Sensata Technologies shows modest organic growth and gradual deleveraging but remains hampered by flattish sales and highly adjusted earnings. Recent SKU rationalization is hurting top-line sales but could improve margins, though tangible benefits remain to be seen. Leverage is trending down, with net debt reduced to $2.43 billion and a 2.9x EBITDA ratio, yet it remains elevated.
Sensata (ST) has been upgraded to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), reflecting growing optimism about the company's earnings prospects. This might drive the stock higher in the near term.
Here at Zacks, our focus is on the proven Zacks Rank system, which emphasizes earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find great stocks. Nevertheless, we are always paying attention to the latest value, growth, and momentum trends to underscore strong picks.
