When gas prices were high and Class 8 truck orders were rolling in, Tenneco (NYSE:TEN) didn't look as strong as other vehicle part and component suppliers like Allison Transmission (NYSE:ALSN), BorgWarner (NYSE:BWA), and Cummins (NYSE:CMI).
While the ABCs are now suffering from concerns about the health of the
truck market, the impact of lower gas prices, and the future of the
internal combustion engine (or ICE) powertrain, Tenneco seems
better-placed for today's circumstances.
Relative to Cummins, I think Tenneco's emissions control business is
well-positioned given its exposure to passenger and off-highway
vehicles, and I think the company's also in a good position to take
advantage of stronger near-term demand for bigger passenger vehicles.
The long-term future of ICE powertrains in the passenger segment is a
point to consider, but I believe Tenneco is still undervalued if it can
generate 3% to 4% long-term revenue growth with a modest improvement in
free cash flow generation.
