Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Autoliv stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Autoliv’s adjusted earnings and revenues in the first quarter of 2017 beat estimates. Autoliv will benefit from acquisitions and JVs. The company also boosts shareholder value through capital deployment and product launches. However, adjusted earnings fell year over year. Negative currency translation effects and rising commodity costs are a major headwind for Autoliv.  Moreover, the company’s electronics segment is under pressure. The company is expected to incur losses in 2017 related to its joint venture with Volvo Cars. Furthermore, operating cash flows in the year are expected to decline compared to 2016. Though the company occupies a leading position in the market, it faces stiff competition in passive safety products from Takata Corporation and TRW Automotive Holdings Corp. Autoliv underperformed the Zacks categorized Auto/Truck-Original Equipment industry in the last three months." (5/23/2017)
• 2. BMO Capital Markets analysts commented, "We believe the recent sell-off in ALV shares has created a more opportunistic buying opportunity. The growth outlook remains robust following two years of very strong bookings, although 2017 results will be negatively affected by the need for increased investment spending, setting 2018 (and likely 2019) up for double-digit EPS growth. We reiterate our Outperform rating." (2/6/2017)
• 3. Jefferies Group LLC analysts commented, "We lower ALV to Hold as we now see limited upside to valuation and estimates. With the exception of tyre profits for 2017, we make only minor changes to our estimates, largely updating for the FX moves." (1/19/2017)
