After a 72.15% one year total shareholder return and fresh contract wins in hybrids and SUVs, BorgWarner's set up looks very different to a year ago. Does the current price still leave enough upside to justify the risk?
BorgWarner's most followed narrative pegs fair value at $76.87 versus the current $63.74 share price, framing the recent contract wins within a wider earnings and cash flow story.
