Oppenheimer Thinks BorgWarner’s Stock is Going to Recover


In a report released today, Noah Kaye from Oppenheimer maintained a Buy rating on BorgWarner (NYSE: BWA), with a price target of $58. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $44.17, close to its 52-week low of $42.06.

Kaye commented:

“Yesterday we attended an Investor Day hosted by Garrett, Honeywell’s powertrain spin-off. BorgWarner holds a close second position in turbocharger market share behind Garrett, whose management made a strong case for growing turbo penetration over the next five to seven years. Beyond that, we see support for several tenets of our BWA investment thesis. First, we view BorgWarner’s positioning on electrification as relatively attractive. Per our EV Tracker, global BEV sales are currently outpacing PHEVs. While that trend could well reverse, we favor platforms with a balanced product portfolio across propulsion types, and see BorgWarner as well positioned. Second, we see technology trends enabling BWA’s transition from component supplier to strategic propulsion partner. We believe BWA’s upcoming Day could help solidify these points for investors.”
