Delphi split in 2017, and this half kept the electrical architecture and software that make a vehicle's electronics work rather than the powertrain components. Wiring harnesses, connectors, and the software that manages them grow in content per vehicle as cars add sensors and driver assistance, so revenue can rise even when unit production does not. Electric vehicles require substantially more electrical content than combustion ones. The company is incorporated in Jersey. Headquarters are in Schaffhausen, Switzerland.

Equity comp at Aptiv
- Aptiv's RSUs and performance-based RSUs use double-trigger acceleration: outstanding unvested awards vest in full only upon a qualifying termination (without cause, for good reason, or due to death/disability) within two years after a change in control, or upon a change in control itself if the acquirer does not provide a qualifying replacement award. Performance-based RSUs vest at the greater of actual performance through the change-in-control date or 100% of the target grant.
- RSUs use double-trigger vesting. Two things must both happen before the shares are yours: (1) the normal time-based vesting completes, and (2) the company has a liquidity event (an IPO or an acquisition). Until both happen, you do not yet own the shares and you do not owe tax on them.

A protective put caps your downside on the APTV position at a chosen floor; a zero-cost collar pays for that floor by capping the upside. This calculator prices both structures off the current APTV option chain, with annual cost, max loss, and tax-treatment notes.
Example: a 5,000-share APTV position at $43.54 is worth $217,700. A 1-year 30%-OTM put on that position typically runs 2-4% of position value per year (about $4,354 to $8,708) before any premium offset from a short call. The calculator prices both structures off APTV's current option chain so you see the actual cost for your chosen floor, tenor, and cap.

Aptiv equity questions
- How much does it cost to hedge APTV stock?
- The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and APTV's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current APTV option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
- Does Aptiv grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at Aptiv typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
- Do Aptiv RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
- Yes. Aptiv restricted stock units (RSUs) vest only when two things both happen: the time-based schedule completes, and the company has a liquidity event such as an initial public offering (IPO) or an acquisition. Until both occur you do not own the shares and owe no tax on them.
