CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We raise our 12-month target by $5 to $165, based on a 2027 P/E of 9.4x, a justified discount to LEA's five-year average forward P/E of 11.8x. We increase our adjusted EPS estimates to $15.10 from $14.40 for 2026 and to $17.50 from $16.60 for 2027. Following LEA's much better-than-expected Q1 release, we raise our estimates and price target and reiterate our Buy rating on the shares. We see an increasing likelihood of a full-year earnings guidance hike later this year following the strong Q1 results. We think LEA's valuation and risk/reward profile are attractive at current levels, as the stock remains well below its 2021 highs of over $200/share and it boasts one of the industry's strongest earnings track records (only one miss in the past 18 quarters). We are encouraged by its reported improvement in safety content per vehicle in Europe and Africa, regions that have lagged North America in recent years. We think LEA's long history of share repurchases distinguishes it from auto supplier peers.
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Lear Corporation (LEA) posted Q1 adjusted EPS of $3.87 vs. $3.12 (+24%), well ahead of the $3.51 consensus. Revenue rose 5% to $5.82B ($20M below consensus) and gross margin expanded 120 bps to 7.7% (20 bps below consensus). The beat was attributable to a share count reduction from buybacks, as LEA repurchased $75M of stock in Q1 and its average share count was 5% lower Y/Y. In LEA's largest market of Europe and Africa (40% of LEA's total Q1 revenue), content per vehicle rose by a robust 7.5% Y/Y, while North American content fell by 4.1%. The North American decline appears to reflect mix effects, while the European/African improvement aligns with the secular trend of increasing safety and content per vehicle. LEA maintained all prior full-year guidance. LEA shares are currently trading 3% higher in pre-market trading following the release. We think that with Q1 earnings coming in well ahead of expectations, the probability of the company raising full-year guidance later this year is significantly higher.
