Valeo Weak Second Quarter Shouldn't Overshadow The Long-Term EV Story

Even though the second quarter was a pretty rough one for the auto sector, Valeo (OTCPK:VLEEY) held up okay in some respects. There are some issues to discuss with respect to orders, writedowns, and the balance sheet, but I believe these are transitory problems, and I continue to believe that Valeo is the best play on EVs in Europe and up there with BorgWarner (BWA) and Nidec (OTCPK:NJDCY) as key names to consider for the hybrid/EV evolution.

Valeo shares are up more than 30% in local terms and closer to 40% for the ADRs, roughly matching the performance of BorgWarner, since my last Valeo article and outperforming rivals like Continental (OTCPK:CTTAY) and Denso (OTCPK:DNZOY). Even with that solid run, I think these shares remain meaningfully undervalued on the basis of long-term revenue and FCF growth ranging from the low end of the mid-single-digits to the high end.
