Narrow-moat Continental will recall a portion of the integrated braking systems it supplied to BMW, costing Continental a mid-double-digit million (euro) amount. We estimate the size of the warranty accrual to only hit Continental’s bottom line by approximately 3%. We therefore leave our fair value estimate of EUR 108 per share unchanged.
Continental is well positioned to capitalize on auto industry trends like safety, electronics, connectivity, and automated driving. As a result, we expect the company's revenue to average growth in excess of average annual growth in global light vehicle production.
The cyclical, capital-intensive nature of the automotive industry can cause companies to experience substantial swings in profitability.
