12:35 PM EDT, 10/17/2025 (MT Newswires) -- CFRA, an independent research provider, has provided MT Newswires with the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:
We raise our 12-month target by $5 to $145, based on a 2026 P/E of 13.2x, a justified discount to ALV's five-year forward P/E of 15.2x. Our lift our EPS estimates to $9.70 from $9.30 for 2025 and to $11.00 from $10.75 for 2026. We introduce 2027's at $12.55. Following a much stronger-than-expected Q3, we are reiterating our Buy opinion and raising our price target on shares of ALV. While shares are down slightly following the release reflecting mild disappointment ALV did not raise full-year sales growth guidance, we think management is likely just being conservative and its recent execution has been as solid as any auto supplier, in our opinion. With a robust balance sheet and free cash flow, recent commitment to more generous cash returns to shareholders, ALV remains a preferred auto supplier and we think the company is doing an exceptional job recovering tariff costs (~75% in Q3). Looking ahead, we think ALV could benefit from stronger auto production growth in 2026 (particularly in the U.S. and China).
