VC
Apr 26, 2024 | 06:17 EDT
Wells Fargo upgraded Visteon to Equal Weight from Underweight with a price target of $108, up from $106. The firm cites valuation and improving margins for the upgrade. Visteon screens well vs. peers as growth over market helps offset flat LVP, lower labor inflation risk, improving free cash flow and competitor disruption, though risks remain around battery electric vehicle growth and profitability, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
VC

SIRI
Apr 24, 2024 | 04:52 EDT
Citi upgraded Sirius XM (SIRI) to Neutral from Sell with a price target of $3.30, down from $4.10. Over the last few months, the net asset value discount between Liberty SiriusXM (LSXMA) and Sirius XM has narrowed from 40% to 2%. To Citi's surprise, this occurred via a decline in Sirius XM's equity without appreciation in Liberty SiriusXM's value. The firm now finds the risk/reward in both securities as relatively balanced. As such, Citi upgraded Sirius XM from Sell to Neutral and downgraded Liberty SiriusXM from Buy to Neutral.
SIRI
Apr 24, 2024 | 04:40 EDT
Pivotal Research upgraded Sirius XM (SIRI) to Buy from Hold with a price target of $4.90, down from $5.05. The magnitude of the decline in Sirius XM's valuation has been surprising, exacerbated by a current lack of institutional ownership and the fact most investors owned parent Liberty Sirius XM (LSXMK) to play the narrowing of the net asset value gap rather than as a way to invest in Sirius, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says this has created an attractive investment opportunity, highlighted by the 55% upside to its new target price. It views Sirius as a free cash flow acceleration story.
