Auto Stocks' Q3 Earnings Lineup for Nov 14: AAP, PSIX, SORL

The auto sector has been one of the worst performers this earnings season. Auto companies’ results as of Nov 9, 2016 displayed a year-over-year decline of 8.2% in earnings and 1.1% in revenues, per our latest Earnings Outlook. In comparison, S&P 500 companies that have reported so far posted a 4% increase in earnings on a 2.7% rise in revenues.

The decline in U.S. auto sales in August and September affected the quarterly results of many automakers. The pressure to maintain attractive incentives and deals also strained their margins. Further, expenses related to safety recalls as well as the adverse impact of foreign currency translation remain headwinds for the sector.

Meanwhile, strong sales growth in China and Europe has been the primary driving factor for the auto sector in Q3. Moreover, low fuel prices are driving the sales of higher margin vehicle segments, such as SUVs and light trucks.

With all these factors in mind, let’s see what awaits these three auto stocks that are slated to release third-quarter 2016 results on Nov 14.
