Frequently asked questions
What is Lear Corporation's revenue?
Lear Corporation's trailing twelve-month revenue is $23.52B. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is LEA?
In its most recent fiscal year, LEA ran a gross margin of 8.23%, an operating margin of 4.40%, and a net margin of 1.88%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does LEA generate?
LEA produced $527.20M in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is LEA's balance sheet healthy?
LEA holds $1.03B in cash and equivalents against $2.71B in long-term debt, on $5.04B of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
