Visteon Corporation (VC)

Our PAST TOP PICK with VC has triggered its stop at $82.  To remain disciplined, we recommending covering the position at this time.  When combined with our previous guidance, this will result in a net investment loss of 12%.  

We reiterate VC, a manufacturer of digital instrument clusters for cars, as a TOP PICK.  Recently reported earnings showed sales growing to just under $1 billion, with expanding margins, as the company introduced 30 new products.  We like that cash reserves are growing as the company buys back shares and retired debt.  It trades at 10x earnings, 2.2x book and supports a robust 51% ROE.  We recommend trailing up the stop (from $74) to $82, looking to achieve $119 -- upside potential of 25%.  Yield 0%
