Tenneco Inc (TEN), Magna International Inc. (USA) (MGA), Genuine Parts Company (GPC): The Great Recovery Of The Auto Industry

Botton line

In order to have a sense of the three stocks analyzed here, you must have an eye on the auto industry. It is impossible to dissociate automakers for auto part distributors. Nevertheless, it is also necessary to understand the market share of each and the geography on which each operates. Those who place all the eggs in the same basket are exposed and may be taken out of the game very easily. Chicago automakers surely have felt the economic downturn, but not all automakers are based out of the Windy City. Tenneco seems to have misunderstood the proverb and suffered a bad turn in the U.S., but also the uptrend in developing countries.
