Read MoreHide Full Article

Tenneco Inc. recently released its 2017 revenue outlook at the Deutsche Bank Global Auto Industry Conference in Detroit. The company expects to surpass the light vehicle industry production by 4 percentage points in 2017. This will lead to a 5% increase in total revenue based on current industry production forecast and 2016 constant currency.
 
Tenneco has outpaced industry production by more than 3 percentage points in the last 10 years. The 2017 outlook implies that the company will be able to maintain the track record. The company expects to benefit from multiple factors in 2017 which include strong global position in light vehicle platforms, regulatory-driven Clean Air content, rising demand for advanced suspension systems and leading position in the global aftermarket.

Tenneco’s 2017 revenue estimates are based on projections of a 1% hike in the light vehicle global industry production, 2% improvement in the commercial truck global production and 2% rise in off-highway engine production in the regulated regions of North America and Europe.

For 2018 and 2019, Tenneco expects revenue growth, excluding currency impact, to improve and outpace industry production by 3–5 percentage points each year.
 
Tenneco is slated to release fourth-quarter 2016 results on Feb 7, 2016.
