Summary
Lear: Becoming Bullish On Better Prospects (Rating Upgrade)
I raise my rating for Lear Corporation to "Buy," following my evaluation of its financial outlook. LEA anticipates that its 4Q25 performance will be at the upper end of management guidance; it also expects a return to positive topline and bottom-line expansion next year. There are multiple financial improvement drivers, such an absence of one-offs, reshoring trends, Chinese OEM penetration, and automation-driven expense reductions.
