BorgWarner Inc. (ISIN US0997241064) is heading toward its third-quarter results after BofA raised its price target from USD 78 to USD 85 and upgraded the stock from Neutral to Buy on October 15, 2026, as MarketScreener reported.

Target rises before results
The October 15 action is the latest dated analyst event in the available coverage. BofA's move followed BorgWarner's second-quarter performance and reflected a more constructive view of its auto technology and newer power opportunities, according to MarketScreener. The target change matters because it raises the valuation reference while the company prepares to report another quarter.
What does the target change mean?
The answer lies in the gap between recent execution and the market price. BorgWarner delivered adjusted earnings per share of USD 1.42 in the second quarter of 2026, above the USD 1.28 consensus, while revenue reached USD 3.65 billion against USD 3.58 billion expected, according to MarketBeat. Full-year 2026 adjusted earnings-per-share guidance stands at USD 5.05 to USD 5.30, giving the target revision a company-specific earnings reference.
Three dates shape the story
On August 5, 2026, BorgWarner reported second-quarter adjusted earnings per share of USD 1.42 and authorized a USD 1.00 billion share repurchase, according to MarketBeat. On October 15, 2026, BofA lifted its target to USD 85 from USD 78 and changed its rating to Buy, as MarketScreener reported. On October 29, 2026, BorgWarner is scheduled to release its third-quarter results and hold its earnings event, according to MarketScreener.
Results arrive October 29
The next report will test whether the second-quarter earnings advantage can continue while full-year guidance remains in place. It will also give investors a fresh measure of demand across combustion, hybrid, electric vehicle and power-related systems.
