Vulcan Value Partners made the following comment about Littelfuse, Inc. (NASDAQ:LFUS) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:

Littelfuse, Inc. (NASDAQ:LFUS) is a global manufacturer of leading technologies in circuit protection, power control and sensing. It produces fuses, circuit protectors, power control devices, and sensors. We think the company is well positioned to profit from the tailwinds of electrification across the industrial, transportation, and electrical end markets. They continue to face supply chain challenges which has negatively impacted near-term results. We do think Littelfuse has been overearning in some areas because of pandemic driven sales, and we are not valuing the company on that basis. The automobile OEMs have supply chain challenges unrelated to Littelfuse that are affecting auto sales, which has limited their orders with Littelfuse. We think these challenges are temporary and believe the OEMs will increase their orders to a more normal level when these supply chain issues are resolved.”
