“We used a portion of the proceeds from those sales to initiate positions in aforementioned Allstate, as well as Lear Corporation (NYSE:LEA) and Regal Rexnord Corporation. Lear is a leading manufacturer of global automotive seating and is end market agnostic to the ICE/EV (internal combustion engine to electric vehicles) secular shift. Lear has a stable business with attractive cash generation. A recent selloff in the market allowed us to establish a position at an attractive discount to our estimate of intrinsic value.”
