The data reveals significant fluctuations in key financial metrics over the analyzed period. Net income attributable to stockholders shows a pattern of volatility with notable peaks and troughs. Initially, there is a strong upward trend from 2010 to 2011, followed by a general decline until 2014. Subsequently, a marked recovery occurs in 2015 and 2016, after which a sharp negative value appears in 2017, indicating a loss. From 2018 onward, net income recovers and stabilizes at higher levels, peaking again in 2021 before declining in the final two years, yet remaining positive.

Automotive sales and revenue generally exhibit growth with some periods of contraction. Revenue increases consistently from 2010 to 2012 and peaks slightly in 2013. Despite a decline from 2014 through 2017, a considerable recovery begins in 2018 and continues robustly through 2024, ending at the highest value in the series. This indicates a strong market rebound and expansion in recent years.

The net profit margin mirrors the trends observed in net income but highlights variations in profitability relative to sales. Margins start moderately positive in 2010, rise significantly in 2011, and then fall steadily to a low point in 2014. A substantial increase follows in 2015, with profitability peaking in 2021. However, the decline in 2017 is evident with a negative margin, consistent with the net loss recorded that year. After 2017, the margin recovers but shows a downward trend in the final years, implying reduced profitability despite rising revenues.

Net Income Trends
Fluctuating with notable loss in 2017, peaks in 2011 and 2021, followed by moderate decline through 2024.
Automotive Sales and Revenue
Overall upward trajectory with mid-decade dip, reaching highest values in the last reported years.
Net Profit Margin
Variable profitability, significant loss in 2017, strong recovery, but tapering profitability in recent years despite revenue growth.

In summary, the data illustrates a company experiencing cyclical profitability challenges, marked by a significant loss period. Recovery phases are characterized by increasing revenue and profit margins, although recent years suggest potential pressures on maintaining margin levels even as sales volumes rise. This pattern underlines the importance of managing cost structures and operational efficiencies alongside revenue expansion strategies for sustainable financial performance.
