03:10 PM EDT, 04/17/2026 (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 maintain a 12-month price target of $145, based on a 2027 P/E of 11.3x, a justified discount to ALV's five-year forward P/E of 14.0x. Following a much stronger-than-expected Q1, we reiterate our Buy opinion and $145 price target on ALV. We lower our 2026 adjusted EPS estimate by $0.20 to $11.00 but keep 2027's unchanged at $12.80. In our view, the release went a long way toward easing demand-related concerns, both for the company and broader auto supplier industry. ALV remains one of our top picks in the auto supplier space, as justified by its strong track record of execution (this was its sixth consecutive earnings beat), organic net sales growth that continues to exceed global light vehicle growth by a wide margin thanks to its exposure to higher-growth manufacturers and countries (i.e., India), and generous cash returns to shareholders. While we have concerns regarding ALV's ability to hit full-year operating margin guidance, its organic net sales growth is running ahead of expectations.
