Garrett Motion won its first commercial production award for an oil-free, foil bearing-based centrifugal E-Cooling compressor to be integrated by Cling into next-generation electric buses and trucks. The high-speed unit, spinning above 160,000 RPM, is up to 50% smaller and 30% lighter than conventional scroll compressors and promises lower noise and higher energy efficiency in EV thermal management.

In the fourth quarter, Garrett Motion reported net sales of $891 million, a 6% year-over-year increase, and delivered adjusted earnings per share of $0.42 versus a $0.36 consensus. Net income reached $84 million, operating cash flow was $99 million, and adjusted free cash flow totaled $139 million, while the company repurchased $72 million of stock and authorized a new $250 million buyback program for 2026.

Garrett Motion represents a 1.19% weighting in the Hartford Multifactor Small Cap ETF, making its operational and financial performance a modest driver of ROSC returns. Any material share-price movement in Garrett could trigger automatic rebalancing flows in the ETF’s quarterly adjustments.
