BorgWarner Inc. reported an insider sale on February 18, 2026, when Vice President Isabelle McKenzie sold 2,458 shares of the company’s common stock for a total of $151,254. The transaction carried a weighted average price of $61.5358 per share, with individual sale prices ranging from $61.5336 to $61.5400.
After the sale, McKenzie directly holds 66,351 shares of BorgWarner. The automotive supplier is currently valued at $12.5 billion and has seen its shares appreciate by more than 111% over the past year, according to InvestingPro data.
On valuation metrics, the stock is trading at a price-to-earnings ratio of 47.29 and is trading close to its 52-week high of $70.08. InvestingPro’s analysis noted the shares as fairly valued. BorgWarner has maintained dividend payments for 14 consecutive years, and analysts cited in the data expect net income growth for the current year.
Recent operational results provide additional context for the market’s view. BorgWarner reported fourth-quarter 2025 earnings that beat expectations, posting earnings per share of $1.35 versus a consensus forecast of $1.18. Revenue for the quarter came in at $3.57 billion, exceeding the anticipated $3.51 billion.
Market analysts have responded to the company’s performance and strategic direction. Deutsche Bank upgraded BorgWarner’s rating from Hold to Buy and raised the price target to $82.00 from $46.00. The bank characterized BorgWarner’s move into the AI data center market as a meaningful transition from the company’s traditional role, and that shift was noted in Deutsche Bank’s rationale for the larger price target.
Together, the insider sale, recent earnings outperformance and the Deutsche Bank upgrade sketch a snapshot of activity around BorgWarner as it navigates both operational execution and a strategic repositioning. The company’s mix of steady dividend history, near-term earnings expectations and a notable valuation multiple are central metrics for investors assessing the stock amid this period of change and growth.
