Shares of Adient PLC (NYSE: ADNT), a leading automotive seating company, surged over 6% in the pre-market trading session on Tuesday after the company reported impressive first-quarter fiscal 2025 results that exceeded analysts' expectations.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2024, Adient reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.27, beating the consensus estimate of $0.20 by a significant margin. The company's revenue for the quarter came in at $3.495 billion, surpassing analysts' expectations of $3.422 billion.
Adient's strong performance in the first quarter was driven by robust demand for its automotive seating products, coupled with effective cost management strategies.
