Lear Corp (NYSE:LEA) shares are trading higher Thursday after the company reported better-than-expected financial results for the fourth quarter.
Lear generated net cash from operations of $681 million and free cash flow of $489 million in the fourth quarter. The company said it repurchased $101 million of its stock and paid $42 million in dividends in the quarter.
“Lear delivered solid results in 2024 despite continuing macroeconomic and industry headwinds, with both segments outgrowing the market,” said Ray Scott, president and CEO of Lear.
“Strong cash flow generation enabled us to return $574 million of cash through share repurchases and dividends. Margins in E-Systems improved for the second consecutive year, and investments in automation through IDEA by Lear and footprint optimization will improve margins in both segments.”
