Description: FR Valeo January 13, 2026

Valeo SE is a French-based automotive technology group founded in 1923, headquartered in Paris, and listed on Euronext Paris (ticker FR). It designs, manufactures, and sells a broad portfolio of components and systems for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and the aftermarket across Europe, Africa, the Americas, and Asia.

The business is organized into three segments:

  • Power: thermal management solutions for internal-combustion and electric vehicles, including XL-plate liquid coolers, electrically driven compressors, heat-pump systems, and battery-cooling casings, as well as cabin-comfort and air-quality products such as smart cocoon, active grille shutters, and UV air purifiers.
  • Brain: advanced driver-assistance and automated-driving technologies-ultrasonic sensors, radars, cameras, Lidar (Scala), 360° vision (360VUE), parking (Park4U), cruise control (Cruise4U), domain controllers-and interior ergonomics like heads-up displays, smart steering-wheel hubs, and telematics (phone-as-key, passive entry/start).
  • Light: interior and exterior illumination systems, notably LED headlamps, non-blinding road beams, wiper mechanisms, and sensor-cleaning solutions.

Key recent metrics indicate Valeo generated €23.5 bn of revenue in 2023, with an R&D intensity of roughly 9 % of sales (≈€2.1 bn), reflecting its focus on electrification and ADAS. The segment most sensitive to macro trends is Power, where EV-related thermal-management demand is projected to grow at a 20 % CAGR through 2030, driven by tightening CO₂ regulations in the EU and China. Meanwhile, the Brain segment benefits from the global surge in automated-driving software spend, estimated at €45 bn in 2024, but faces supply-chain constraints for semiconductor components.
