  "account": "Strattec Security Corporation is aggressively pursuing a multiyear transformation to expand margins, modernize operations, and broaden its customer base beyond Ford, General Motors and Stellantis, which currently account for 65% of sales. The company is developing next-generation digital key fobs using ultra-wideband technology, aiming to engage automakers earlier in vehicle development, and diversifying its presence in traditional automotive markets. In the most recent quarter, Strattec's gross margin improved to 16.5% from 15.0%, while adjusted diluted earnings per share rose to $6.88 from $5.38, and net income increased by 10%. However, the company is facing SG&A expenses rising to 11.9% of sales and anticipates additional foreign-exchange pressures. Despite being debt-free with $108 million in cash, Strattec is focused on organic growth, share repurchases, and potential acquisitions to support its transformation initiatives.",
