Zacks Analyst Interview Highlights: Stoneridge, TRW Automotive, Tenneco, Ford and General Motors.CHICAGO -- Zacks.com releases the latest Analyst Interview. Today's interview is with senior analyst Paul Raman, who discusses Stoneridge (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange : SRI), TRW Automotive
On 12th December 12 2002, Northrop Grumman acquired TRW Inc. An 80.1% stake (later increased to more than 90%) in TRW Automotive Holdings, including the former LucasVarity Automotive, was spun off to (NYSE: TRW TRW The Real World (TV reality show) TRW The Right Way TRW Tactical Reconnaissance Wing TRW The Retriever Weekly (University of Maryland, Baltimore, MD) TRW Thompson Ramo Wooldridge Inc ), Tenneco (NYSE: TEN), Ford (NYSE: F) and General Motors (NYSE: GM). A synopsis A summary; a brief statement, less than the whole. A synopsis is a condensation of something—for example, a synopsis of a trial record. of today's Analyst Interview is presented below. The full article can be read at http://at.zacks.com/?id=2678. Are things any better on the auto suppliers' side of the industry? Actually, they really are. For instance, Stoneridge (NYSE: SRI) is aggressively cutting costs and benefiting from the growth of the overall commercial vehicle market. Increased use of electronics in vehicles is also benefiting the company. We rate the shares of Stoneridge a Buy with a target of $13.50. SRI designs and manufactures engineered electrical and electronic components, modules, and systems for the automotive, medium and heavy-duty truck, and agricultural vehicle markets. For TRW Automotive (NYSE: TRW), which is a global leader in the development and supply of active and passive safety technologies, this is a company that has excellent long-term prospects. Primarily this is because of the increasing emphasis being put on safety awareness by the government and consumers. Management is re-evaluating its cost structure and is keen on undertaking restructuring activities. We rate the stock a Buy with a target price of $45.00. Another Buy recommendation I currently have is on the leading auto parts Auto parts are components of automobiles. They mainly are, in alphabetic order (only car specific articles or articles with car section):
See: Secondary market. aftermarket See secondary market. , Tenneco (NYSE: TEN). Tenneco is witnessing revenue improvements and has been successful in cost reduction efforts and restructuring activities. The company holds a leading position in nearly every product category it offers. Moreover, diversification has proved to be a major positive for the company. What risk factors exist for investors who may be looking to diversify into the auto supplier segment? Our primary concern is the soft automotive climate in a general sense. Persistent production cuts announced by Ford (NYSE: F) and General Motors (NYSE: GM) remain a matter of concern. The pricing environment remains challenging, as well. Suppliers like TRW are feeling the pinch, as OEMs demand more concessions in the face of profitability constraints. This, coupled with weak volumes, risk putting margins under pressure for these kinds of companies.
