COMMENT
Lear Corp.

A big producer of auto seats and a solid, solid company. Has done really well over the last couple of years, executing extremely well. Prefers Magna (MG-T), which is a lot cheaper and probably a heck of a lot better. As a Canadian company, it is probably easier for a Canadian investor, plus the dividends are eligible for Canadian dividend credits.

TOP PICK
Lear Corp.

Automotive seating systems. Trading at less than 9X earnings. Growing rapidly and well-managed. The auto industry is more than just North America. About 17 ½ million units out of N.A., 22 million out of Europe and about 26 million out of China. Dividend yield of 1.2%. (Analysts’ price target is $167.)

A secondary automotive play in 35 countries. They manufacture automotive seat fixtures. Very effectively managed. Trading at a very nice multiple of about 10X earnings, yet there growth is in the mid-teens. Dividend yield of 1.13%. The entire auto industry is about 55 million units, with about a 3rd of that being in North America. The European market is just getting off its back in terms of automotive recovery.

COMMENT
Lear Corp.

Auto parts manufacturer. FM value is quite a bit higher than the current price. The P/E ratio is 10.5 times, which is not bad. The bad news, on a Price to Book basis, is that it is now trading at a high since the market bottom of 2008-2009 at about 2.5X BV. For an auto parts Company, that is getting up there. He typically sees them peaking at about 3.5X BV, so there is more room. He can see some upside, but don’t fall in love with it.
