Description: LEA Lear November 07, 2025
Lear Corporation (NYSE:LEA) is a global supplier of automotive seating and electrical-distribution systems. Its Seating segment delivers complete seat assemblies, subsystems, trim, foams and related materials for a full range of vehicles, while the E-Systems segment provides wire harnesses, connectors, junction boxes, control modules and software that manage power and data flow in conventional, hybrid and electric powertrains.
Key data points that shape Lear’s outlook: • 2023 revenue reached approximately $10.3 billion, with the Seating business contributing roughly 55 % and E-Systems 45 %. • Operating margin hovered near 5.5 % in 2023, pressured by higher raw-material costs and the need to re-tool for electric-vehicle (EV) architectures. • The global automotive seating market is projected to grow at a 4 % CAGR through 2028, while demand for high-voltage wiring and smart junction boxes is expected to accelerate 8-10 % annually as OEMs shift to EVs and advanced driver-assist systems (ADAS). These macro trends, combined with Lear’s extensive OEM relationships across North America, Europe and Asia, constitute the primary growth drivers and risk factors for the stock.
