Read MoreHide Full Article
Autoliv, Inc. (ALV - Free Report) announced that its board has completed its planned review of the company’s operational efficiency and has decided to move forward with the public listing of the company’s Electronics business segment. The listing is expected to conclude by the third quarter of 2018.
Autoliv’s Electronics business is one of the two operating segments within the company that offers restraint control, sensing and brake systems.
While the other segment is called Passive Safety, offering airbag systems, steering wheels and seatbelts.
In September, the company had informed to conduct a strategic evaluation of its operating structure and look into the possibilities of creating a separate entity with the Electronics business unit.
The key factors behind this spin-off decision include varying technological advancements and skill set needs, different sales growth rates, market requirements etc.
Per the spin-off, the Electronics business segment is anticipated to receive cash investments from the parent company in order to retain Autoliv’s investment grade.
The spin-off company is likely to be listed in both the United States and Sweden. Moreover, Autoliv’s Passive Safety segment would operate under the company’s name post the spin-off and it will continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Stockholm.
Price Performance
In the last 30 days, shares of Autoliv have outperformed the industry it belongs to. The stock has gained 4.5% compared with the industry’s decline of 0.6% during the period.
American Axle has an expected long-term growth rate of 8.1%. In the last three months, shares of the company have been up 8.3%.
Oshkosh has an expected long-term growth rate of 16.5%. In the last three months, shares of the company rallied 16.4%.
Volvo has an expected long-term growth rate of 15%. Year to date, shares of the company have soared 63%.
Will You Make a Fortune on the Shift to Electric Cars?
Here's another stock idea to consider. Much like petroleum 150 years ago, lithium power may soon shake the world, creating millionaires and reshaping geo-politics. Soon electric vehicles (EVs) may be cheaper than gas guzzlers. Some are already reaching 265 miles on a single charge.
With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.
