Barclays Likes Lear (LEA) (JCI) (TEN) (DAN) in Auto Parts Sector

Barclays (NYSE:BCS) analyst Brian Johnson recommends buying shares of Ford (NYSE:F) and General Motors (NYSE:GM) as the stock price of both companies have fallen over 14 percent recently, but he also likes the auto parts sector, eyeing companies like Dana Holding (NYSE:DAN), Johnson Controls (NYSE:JCI), Lear Corp. (NYSE:LEA) and Tenneco (NYSE:TEN).

Of particular note for the parts industry is the commercial truck segment, where things are taking off because orders have come back strong.

As for auto sales, the reason Johnson is bullish there is from price increases on vehicles from the manufacturers, Turbo Ecoboost technology from Ford, and production estimates are probably understated.

Tenneco closed Thursday at $43.60, gaining $0.30, or 0.69 percent. Lear Corporation ended the day at $48.97, rising $0.74, or 1.53 percent. Johnson Controls closed the session at $40.73, up $0.60, or 1.50 percent. Dana Holding closed at $18.33, increasing $0.51, or 2.86 percent.

Lear (NYSE:LEA) EPS, Cash Flow Adjusted on Volumes, Guidance, Valuation

Citing 2011 guidance, valuation multiples and light vehicle production volumes, CRT capital adjusted their EPS and cash flow estimates on Lear (NYSE:LEA).

CRT says, "We are revising our earnings and cash flow estimates to reflect, among other things: (1) our most recent light vehicle production volumes, (2) management’s 2011 guidance, and (3) slightly higher valuation multiples. As a result of the aforementioned revisions, we are increasing our price target on the Company’s Common Shares to $126/share. Our revised price target is approximately 20% above the most recent closing price ($104.99)...We believe that the strength of LEA’s credit profile is already largely reflected in the trading levels of its 7.875% Senior Notes due ’18 and 8.125% Senior Notes due ’20 (collectively, the “Senior Notes”), which recently traded at dollar prices of 108 and 110, respectively, to yield 6.0% and 6.2%, respectively. As a result, we are affirming our “Fair Value” rating on the Senior Notes."

CRT Capital maintains a "Buy" rating on Lear (LEA), which closed Monday at $107.12, up $2.13, or 2.03 percent. CRT raised their price target on Lear from $92 to $126.

Accumulate Lear (NYSE:LEA) on Weakness says Soleil

Soleil noted, "We have increased our earnings assumptions for Lear for 2010, 2011 and 2012 to reflect higher industry build assumptions in North America and in Europe, an increase in awarded business, and recent company comments...We have increased our target price as the market increasingly looks to 2012 earnings, but believe the supplier group will remain volatile, presenting better buying opportunities over the coming months and look to accumulate the stock on weakness."

Tenneco (NYSE:TEN), Dana Holding (NYSE:DAN), Lear (NYSE:LEA), ArvinMeritor (NYSE:ARM) Among Barclays' Auto Favorites,

Even after a strong 2010 Barclays (NYSE:BCS) says they believe the auto sector could have more room to grow, including their favorites Tenneco (NYSE:TEN), Dana Holding (NYSE:DAN), Lear (NYSE:LEA) and ArvinMeritor (NYSE:ARM), as well as Ford (NYSE:F) and GM (NYSE:GM).

Barclays said, "Even after strong 4Q10 and YTD 2011 performance auto stocks may have room for further strength. Based on our analysis of prior recoveries, in particular in the early 1990s, we believe that auto stocks may have another 6-9 months of outperformance left for three reasons: 1) continued growth in sales with the economic recovery back on track, 2) room for further multiple expansion, even to the point of 'overshooting'; and 3) continued supportive Fed policy - the withdrawal of which typically marks the end of automotive outperformance. We believe that OEMs, which have generally lagged parts, still offer relative value, reiterating our Overweight for both Ford and GM and a new price target of $23 for F (26% potential upside) and an increased price target of $48 for GM (23% potential upside); in addition, we continue to like less-than-fully valued strong adoption curve growth stories - Tenneco (reiterating OW with a PT $57 (32% potential upside), as well as turnaround values Dana Holding (reiterating OW with a $25 PT, 39% potential upside), and Lear (upgrading to OW with a $123 PT, 16% potential upside). We also continue to like ArvinMeritor which offers leverage to the strong cyclical recovery in commercial vehicles."

Tenneco was trading at $44.29, gaining $2.38, or 5.68 percent, as of 2:39 PM EST. Dana Holding was at $18.55, up $.073, or 4.10 percent. Lear was at $108.02, gaining $2.22, or 2.10 percent. ArvinMeritor was trading at $21.99, up $0.57, or 2.66 percent.
