None of the warning signs we check for were found.

We look for five warning signs: doubt it can keep going, weak checks on its own accounts, a notice that its past accounts can't be relied on, a change of auditor, and one customer bringing in a big share of sales. We don't check lawsuits, investigations or debt yet.

We checked the auditor's report, internal controls, restatement notices, auditor changes and big customers in the 10-K filed 19 Feb 2026, plus the 10-Q filed 23 Jul 2026 and 6 later 8-Ks.

Cheap for a reason is the question the numbers cannot answer.

Whether the price already reflects the risks is what the deep dive is for.

• Domestic Chinese Suppliers are becoming stronger competitors outside of China and Chinese OEMs for which the Company has less product content are increasingly expanding their market share outside of China, both of which in turn may negatively impact the Company’s financial performance

  Could happen

  Domestic Chinese suppliers are increasingly seeking to supply customers outside of China and domestic Chinese OEMs such as BYD, Xiomei, and Chery are expanding their sales outside of China including in Europe, South America, and Asia. While the Company is making efforts to compete with the Chinese suppliers and to supply parts to these OEMs, its product content for the Chinese OEMs is less than with more traditional European and North American OEMs. As the domestic Chinese OEMs gain market share outside of China, the Company’s sales opportunities may be limited and financial condition and cash flow negatively impacted.

• The Company’s expected annual effective tax rate could be volatile and could materially change as a result of changes in mix of earnings and other factors, including changes in tax laws and tax audits

  Already happened

  Recent and ongoing legislative developments may also create uncertainty in our future tax position. The enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “Act”) in 2025 introduced revisions affecting the utilization of foreign tax credits, requiring us to reassess the realizability of related carryforwards following our change in accounting method for assessing deferred tax assets from an incremental cash‑tax‑savings approach to the tax‑law‑ordering approach. This reassessment resulted in the recognition of an additional valuation allowance during 2025. Global tax reform initiatives, including the OECD’s implementation of a 15% global minimum tax, continue to evolve, and the timing, scope, and application of these rules to U.S.-based multinational corporations remain uncertain. As jurisdictions adopt and interpret these rules, our effective tax rate, tax liabilities, and cash tax obligations could be adversely affected. For example, the enactment of local Qualified Domestic Minimum Top‑Up Taxes (QDMTT) in Brazil and the application of its 15% minimum tax framework in 2025 led us to forego excluding certain tax incentives from the tax base to facilitate the tax‑efficient repatriation of earnings from a Brazilian affiliate, which resulted in a higher effective tax rate in that jurisdiction.

  Could happen

  We also maintain deferred tax assets, the realization of which depends on future taxable income and the continued availability of underlying tax attributes. Changes in applicable tax laws or regulations, or changes in our business performance, could affect our ability to realize these deferred tax assets and could result in additional valuation allowances.
