Sensata Earnings: We Lower Fair Value Estimate to $69 on Weaker Near Term, but Continue to See Long-Term Value

William Kerwin

We trim our fair value estimate for shares of narrow-moat Sensata Technologies to $69, from $71, to reflect a weaker fourth-quarter guide and expectations for a soft 2024. Sensata's fourth-quarter guidance missed our expectations due to a higher impact management is baking in from ongoing worker strikes at US automakers. We also anticipate soft industrial markets to persist into 2024, along with moderating automotive growth overall. Still, we see shares as deeply undervalued. We continue to think the market is missing Sensata's long-term opportunity in electrification, its design win momentum to this end, and its resulting growth potential over the next five years.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Sensata should benefit from secular trends toward electrification, efficiency, and connectivity to continue outgrowing global vehicle production.

Bears

Sensata derives three fourth of its sales from the cyclical transportation industry, leaving it vulnerable to downturns like those seen in 2019 and 2020.
