REASONABLE

63

out of 100

Lear Corp earns a fundamental-quality score of 63 out of 100, profiling it as a company of reasonable quality. Its score rests mainly on its growth (revenue +6.2%/yr). Its weakest area is its profitability (net margin 2.3%). Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.

What the company does

Lear makes the world's car seats and wiring: one in four automobile seats bears its signature, and its electrical systems feed everything from the headlight to the EV's battery. A giant supplier whose fate is tied to its customers' factories.

What will shape its future

  • Global vehicle production, the volume it inescapably lives on.
  • The electric car and its architecture, revaluing its wiring business.
  • Automaker price pressure, the classic squeeze on the supplier.
