Seeking Alpha: Despite A Share Price Slide, Commercial Vehicle's Plan Remains On Track

Institutional investors can be a notoriously fickle and impatient lot and Commercial Vehicle (NASDAQ:CVGI) shares have certainly fallen out of favor since the summer of 2014. Commercial Vehicle wasn't the only commercial vehicle-exposed company to see its stock slide, Cummins (NYSE:CMI) and Allison (NYSE:ALSN) also saw declines (albeit not as steep), but it looks as though the Street was unimpressed with Commercial Vehicle's mid-September Analyst Day and is less bullish on the long-term self-improvement prospects.

Admittedly, management's guidance that 2015 and 2016 will be years of investment instead of significant margin improvement was a little sobering. Likewise, I can understand if investors are worried that management is banking on agriculture equipment, a sector that many now expect to be in a multiyear bear market, as a major source of future growth. All things considered, though, not a lot has changed in my long-term fundamental outlook for the company and I continue to believe that $10 is a credible medium-range destination for the shares.
