Barclays has revised its rating for Visteon (VC, Financial), adjusting it from Overweight to Equal Weight. The financial institution also lowered Visteon's price target significantly from $110 to $82. This shift is part of a broader reassessment involving several companies in the autos and mobility sector, driven by the anticipated earnings impact of ongoing tariff issues.

The firm highlights multiple immediate pressures that pose challenges for investors, including earnings vulnerabilities and potential risks to consumer financial health. Moreover, there is increasing uncertainty surrounding investments in automotive technology.
