OPMobility shares surged over 3% after the auto supplier reported stronger-than-expected second-half operating margins and cash flow, offsetting soft revenue. Revenue fell 4% year-on-year to €4.88 billion, driven by declines in Exterior & Lighting and Modules. However, operating margin expanded to 4.7%, beating consensus and rising from 4.1% a year earlier. Net income reached €95 million, 6% above estimates and up 36% YoY, while free cash flow hit €132 million, 20% ahead of forecasts.

The company proposed a €0.49 per share dividend. Management reiterated 2026 margin expansion targets, though full-year economic revenue growth lagged behind global automotive production. The board confirmed CEO Félicie Burelle's three-year renewal and signaled a potential lighting business acquisition as a strategic step.
