Here is what McIntyre Partnerships has to say about Garrett Motion Inc.  in its Q3 2021 investor letter:

“Despite some modest movements in positions, Q3 was a relatively uneventful period. Our concentration in GTX and its pullback during the quarter drove most of our decline, but our performance largely mirrored the macro undercurrents during the quarter, with small cap and value stocks flat to down after a strong H1 performance. Auto suppliers broadly fell as semiconductor supply issues caused a significant retrenchment in global auto production. Entering Q3, most market observers expected Q2 to mark a trough with Q3 production forecast up 10% sequentially. Instead, auto production fell 10% sequentially and consensus now expects 2021 auto production to be flat year-over-year. Despite the supply issues, auto demand remains strong, as evidenced by sharply rising used car prices and record low dealer inventories, and I believe auto production issues are delayed rather than lost sales.”
