BorgWarner: Solid Franchise, Shrinking Margin for Error

BorgWarner remains a competitor with the product set automakers need for mixed ICE, hybrid and EV powertrains, but recent multiple expansion and cyclical demand make upside limited from current levels. Valuation (market cap ~ $12.2B, P/E ~45x) leaves little room for execution misses. We favor a tactical short over the next 45 trading days with clea…

Avantor: Q4 Sell-Off Looks Priced In — A Mid-Term Rebound Trade

This trade ide…

Lululemon Has Room to Stretch Higher After Tariff Tailwind

Lululemon checks a lot of boxes for a mid-term long trade: strong free cash flow ($1.13B), a conservative EV/EBITDA (~6.8x), healthy margins and liquidity, and technical momentum.
