▼(-0.16% Downside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:05/16/26
The score is held back primarily by weak and volatile financial performance, elevated leverage, and bearish technical signals. Offsetting these are a very low P/E valuation and a more constructive earnings-call outlook emphasizing margin expansion, cost savings execution, and shareholder returns, though near-term cash/working-capital headwinds remain.
Positive Factors
Broad product portfolio & electrification
Dana's diversified engineering portfolio spans core driveline, thermal and sealing products plus electrified propulsion (e-axles). That breadth supports durable OEM and aftermarket demand across vehicle segments, reduces single-market reliance and positions the company for structural EV adoption over coming years.
Negative Factors
Elevated leverage
Leverage at recent peaks materially constrains financial flexibility: higher interest exposure, refinancing risk and limited cushion for cyclical downturns. Elevated debt reduces ability to fund capex, absorb working-capital swings or sustain buybacks without prioritizing deleveraging over growth investments.

Dana Incorporated Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Apr 29, 2026
(Q1-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Jul 24, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call contained multiple strong operational and financial positives: clear margin expansion (400 bps YoY in Q1), large adjusted EBITDA improvement, meaningful cost savings execution, sizable share repurchases, an important $250M/year new program (RAM Dakota) and improved secured backlog and 2030 visibility. Offsetting items were near-term cash flow pressure driven by working capital and one-time lease buyouts, ongoing commodity and regional volume headwinds (notably in EV battery cooling, medium‑duty trucks and Brazil), and timing volatility from tariffs and indexed recoveries. On balance, the company demonstrated durable margin and profitability momentum and upgraded visibility on growth while acknowledging short-term cash/working capital headwinds and some market softness.Positive Updates
Revenue Growth
First quarter sales of $1.868 billion versus $1.781 billion a year ago, an increase of approximately 4.9% year-over-year despite softer end-market demand.

Company Guidance
Management kept 2026 guidance unchanged but said results should land toward the upper end of the ranges: revenue about $7.5 billion at the midpoint, adjusted EBITDA roughly $800 million (≈10–11% margin, ~10.6% midpoint, ~250 bps improvement versus 2025’s $610M/8.1%), diluted adjusted EPS ≈ $2.50 (using 109 million shares, excluding future buybacks), and adjusted free cash flow of about $300 million. They expect net interest ≈ $70 million, taxes ≈ $100 million, capex ≈ $325 million, working capital to be a $25 million source, and one‑time costs ~ $30–40 million lower year‑over‑year; drivers called out include ~ $20 million EBITDA from volume/mix, ~ $100 million from performance (including ~$40 million stranded cost eliminations), ~$65 million from cost savings, a $10 million tariff tailwind and a $15 million commodity headwind, and sales drivers of −$95 million volume/mix, −$30 million performance, +$50 million tariffs, +$60 million currency and +$15 million commodities. They reiterated buyback and capital deployment plans (Q1 repurchases $125M/4.4M shares; $300M target for 2026; $775M to date; $2B through 2030), cost‑save pacing ($35M in Q1; $65M target for 2026; $325M program total), and Dana 2030 goals of ~$10B revenue, 14–15% adjusted EBITDA margin and ~6% free cash flow margin (FCF rising from ~$300M today to ~$600M by 2030).Dana Incorporated Financial Statement Overview
