PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 03/18, Down 19%) He's disappointed with its performance, but he continues to buy it, because Lear is till doing good things. 62% of their business is outside America. They trade at a cheap 8x earnings and boast a free cash flow yield over 10%. This should be higher, but the whole sector is out of favour. Be patient.

Are a tier-one supplier of car OEMs, making seating systems and advance power management. The car industry faces chip shortages, so Lear is effected by the number of units it can deliver to carmakers, but this backlog is starting to decline and normalization is happening. Another tailwind if that electrification will boost the power management business, which boasts high margins. Lear has a good 8% free cash flow. Buy, hold and be patient. (Analysts’ price target is $167.27)
