The current picture
What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q2 basis, AAM posted a sharp profit increase versus the same period, suggesting a clear improvement from a low base — this marks a reversal from the difficult phase before. However, most of the profit comes from non-core sources — this needs careful evaluation before concluding on growth quality.

A closer look at what is happening inside the business
A company's statements are read with the questions that fit its type of business.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins improved (+5.3pp), but earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources — warrants closer scrutiny.
Revenue Growth
▼▼Is growth real and durable?
Trailing-12-month revenue declined 49.9% year on year — but the quarterly pace is slowing (−15% → −74%).
0 of the last 4 quarters grew year on year.
- Revenue TTM
- 102bn −49.9%
- Latest quarter YoY
- −74% slowing
What is driving the margin?
▲▲Net margin expanded to 5.19%, rising 5.3pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 1.0pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 0.2pp (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 4.5pp and Other profit / Revenue rose 1.3pp).
Most of the margin increase comes from non-core items — core operations have not kept pace, this is a margin expansion to watch carefully.
- Net Margin
- 5.19% +5.3pp
- Gross Margin
- 11.52% +1.0pp
- SG&A / Revenue
- 6.55% +0.2pp
- Non-core / Revenue
- 2.11% +5.8pp
TTM YoY · 2025Q2 -> 2026Q2
Financial result accounts for 161.4% of PBT and lifted net margin by 5.8pp — separate the operating contribution from this source.
Cash Flow
●Is profit converting into cash?
With leverage safe, cash flow shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 61.5bn against investing cash flow of -98.3bn (annual cash-flow figures for 2025).
Post-investment cash flow was negative +36.8bn. Financing cash flow was positive 0.0bn.
CFO / net income was 6,68 lần.
Track how much investment can be funded internally from operating cash flow.
Cash capex or FCF data is incomplete, so the cash-conversion view is only partial.
Earnings Quality
▼How much income is non-core?
Non-core income reaches 161.4% of pre-tax profit — core earnings are thinner than the headline.
Within that, net financial result at +113.8%, other profit at +47.6% of PBT.
- Non-core / PBT
- 161.4% high
- Net financial / PBT
- 113.8%
- Other profit / PBT
- 47.6%
Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital efficiency should be read in industry context — ROIC may fluctuate with business specifics.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
●Track how much operating profit the business generates on invested capital.
Industry characteristics make ROIC cyclical — this is a reference signal and should be read with the business context.
Working Capital Efficiency
▲▲Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 60.7 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 69.8 days, DSO rose 8.5 days, and DPO fell 0.6 days.
Improvement comes mainly from faster inventory turnover — watch whether this trend persists in coming periods.
CCC stands at 112.2 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.
DSO increased by +8.5 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.
DuPont
What drives ROE?
ROE rose from −0.1% to 2.6% — supported by net margin.
Is financial risk significant?
Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 61.5bn.
Leverage & Liquidity
▲Track net leverage, interest coverage, and the liquidity buffer on the balance sheet.
Debt maturity and the cash buffer remain the two key areas to monitor.
Some leverage signals are missing, so the current read should be treated as contextual.

TTM YoY · 2025Q2 -> 2026Q2
Balance Sheet
●Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.01x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.06x equity.
Inventory ended the period at 30.1bn, roughly 15.0% of total assets.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 34.7bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables and lower inventories. Pressure from lower payables only partly offset that benefit.
In summary
Research synthesis
What this reporting period is showing
The business is heading the right way, but the current picture is still at partial confirmation — not yet a fully clean case. The positive points have clearly improved, showing the operating base is better than before. The brighter spot is operating efficiency, with net margin improving 5.3 pp. Even so, earnings quality still needs closer monitoring because net financial result remains elevated.
- Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 5.19% after expanding 5.3pp versus the same period last year.
- Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 6.68x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for 113.8% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.
What to verify next
Questions for the next period
Whether revenue stabilizes after a −49,9% YoY decline or keeps falling.
Whether margins hold around the current 5.19% level or narrow again.
Whether operating cash flow holds its 61.5bn (cumulative for 2025) level in upcoming periods or weakens.
