Aptiv PLC's stock price fell as it hit a 5-day low amid broader market gains in the Nasdaq-100 and S&P 500.
The decline in Aptiv's stock comes as President Trump visited Detroit, emphasizing the need for U.S. automakers to embrace competition from China. This visit underscores the significance of the auto industry to the U.S. economy, but it also raises concerns about the competitive landscape for companies like Aptiv.
Investors may be reacting to the potential implications of increased competition, which could affect Aptiv's market position and profitability in the long term.
