PAST TOP PICK
Apr 17, 2024
(A Top Pick Apr 21/23, Up 1%)
Auto parts, attuned to electrification. Very good operator. Not much going on in past year. Technology needs to catch up on EVs so that consumer fully buys in. Poised to do extremely well on margins and profitability. When the stars align, will see a lot of action here. Not if, but when.
(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.
(A Top Pick Oct 03/18, Down 19%) Auto industry has been on its back. Need a solution in the trade wars. Fine company. Trades at 8x earnings. 10% free cashflow yield. Good quality company. No reason to sell.
They make electric powertrain and seating in cars, so they will benefit from the rise of e-cars in the future. Lear operates in 38 countries and leads in their industry. Seating won't go away. Trades at only 10x earnings. It generates a lot of cash. (Analysts’ price target is $204.94)
(A Top Pick May 25/21, Down 29%) They make seats and electrified power for cars. Is suffering supply constraints. They reported earnings this morning--strong. They can't produce the volume they need. Demand is there, but not supply. Be patient. Things will improve.
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)
