Sensata Technologies Has Cooled, And That May Be An Opportunity

Sensata Technologies (NYSE:ST) is an example of what happens when a high-expectations story doesn't live up to those expectations. While the company has performed reasonably well since my last update from a financial/operating perspective, the shares are down about 7% since my last update and down about 12% this year as investors have come to realize that auto sales can't grow to the sky.

The company still has strong positions in its addressed sensor and control markets, and sensors offer some respectable long-term margin opportunities. What's more, there's a lot more Sensata can do to grow its business outside of autos, while also leveraging the benefits of past acquisitions. If Sensata can pair mid single-digit revenue growth with high single-digit FCF growth, these shares look undervalued today and priced for a double-digit annualized return.
