market value roughly $6.5 billion); analyses are evergreen, daily prices are not a buy argument.

What Do These Terms Mean?
- EPS (Earnings Per Share):
- Quarterly profit divided by the total share count — how much of the profit works out to a single share.
- YoY (Year over Year):
- Change versus the same quarter a year ago — this is how you compare without seasonal distortion (e.g. the holiday shopping season).
- Sales:
- All revenue for the quarter, before any costs are deducted — the top line of the income statement.
- Net Margin:
- What percentage of sales is left over as profit in the end. Negative means the company is posting a loss.
- OCF (Operating Cash Flow):
- The cash that actually flows into the till from the core business during the quarter — harder to dress up than book profit.
- FCF (Free Cash Flow):
- Operating cash flow minus capital expenditures — the money that's genuinely free to use, say for paying down debt, buybacks, or dividends.

Estimates by Fiscal Year

| 12/31/2027 | 2.30 | 2.20 – 2.35 | 4,014 | 9.9% | 3 |
Average of the analyst estimates for the coming fiscal years. The range shows how far the most optimistic and the most cautious estimate sit apart — the wider it is, the less certain the expectation.
Valuation
What is priced in?
Instead of guessing what the stock is worth, we turn the question around: what free cash flow growth has to happen for today’s market value to add up? The assumptions behind it can be moved.
Today’s market value implies roughly 2.3% growth in free cash flow per year over ten years (assumptions: discount rate 10.0%, terminal growth 2.5%).
| Free cash flow (last twelve months) | $365.0M |
|---|---|
| Market cap | $4.93B |
| Free cash flow in year ten | $459.8M |
| Terminal value as a share of market value | 49.1% |
It shows which assumption is built into today’s price, not whether that assumption will hold. Every assumption can be changed with the sliders; the figures move with them.
A simplified model calculation — not a forecast and not a recommendation.

AI Rating
Garrett Motion erzielt laut 10-K/10-Q keine Umsätze mit KI-Produkten, dokumentiert aber operativen KI-Einsatz: ein KI-gestütztes Kompetenz-Analysesystem im Personalbereich (seit 2023) sowie die Einführung von KI-Werkzeugen als Teil der Produktivitäts- und Kostensenkungsinitiativen; die Risk Factors nennen KI nur als generellen Verstärker von IP- und Cyberrisiken, nicht als konkretes Risiko für das Turbolader-Geschäftsmodell.

„To support our strategy and objectives, in 2023 we implemented a skills intelligence system. This system, enabled by artificial intelligence, can detect known and hidden capabilities of our employees. We expect this system will support us in identifying efficient paths of upskilling, reskilling and hiring for our future needs."
Zur Unterstützung unserer Strategie und Ziele haben wir 2023 ein Kompetenz-Analysesystem eingeführt. Dieses System, das auf Künstlicher Intelligenz basiert, kann bekannte und verborgene Fähigkeiten unserer Beschäftigten erkennen. Wir erwarten, dass dieses System uns dabei unterstützt, effiziente Wege der Weiterqualifizierung, Umschulung und Einstellung für unseren künftigen Bedarf zu identifizieren.

„In addition, we seek productivity and cost savings benefits through repositioning actions and projects, such as consolidation of manufacturing facilities, transitions to cost-competitive regions, workforce reductions, asset impairments, product line rationalizations, implementation of artificial intelligence tools and other cost-saving initiatives."
Darüber hinaus streben wir Produktivitäts- und Kostenvorteile durch Umbau-Maßnahmen und -Projekte an, etwa die Zusammenlegung von Fertigungsstandorten, Verlagerungen in kostengünstige Regionen, Personalabbau, Wertberichtigungen, die Straffung von Produktlinien, die Einführung von Werkzeugen der Künstlichen Intelligenz und weitere Kostensenkungsinitiativen.

„This risk is heightened with the broad adoption of artificial intelligence tools, which is expected to enhance intellectual property creation by our competition. Accordingly, our intellectual property may not be sufficient on its own to provide us with a competitive advantage, which in turn could weaken our ability to secure business awards from our customers and/or our ability to achieve targeted product profitability."
Dieses Risiko verschärft sich mit der breiten Einführung von KI-Werkzeugen, die die Schaffung geistigen Eigentums durch unsere Wettbewerber voraussichtlich beschleunigen wird. Unser geistiges Eigentum reicht daher möglicherweise allein nicht aus, um uns einen Wettbewerbsvorteil zu verschaffen — was wiederum unsere Fähigkeit schwächen könnte, Aufträge unserer Kunden zu gewinnen und/oder die angestrebte Produktprofitabilität zu erreichen.
